Does it smell fishy in here?
Mixed feelings about the last week. I went into it full of confidence and determination to succeed, which was sucked right out of me with my first 12 attempts in SnG at Poker Room. The good news is that a switch to Poker Stars and some solid reading of poker strategry restored my faith.
As a summary of the last week for a total of 25 $5.50 Sit and Goes...
1 = 0
2 = 5
3 = 4
4 = 5
5 = 3
6 = 4
7 = 0
8 = 0
9 = 2
10 = 2
In the money 36% of the time. Still looking for my first win which I hope is not to far away, I'll be sure to post a lovely pic of the moment for you all to share. The bad news is that I have moved away from my goal of $500 profit for the month of December, sitting at a loss of $31.50. All bad?...not quite, as since my swtich to Poker Stars and actually concentrating on the game I am up a handy $9.50, with a recent run of 4ths and 5ths taking $20 odd from that.
If we just look at my Poker Stars results as a summary for 13 $5.50 Sit and Goes...
1 = 0
2 = 4
3= 3
4 = 3
5 = 2
6 = 0
7= 0
8= 0
9= 1
In the money 53% of the time. While there is no win there, it at least certainly looks a lot better. Don't get me wrong I think that Poker Room is a great site, there is nothing sus going on there. I justed wanted to try a new site and see what some others have to offer. I played exlusively on Poker Room, but now I have looked at Poker Stars, Party Poker and Full Tilt Poker. I really enjoy Full Tilt Poker and will be playing there a lot more in the future.
Otherwise just a dabble in a $3.30 tourney and a $5.50 tourney is the only other action to speak of, busting out early in both.
In terms of analysing my play, I can see what a fish I am being gobbled up by the better players, especially when it comes to the final three on a SnG. I still play the top 20-30 hands only and get sucked dry by the blinds, and have to rely on a nice hand to pull me back into the contest. As you can see, no wins yet, so will need to work on this side of my game a lot. Learning more short handed approaches to the game when I manage to get into this situation will help to get more wins.
Chat soon.

No worries.. that first win will come and they will come in lots... It just hard getting over the hump. Keep at it.. it looks like you are headed in the right direction.
