Oh Dear!
Hit a barrier last night for some reason. Played quite a few $20 SNGs. Really wasn’t getting anywhere with them and losing a little ground. Became frustrated at the end of the session and down a little $$$$. But I really didn’t want to stop playing. Concerned about the bleeding. Solution – Drop down to the $10 SNGs for my last two tables of the night.
Holy freakin crap. I was in shock. I kept thinking this can’t be happening. It was like a freakin free roll or a play money game. Everyone was betting like they had the nuts. 3rd hand, some lady first in from EP raises 5X. LP goes all in. We all know what that means. She apparently did not. She called his AA with K 7 off. He flopped trip rockets and she got pooft. I thought, Okay she may have been on tilt or misclicked. No No No. First ten hands, there were probably seven all- ins. Sometimes three and four way. All with mostly crap hands. To tell the truth, I sat in the corner cowaring and folding like a little girl ( no offense ladies). My other table was a little better but not by much.
I folded ALL my crap and picked a few spots to stay in it. About 20 hands in, we burst the bubble. 20 HANDS and the BB is still 30. I was short stacked and started the shoving routine. It worked for a very short time and I crapped out third. Came in first on the second table. It was actually kinda fun. I knew what to do. I might try a few more now and then. Sure got the blood pumping.
At one point, I typed in the chat, “This entire SNG has been very disturbing” and ” I think I will need therapy after this” To which I got a few LOL and agrees.
I had fun. And that’s good.
Done Rambling, GL at the tables.

It’s amazing how going from one level to another completely changes the game isn’t it? VERY important to remember that when going up and ESPECIALLY down. In my experience when I move up a level the play is MUCH better than at the previous level. You may find some mavericks here and there but generally speaking the higher you go the more “normal” the play is.
