$5 Single Table Sit n Go challenge

If you read my last post you know about my idea to crush all micro stakes on Stars in a series of challenges. Variance can skew results in either direction over a small sample, but for the sake of these challenges i will ignore this and base my results on 20 tournaments.

Obviously crushing any stakes would mean playing thousands of sit n gos at that level. But that is just not plausible at this time and I feel i'm just as likely to run good as bad. Besides i'm not running a scientific experiment here... its all in good fun.

Challenge: $5 single table sngs
Rules: Play 20 tournaments between 9th - 16th March '08

Results:

Played: 5
ITM:60%
ROI: 112%

---------------------------------------------

UPDATE: 12th March 2008

Played 6 more tournaments lastnight. Did not do so well. Finished 6th, 5th, 4th, 1st, 9th, 4th. bubbled alot. I think i did not adjust properly in spots, seem to be alot of spite calling going on. I will have to do something i loathe to do... review these STT sit n gos.


Results:
Played: 11
ITM: 36.36%
ROI: 33.88%

thinking of a new scoring method for this challenge

Negative ROI = Failure
Positive ROI = Completed
+50% ROI = Successful
100% ROI = Crushed

I realize now that 100% ROI will be difficult to achieve in these since you basically have to win 1 out of every 4 tournaments just to break even. It will be much easier to achieve in multi table sngs.

Challenge COMPLETED!

Welcome to Pot Limit Omaha!

After weeks of thinking about it and saying i want to play it, I finally played a few hands today. I'm not sure how many because PT is only for hold'em. But the game is so easy. Make nuts and get it AI. Thats it!
And when i say nuts i mean the absolute nuts or very close to it. Drawing to 2nd nut hands seem a sure path to variance hell.

n e way i was at the office and decided to go on stars and give it ago... actually i came across a plo vid on CR then decided to go on PS... I sat down with 30.00 on a 50nl and max buyin @ 25nl.

1st Hand Sweet! This is a very strong starting hand in Omaha. TP + 2 nut flush draws... and a lil deeper; the Kh & Kc are still out there for someone to drw to the 2nd nuts. Perfect!

Good lay down? I think so.This is a nice hand to try to see a flop cheaply with... but facing a raise i could easily bet set over setted or be drawing to the non nut flush.

In an estimated 60 hands i more than doubled by bankroll on pokerstars; from just 61.00 to 169.00... could be just variance but i'm in love with omaha!
