Ok, so I've been playing SNGs for about 4 days now and I realize now how much I miss cash games. SNGs are super frustrating because there is really no poker skill involved. It's pretty much mechanical when it comes down to it. You just play tight and then move all in when the blinds get high. All of you equity comes from good bubble play. I truly feel that playing super aggressive on the bubble of these low limit games is -ev. Players make bad calls for all their chips with short stacks left at the table. It just gets disgusting. Coupled with that fact I have been on an insane bad run the past 2 days. Almost the kind that makes you want to cry. Anyway, I had my bankroll up to $277 and now I'm down to $183. I make it sound worse than it is I guess it's just that I never seem to go on a truly good run.
I'm going to update some of my goals with the project. I'm going to start by getting out of SNGs asap. I'm going to build my roll up to $1000 and then switch to 50NL. 20 buy ins will be plenty for me to burn through that level to get up to 100NL. I feel I have a much better grasp on what it takes to win cash games consistently, and there is so much less gambling than there is in SNG or MTTs. I'm a great deep stack player so I need to stick with what I'm good at. If I could guess a time period for when I'll be back into cash games I'm gonna say 2 months. So hopefully by the end of November or beginning of December I'll be crushing the low limit cash games again. Just like I was before I started this project. So beware, I'm on my way.
