| What's up everyone So it's been about 2 months since I last posted. As I said before I moved to a really cool part of town and have been having a great time partying and enjoying my summer. One of the best summers I have had in a few years. It's been so much fun that I have barely even played the past few months. Well I just recently bought one of those sweet dell xps laptops and have been playing a few sngs here and there building up a bankroll so I can have something to play with again. Sitting with about $90 on ftp and looking to do the usual. I'll keep you all posted...
You're right Teddy, the ace didn't help.

why do you play ring games over SNG? Do you find it is easier to control variance swings that way, or simply that the games are easier to beat, or that the profit potential vs money you risk is better?
What is your opinion of the $6 buy in SNG at full tilt as opposed to, say, the 25 NL tables?
I seem to do well at the SNG but I have more fluctuation at cash games. What size tables do you play when you play, 6 or 9? How many tables do you play?
I am going to win lots of money and then spend it.

-my preference really does vary but id say overall i like playing cash games over sngs. 1. because the style of play is much different and most of the time in my opinion cash games are much more exciting and 2. i can build my roll up much quicker playing cash games versus sngs. on the flip side though, i can lose it much quicker.
its my opinion that i can control variance much more playing sngs. I am better than your avg sng player so it may be different for me. also, losing say $5 and $10 buy ins over a few hours is much better than losing say $100 in 10 minutes.
I also feel that at the lower limits both sngs and ring games are very easy to beat. skill level is very low in my opinion. remember that the average poker player is a losing poker player.

-If you are referring to the turbo sng's i really dont have much opinion because i don't play them much. The majority of the sng's i play are the standard ones. I also hate $5 sngs because it takes for ever to make any kind of profit but, when starting out with next to nothing, you just gotta deal with it. As for 25NL tables, i think they are very soft.

-you should see much more fluctuation at the cash tables. that is pretty standard. I play 6 max unless im playing way out of my limits which ill usually play 9. Depending on how im feeling, ill play 1-4 tables. just got a new laptop (thanks to ftp lol) so im still getting used to multi tabling with it.
I dont know how much you are starting out with, but from looking at your blog it doesnt look like much, which is the same with me right now and thats usually how I start out because i hate risking my own money. The way that I have been the most successful at starting with nothing (usually start with $50) is sucking it up and playing $5 sngs (at least 2 at a time with $5 sngs and some 18 man) until im at around $250 - $300, then i start playing a couple $10 sngs's depending on how im running.. i usually wont even start playing cash tables until im well over $500 - $700.. and even then i start at $25 nl. btw i cant stand $10 nl. well i hope i answered your questions, if not give me another shout and ill see what i can do. good questions btw...
