New Focus: Turbo Donk n' Go's

Since starting work, it has gotten hard to get in a tournament schedule. And having to get up every morning, going deep will just drain me the next day. Over the past week, i have been CRUSHING the turbo sng's, the $3.40 ones specifically. I feel comfortable 9 or even 12 tabling these. Very low variance, and basically free money if you know your ICM calculations. So my plan is to build up a roll from these, and when I have time, use that roll to hit that big score in a MTT which i am SO due for. I don't see myself playing the 4.40s any time soon unless another monthly contest occurs. In the next few days, I will come up with some sort of challenge for myself to build a roll for Turning Stone next month. There are 19 days before we plan on leaving (potentially). It will be something like a $300 or $400 challenge.

Aside from poker, at the beginning of September, my roommate kaan and i will be moving into a brand new apartment downtown. I will post pictures once we move it, the place is BALLIN'. I'll crunch some numbers tomorrow and figure out a challenge i am comfortable with.

zomg an update! You should go into limit hold 'em, we need a limit player to complete our crew.

I played the 9-man sngs for a while before switching to HU. My opinion for what it's worth: 9-man sng's are easily beatable up to the $30 level, but there's nowhere to go after that. I did those for a while and once I started scoping the 50's and 100's it's like all profitable players there, and even if you're awesome it's a very small edge. I think full-ring (or 6-handed) limit, NL, and HU sngs are the games with the most room to expand and most profitable. I'd bet if there was a site that kept track of cashgame winnings, you'd see your average decent 15/30 limit player destroying the leaderboard at sharkscope.
