1. Get money in ahead.
  2. Lose.
  3. Repeat.

That’s basically how I’ve either been crippled or bombed out of my last 5 or so SNG’s. Some examples:

vs – All in preflop, he turns a straight and I’m crippled.

vs – Flopped set and end up all-in vs a gut shot straight draw that gets there.

vs – Flopped trips, opponent turns the straight.

and the old hand that I told you about before.

Don’t worry, despite the past couple of posts I’m not going to start turning this blog into a “bad beat” whinge fest. I don’t even really like the term bad beat for most of these examples. It’s just getting frustrating when I’m trying to build my bankroll back up and I get my money in ahead only to be repeatedly screwed by lady luck.

I know it will turn around.

Hopefully the formula from here on out can be:

  1. Get money in ahead.
  2. Win.

At least sometimes?
