500 SNGs.

I have now played 500 SNGs at Stars and am happy with the results. Here is my last 47 SNGs that I have played that has got me up to the 500 mark:

Entry Fees: $5.50 x 47 = -$258.50
1st Place : $22.50 x 6 = +$135.00
2nd Place : $13.50 x 9 = +$121.50
3rd Place : $9.00 x 10 = +$90.00

TOTAL : +$88.00 ROI: 34%

It looks like I will focus on playing 3 to 4 tables at once for the next 100 or so SNGs and see how that goes.

Summer Slowdown.

Over the last several weeks it has been difficult to play online with summer here now. I had only managed to play 30 SnGs in the last several weeks on Stars with a 24% ROI. It looks like I have about 100 games more to play before I can make it onto the sharkscope leaderboard. Over this time frame that I have not played much, it has given me time to study the game at a higher level using ICM calculations and evaluating any mistakes that I have made in previous SnGs. During this time I have also read many poker articles on strategy, used 2+2 forums for a great resource and read Harrington on Hold'em Expert Strategy for No-Limit tournaments; Volume 1 : Strategic Play. Also I been following the WSOP coverage online which is getting me pumped up for finshing off my last 100 or so SnGs at the $5 level so that I can step it up to the next level and see where it takes me.
