LOL Fulltiltaments

Ok so it's like 10am i seriously needed to play some poker and was kinda aprehensive about playing because i had lost like 5BI's yesterday and i wasn't sure how i would react.

Here's the first hand from my first game of the day. I think it just confirms that there are always bad opponents to be found who literally just donate and splash. It's not spectacubad but it certaintly demonstrates my point.

Also, i'm gonna write a series of articles on moving through the micro SNG limits and post like one article every week on here. I'm gonna post for ideas on 2+2 but feel free to post comments/ideas for the series on here as well :)

It will literally be aimed at people playing $2 HU SNG's and will hopefully equip these/you guys with the tools to play $5-$10 and eventually $20 SNGs. Just a rough idea of topic areas i suppose would include pre-flop starting hands, bet sizing, bankroll management, tilt management, c-betting, check-raising spots, effective stacks and the implications on your decision. Stuff like that.

I'm no expert by any means but i just think it would be cool to write 5-10 articles on the basic concepts that you would need to understand to grind out a winning HU SNG style at micro stakes. There is no "system" it's just about understanding. So if you understand these things then you should be able to beat these games pretty easy and for a decent profit provided you play high volume.
