Running hot. Up to $19.27 from $1 NL.

Figuring out when to switch to SNGs is a surprisingly difficult process.

I think $20 is plenty to start multi-tabling the $1.50/.25 turbos.

That's like $200 for 16s. Obviously not optimal, but definitely doable.

Then start mixing in 3/.40s at like $35

TAKING A SHOT, BABY!

Mixing in a $1.75 SNG. More to come depending on how I run at NLHE.

Only $980.73 to go. If you think it would help play some of the $2-5 MTT's and hope to get lucky.

It will be cool if you get to like 200 with a day to go, then you can grimstarr it and go all in with AQ and stuff like that.

I might not need to go higher than the $11 45-man SNGs; I might need to do a last-ditch $530 HU SNG. I'm flexible like that. A likely result is that I grind the crap out of $16s and $27s.

If you want a break for this, we can stop the clock for a day or something.

also, i'm kinda pissed you did a prop bet without letting me get any action.

So I actually feel bad about this. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. If you want to take my side, you can get plenty of action here -- I'm at $5.15 as of the beginning of this post. If you want the other side... sure, I'll make an exception and give you a little action.

what about me man? damn

We have to cut him some slack as this is not his usual stomping grounds.

also, one of my friends believes he can win over 75/100 hu plo8 5$sng on stars.

In plo8 I'd believe it. So many people are clueless - never mind at the $5 level.

I'd only believe it if such a challenge was to remain a secret to the 2+2 community.

Also, I was on a $2.15 bankroll for a while there, so I really wasn't up to working on my deepstack NLHE game.

Right now I have $32.74 and roughly $14 in equity. And to think I thought my days of grinding big-bet omaha-8 SNGs were over!

I'm pretty fluid about these things, but SNGs have already been incorporated into The Plan.
