I know that most Micro-stakes players prefer to grind cash, but I'm taking a new approach at it... I put $50 online 3 weeks ago, and have been trying to grind it up with $1.20 9 Mans on Stars... Yeah, I'm up $1.70 after ~110 SnGs, not a big win, but I ran hot tonight...

First, I knocked out everyone in a 9 man, ending it in 26 minutes (remember, these are not turbos)

Second, I donked a HU win with a 1 outer on the river...

i wish i could run that hot :[

Y would u play games with such ridiculous rake?

You're paying 20% rake...

LOL

At first I was like

and then I was like

Dude those SAGs are going to kill you. Even if you play Omaha hi/low and wait for the nuts, you will make more than a buck seventy every 40 hours lol.

This whole thread is a major league beat.

this

threads like this make baby jesus cry.

At what point did you take a step back and frown?

qft.....

yea, 1 outer

A: I don't run good at cash
B: Grinding the 500 FPP Bonus (you don't get enough rake at any micro cash table that is within my BR to clear the bonus)
C: I don't run good at turbos


The $1.20s are the lowest variance for SnGs, and I need to play 500 of them for the instant $50... Is there a quicker way to clear a small bonus while still playing poker? If I can still have money from my deposit after the $50 bonus clears, then I also see it as a + to my BR...

I will admit that I took a 15 BI swing the first few nights playing, but I am improving...

Are u playing the 45 man's?

Also I pretty sure prisoners make more than you

I play the 9 Mans because of the following reasons

A: Less variance
B: BotP (had 1200 after 70 games last week, but got sick and couldn't finish the set)
C: Easier for me to Multi-Table

[x] unknown hand FFFFF8ED

Where's the good night part?

cant believe im the first but

[ ] 1 outer

Yeah, I realized that... It's a 3 outer...

The funny thing was I didn't realize that I had won right away... I was shouting for a king, saw the Jack, and I was a little sad, until I saw the chip-animation heading my way... I had to double check everything...

[ ] good night for a micro grinder
[x] head asplode for micro grinder

hey op i'll flip you for your roll

[ ] 1 outer

already mentioned i see. nvm then.

rly tho, aren't the rake in the $1s so huuuuge that they're not rly even beatable? deposit another $100 and play the $3s imo

You could just open up a few tables of 2NL and shove more profitably than this.

you coulda found that same amount of money under your couch cushions.

and you've have 39 hours and 58 minutes to spare.
