193 and zero and -$900 or similar for me.   Hit precisely zero last time too.  Sad

Going to win the world next week though

i played a golden HUSNG last night.

surprisingly nerve-wracking. obv you are suddenly playing effectively 4x your usual buyin, but also there is a little 'eye' icon at the table and hovering over it tells you how many observers there are at your table. it does effect your thinking, or it did mine. and a K high hero call might have looked BOSS to my railers had villain not turned over quads. auto-muck spared my blushes.  Cool

anyway my opponent was nitted up probably for similar reasons and i chiped back up, but 55 v TT at 12bb meant gg.

great excitement and a really well excecuted promo. when you reg a goledn SNG the table theme is totally different and they have a 1min wait before the game starts to allow railers in. great to get one, and not just for the $$ value.

I played a few but not found one yet, not really a sng person and the novelty of maybe getting a bonus soon wore off.  I'll be playing more of the mtts

i have played a few every time the golden sats have been on not gottena golden sng yet odds against ever getting one
i know a cpl of people that have had more than one though

dont really care if i get one or not as in the spin in go's i get royally butt plucked every time there is more than a 2x the buy in

but the standard of play during the promotion is shocking either that or i just run hot during the promos and cold the rest of the year

Have noticed  lots of new players in husngs.

A lot just open shoving too, maybe to get games over with quickly.

i always wanted a mountain top finish stage map of the tour de france as a sharkscope
been hard to play much this week as i picked up the winter vomiting bug midweek
and with all my family away spent more time cleaning and sorting out meals than i would of liked

gonna see if i can play 850 of these next week which is a 120 a day sounds alot seeing as i only managed 150 last week
but i am playing 2x 45 man turbos nlhe and 3x 6 man hyper nlo8 at a time so i would expect to be playing 20+ an hour

want to see if i can remain profitable and motivated over 1000 which i know is a small sample in the grand scheme of things
if i cant then its time to bury my head into a new hobby

No golden ones yet for me.  Think I have played nearly 1000 over the last 2 promotions and not seen one yet.  At least I was up last night on them.
