Pressing Forward

Well I broke even play a billion hands of LHE, and I broke even playing 150ish games of 18 man SnG's. So I was in a bit of a WTF do I do now kind of mood when I got to talking to EY and he sent me a video made by "lipofund" or something like that. Anyway the guy was talking about playing multi table SnG and explains a lot about the shove shove shove style of play that seems to be right for these. I know the guy made a ton of money playing this way so
he must be doing something right.


I decided after that I was going to make a decent effort at giving this style a try. So far I have played 77 games in total. playing just about anything turbo $12 and under. However, the $12 games are really just me taking a shot and going for a quick boost. My actual BR is right above $500 so as you can see below I am concentrating on the $3.25 and playing $6.50, and the $12's sporadically.

Playing this style is tough and I am having issues figuring out if a spot is correct to shove or not. I have ended up looking quite silly a few times already. I am seeing though that when I do make it to the FT I am usually there with a decent stack. I have suffered a massive amount of very painful bad beats the last couple of days, but I guess it probably comes with the territory.

I did cut down the amount of tables I am playing right now until i get more used to playing these in this style. I am also working on getting used to playing continual instead of in sets. I honestly prefer sets, but would have to play something like 20ish tables to be able to come close to volume I want to end up getting in.

All in all I like playing this style especially as I get more used to it and pass up situations that I would have taken just a couple of days ago. I also need to be careful not to turn down the aggression to much as I have noticed that I have been getting ran over the last few final tables. I think part of it has to do with the bad beats that I suffered over the last few days, but I am not sure.

Well thats all for now ttyl...
