Played a quick 30 sngs tonight and made $114. No luck really putting up a good score on the leaderboard and I really dont ever see myself winning the "low" one unless I catch a sick heater. Tomorrow will be a much bigger grind, hopefully 80-100 sngs.

Well I've played just under 300 sngs this week, ~200 at the $16 level and ~100 at the $27 level and I'm only showing $244 profit :(
Its been a really long grind this week and I still havent really turned it around fully. However I think the really bad stuff is behind me. There is good news though today that the SNG leaderboard has officially been released and will start on Sunday. I have a few observations/questions that I will share, most of which should be answered within the first 2 months of it.

1. Will this attract a lot of people to sngs, and if so will it attract a lot more to 18 mans because it looks like you get more points winning them, even though we all know winning an 18 man is harder than a 9 man.

2. Will many grinders win the low "orbit" leaderboard? It takes 20 game blocks and it seems like it will more award anyone who just catches a heater. Which is fine by me because we will all catch fire once in a while. Obviously I'm willing to believe grinders will win the high leaderboards more often just because recreational players wont play 100 sngs a week.

3. Will people spread out the stakes they play just to attempt to be on 3 leaderboards, or is it not worth it to drop stakes. I know my normal schedule will have me playing on 2 different leaderboards.

4. Final question, how often can a solid winning player expect to be in the top 10 on any leaderboard?

Anyways its an exciting promotion with solid payouts. I know that it will reward people who run hot for a week but frankly I know eventually I will have to profit a tiny amount from this at least, which makes this +ev in my book.

Well I broke my play up into 2 sessions, mainly for the fact that if I play more than 60 sngs in 1 sitting I go nuts.

Session #1: $491 profit from 55 sngs

Session #2: -$192 from 35 sngs

Basically I ran well first session, and got crushed on the 2nd one until I got a little heater to win back like $300. I'm happy with how I played and I'm also happy with a day of 90 sngs. Nothing too crazy happened other than me being called a donk or luckbox a bunch of times. Pretty standard though.

Tomorrow I'm very excited, I'm finally getting to golf again. I just recently over the past 2 years really got into golf which is surprisingly big here in Michigan. The weather is finally starting to cooperate and I'm going to go play 9 holes(18 if I actually play well which is doubtful glgl me).

Other than that I'm focused on getting another good day of volume in. Really when playing sngs, all you can do is just keep trying to get the right amount of games in everyday and just let everything work itself out. It was a really frustrating start to the year which really took me out of my rhythm but now I'm back and ready to roll.
