SNGs so far....

I'm 2 weeks into this SNG experiment. Lately I've been playing 3 tables at a time in an attempt to get some volume in. So far I've played 38 games and cashed in 19, or half of them. I've got 3 firsts, 11 seconds, and 5 thirds. I'm only up about 13 bucks or so, but if you think about it in terms of buyins that's about 6 or 7 so really not all THAT bad.

The thing I hate about playing multiple tables though is that I feel like I'm being way to nitty (tight). I'm basically just playing good hands only, and not getting fancy at all. I mean if you think about it, how can that really be a bad thing right? At a low level like $2.25 there are so many bad players that are going to make mistakes that you don't really have to get crafty. Still, there's that nagging part of me that feels like I'm missing out on opportunities because I just can't focus that much on each table as I'm playing. It really feels crappy when you don't get any playable hands, you're super short stacked on the bubble and at the mercy of the cards.

I've made a couple of 2+2 friends to exchange hands with and one of them said that you really do have to play multiple tables though if you want to make any sort of money. So I guess I'm just going to have to get used to it.

I've been good about sticking to my plan too I must say. I've only played one other game, a $1.30 turbo shootout satellite where you have to win your table to advance to the next round. I came really close in that for 2nd place. Got my money in good heads up too and it just didn't work out. Besides that, it's just been point tourneys but I'm almost out of those. :/

I still have somewhat of a tournament itch, but what I plan to do is just play the month out like I decided, take a look at what I make and THEN decide if I want to risk any portion of it for a longshot tournament.

One hand history just because of how freaking crazy it is (i'm a luckbox btw):

Oh and btw, no signifcant developments on the job front. I had one interview for a real estate entry level job week before last and I don't think they're calling me back for a 2nd interview. I saw they reposted the position on Craig's list so I'm taking that as a no. :(

I have been pulling quite a few hours at the station working in production though and that's been a LOT of fun. I got to produce a club spot for Club Worship in Showboat Casino in Atlantic city last night. It was my first time to put something like that together and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
