Update Number Something :

Ok, So after playing five of these SNGs I realised that even though I ran deep in two, I wasnt playing well at all. I was playing quite loose in the first few levels which the regs used to target me in the later levels which obviously was bad for my game around the bubble and leading up to the last 18-9.

Last night I had my first Skype session with Tony and after a bout an hour and a halfs talk alone I feel like I have learned a lot. It may only be basics but it definitely made sense some of the things I was doing wrong. I think hearing it more than reading it on a page benifited me and hit me better.

I am firing up another five throughout the day, must just go get a haircut first :P

- Eoghan

[Ziggin&Zaggin]

We are all rooting for you Eoghan. As you said you ran deep in 2 but didnt play well, just shows what BK is about. Its not running deep that counts its they way in which you got there.
You can only get better. It mite seem a little bit backward and you mite feel you are losing out on some pots playing the way you will be for the next while. But thats only an adjustment to the correct play and it will pay dividend in the long run.

Best of luck in todays games. ill try and rail for a bit if i get a chance.

[Bubbleking]

so we started at the beginning yesterday and just worked on opening ranges preflop. I explained to A_CE why it was bad to be opening as wide as he was early in tourneys so hes gonna practice opening tighter today and not bleed chips early on. The early part of these are about not losing (you cant win it in the first level)

We also worked on having a plan for our hand always. i.e. if you call a raise preflop to set mine then for gods sake dont go trying to make hero call downs

hopefully he takes on board everything we talked about because if he gets the preflop ranges down then we can spend some time on postflop and then reshoving etc etc

[A_CitizenErased]

Ok, Firing up the first of the day..will move on to some multitabling then.

Question: Is it ok being under average stack for the first few levels of these?

[A_CitizenErased]

Anything I did wrong here? Think I Played it ok. Calling flop ok with two overcards and gutshot?

[Crow]

Yes, dont pay too much attention to the average stack in the first couple of levels or your mind will be focused on how far below or above the average you are.

And the above hand, fold flop. Hit your ace or king it could fill someones straight or give someone 2 pair. Its too early to be bleeding chips like that

[A_CitizenErased]

Horrible spot where I didnt know what to do. Two biggest nits on the table from the hands we have played so far. Bleh..

[A_CitizenErased]

After playing my first two after my first session with Tony I must say I am delighted with how I played.

My bust out in the first tourney was pretty standard, and shoved K-Q under the gun in the second tourney with like 10 bbs and got called in bb with A-K. Feel like I am in the right state of mind after realizing what it is, that needs to be done to win these.

Firing up another 2 now.

[theshortstack]

I fold the AQ to the 3bet unless you have a good read on him, it's still pre antes and you will still have an M of just over 10 so still in good shape. imo anyway I could be wrong.

When you start multi tableing I have a free version of table ninja it will save ya $50 and very good for playing alot of tables.

Yeah Tony said the exact same thing to me, depends on the read.

Still making a few mistakes but getting their slowly. Happy how I played today.


Oh and thanks. That would be great.

[A_CitizenErased]

Took a few days break from the tables sorting the roll and going over hands that I feel I needed to play better.

Back on the grind Friday.

If any of ye have twitter I am doing a lot of updates on it too..

@FloatingOctopus

[Lplated]

Good luck with this.

I remember reading a post by you where you said you had got/read the "guides" on MTTSNGs [or words to that effect] - would you have any links to where they can be found online?

I've done a search but can't find what I would understand to be 'guides'.

Thanks.

Enjoying the log, keep it up.

[A_CitizenErased]

Money is in my a/c and Tony has been informed, Just need to sort one or two more things at the moment before I can dedicate to this fully. Tony has been really kind and giving me time.

Pretty big step for my life so its something I have to be very supportive in at the moment.

Cheers.
