$10-$30 FT SNG player in a rut
May 28, 2009 - 6:17am

Hi all,

I've been playing $10 - $30 SNGs with moderate to good success over the past few months, not as regularly as I like but enough to make it a favourable hobby of mine. Recently my results have taken a dive and I'm thinking of buying some credits and unlocking PimpinDonk's videos which seem to be appropriate to me.

Anyway, that's me in a nutshell.

Welcome Grohl_

We all go through those stages and unfortunately its a part of poker. Pimpindonks is a beast and his videos would definitely help. The key is to make sure you keep making +ev decisions and variance will eventually even out.

Best of luck at the tables

mate here's some good advice, whatever bankroll you have left in your account only play sit n goes that are 3 % of your total BR. this gives you the chance to climb back up the profit ladder. i too was doing very well on 10 30 dollar sit n goes on FT but had a downswing of 600 dollars and couldnt win anything. Then i used the ferguson challenge on FT to steadily climb up in profit again albeit on lower limit tables for a while. Im now back to 30 dollar tables having recuperated all the lost funds and gained a lot more,hope to get to 55 dollar tables soon ;P

Read Poker Mindset. It helped me so much to deal with the downswings and badbeats. Simply the correct decisions are all that metters. One of the most important poker books I have ever read.

Hey Nick,

I'm grinding my way up the ladder myself. I looked at your stats...the numbers look good. I think the important thing to do when you're losing, is to review your play...look for certain situations where you think you could have played the hand differently. And of course, if there aren't any mistakes, make sure to tell yourself that you played it right and you'd do it the exact same way again. The percentages will even out in the end.

#6 I didnt cash for like 7 or 8
September 25, 2009 - 9:43pm

I didnt cash for like 7 or 8 straight with 90% of them being bubbles but I got it back and then the confidence comes back. Just ride the bad swing and a few good cashes will get u back on the road...
