Suz don't be too disheartened - ask any of the regular decent sit n go players on here - 8 blanks is standard stuff and doesn't mean you're not playing well - please don't give up - take on board what you've learnt over the past few games and take it forward.  I can't speak for the stakers, but I'm sure they'd rather you used any money you wanted to repay them to play a few more sit n goes instead.  If you need backing for another few games I'll happily chip in.

+1

Don't send stakers back any money either Suz. Everyone who stakes is well aware of the variance in this game and no-one has put up an amount of money that's gonna hurt them. If you plan on shipping back to stakers when you lose then you're putting yourself at a hiding to nothing from the beginning.

No-one has either a positive or a negative expectation of you with 10 buy ins (nor would they from Longy, Atkin, Tank etc...) but it sounds like you're feeling the pressure of being staked which is the opposite of what it should be. See this as an experiment and a chance to learn, forget the results. T

Anyway, don't know if anyone has looked through your hand histories but I'm more than happy to go through them so send them over if you like.

And if you're accepting any more stakes for some games let me know, happily ship some $$



Yeah send me your stars or tilt name and I'll send some $$ too.

Suz,

I agree with what everyone is saying.

I'm all ready to doubledown for you to go again if you are up for it.

You proved on the weekend that you can play.  Single tables do require a different strategy though, and there are some brilliant players on here who can offer advice.

Unfortuantely, none of them have offered, so I'd get The Clown to do it instead.   thumbs up

Just a thought, but wouldn't 180's be better for Suzanne's game? STTs are a hell of a lot different than MTTs, and I've always thought that Suz was an MTT player.

I watched a video from a guy name Lipofund on 2+2 who crushes the online pokers and he said that the 9mans are pretty much dead and it's tough to beat the rake now.Also as said due to sample size this doesn't tell you anything about whether you can beat the game or not.If you want to have a proper go at it you need to have confidence in your own ability and need to be able to take the swings,I've had a run of 40 games without one cash and been breakeven over 500 games,Longy who crushes the 45mans had 1k games breakeven stretch, you need to put the volume in before you can see whether you can beat the game or not.It's very cliche but anyone can have a sick good/bad run short term but over a long period of time you'll see who the winning players are and who aren't.If you were to have a go at the 45mans I'm no expert but would be happy to spend and hour or so going through some hand history's.GLGL with whatever you choose.

Up the stake to $12 each. Play twice as many $6, 45 man sngs.

There is a very real risk of no return on a 20 game bash at these comps but at least you'll improve your game a bit more and if you bink you get a nice return.

Stt's are nothing like mtts. 45's aren't really but at least they're a little bit closer.

If you want to improve your poker you won't do it playing stt's. Long term you're just giving money away to anyone with good knowledge of ICM.

hey Suze, Listen to what yr stakers are saying. Dont throw the towel in just yet. send off yr hand histories and get the feedback,once you have the feedback then jot down some bullet points that you can go over before you play next.

Also dont be put off if there are any rough/negative comments, as i think you sometimes lose some of the irony on posts when they are typed rather than spoken,just ignore and move on its yr backers that count not the whackers..

I reckon you can turn this around quite quickly so GOGOGOGO
