I don't want to look at another poker hand for a week (or at least until tomarrow  ). I was just involved in the most excruciating SNG ever played.
5 + .50, 10 handed sng on Ultimate Bet. With the blinds at 150/300 we still had EIGHT people left! I was chip leader and I only had a little under 4000 chips. To top it all off we had a real idiot mouthing off in the Chat Room. Then I made a bad call on an all in bet and got slammed down to a little over 200 chips. Got REAL lucky and was able to crawl back into the chip lead. Meanwhile we finally started to loose some people (including the idiot). To tell the truth my head is so foggy I can't remember what the blinds were by this time but when we got to four left we'd been playing over 2 and a half hours. Finally one player makes a big mistake on a large pot and is crippled to less than a hundred chips and blinds out in the next couple of hands. We went into the money with a player at about 8000 chips (he benifited from the bubble's mistake), me with somewhere around 4000 and a short stack which, again, I really don't remember much about other than he was gone fairly quickly. I ended up in second place and was just glad to be done with the flippin' thing.
I do NOT want to do that again anytime soon ... or ever for that matter. I am burnt!

P.S. For those that may not play sng's a 10 handed game at the lower levels usually lasts about 45 minutes to an hour. |

1500, which I think is too much. 800 is to little. 1000 seems to be just right.

too much, you say? sacrilidge!!! Deeper stacks favor better players, because weaker players make larger mistakes with larger stacks.
Short stacks create a game where playing as an "all-in specialists" is the only way to survive. Might as well just cut high cards, or buy a lottery ticket. |
