I declared this month SNG month. I certainly took the most risk I have ever taken playing SNGs, but it didn’t bode particularly well for me. I played in a lot of $5600 games where I played either new players who played odd but were actually pretty good at poker. I still felt like I had an edge in those games but the results didn’t show.

My first few years of poker I focused purely on 6 max texas hold’em and heads up cash. These past two year I branched out in to CAP games (for those not familiar with Full Tilt these games are where no matter your stacksize, 30bbs is all in) and heads up SNG’s. With both, I am decent winner. I just started playing some of the 20-50bb games and seeing if they may be worth looking into. I realize that most of the top players seem to prefer 100bb poker, not many innovative thinkers left for the short buy in games.

That theory certainly held true. I have lost a small amount playing the 5/10 game the past week but overall I see a weak overall strategy from many of the regs and a lot of fish too. I’m going to try to put in a 100k hands over the next 30 days at the games and seeing what kind of winnings I can put up. Hopefully they’ll be pretty good of the get go, and I’ll have a new good game to choose from.
