750 SNG Month Begins


Out with the old, in with the new.  It was a fun gathering in OKC for our new years celebration.  One of my poker friends from Ohio called me before midnight and talked to me for a while.  His phone has been shut off for a couple months now and I was worried as to what might have happened.  He had good reason for shutting off his phone.  It was great to hear from him.

The party broke up shortly before midnight, but I had paced myself for a long evening.  Since there were only a few of us left, we loaded up and went to the casino.  We were all doing pretty lousy, I was about break even playing slots, so I guess I was doing o.k, when we decided to leave.  I told them I wanted to try the Family Guy slot out before we left.  One of the other guys sat down with me.  He had 5.00 left and max bet.  He hit the bonus on the first spin and proceeded to win over 400.00!  Crazy.  I played until I hit the bonus.  It wasn't much and left me down 45.00 for the night.  Oh well, we had a lot of fun for 45.00.

We stuck around yesterday to have supper.  A snow storm was moving in and by the time we left, it was inevitable that part of our trip was going to be driving through blowing snow.  About half way home we hit the storm.  It wasn't as bad as I had imagined and the wind kept the highways fairly clean.  It took us a little longer to get home, but it was not majorly stressful.

To reach my goal of 750 SNG's this month, I figured that I would need to put in about 25 SNG's per day.  Since we got home late last night, I logged on and nobody was registering for the 1.10 SNG's.  I played for an hour and got in 11 SNG's for a 2.20 profit.  That's not a bad start, but I will need to make up some ground already. 

I also saw that Carbon changed their SNG promotion this month.  Every time I get to where I may profit from a promotion they change it.  It's really PEEVING ME OFF!  There may be a chance that I get a little something from the promotion they have, but I'm not sure I will be putting in enough volume now.  Instead of paying out the top 20, they will be paying out the top 5.  They did break it out a little further with 1.10's having their own category and 2.20's having their own category etc.  With the volume I will be playing I should have an extra 10.00 in VIP's by the end of the month.  My goal is to make a profit so anything helps.

For the next few days, I plan on putting in some mad volume to get ahead of the game.  There will be a lot of nights I will not be able to play much due to basketball games, practice, live games, travel and whatever else comes up.  When I do have time I will need to take advantage of it.

Before the new year came, I put in a few evening of playing between 25 and 45 games.  A couple of those sessions turned out really well, and all of them were profitable.  If I continue to have sessions like those I should have a profit at the end of the month.
