Update: Short vacation arrived just before I completed my post. Will follow shortly!
I've been playing $7 6-max SNGs for a while and studying a bit of ICM. Really been enjoying getting to grips with a format I have limited knowledge of, and I'm surprised at how much I've been keen to play - reminds me of the mid 'noughties' again.
My decision to choose the 6-max format comes from the ICM being about as easy as it comes outside of straight-forward chip equity. Coming from a cash game background I though it would be beneficial to start out simple and learn to play short-handed thoroughly before progressing to larger tournaments.
Anyway, to the point. I will shortly post my most recent 50 6-max SNG results and pick out a few hands and do a little stat analysis. I would like to improve the content of my blog, so I hope it will be interesting.
My initial goal in playing SNGs was to convert my pool of tournament $ into cash so that I have a decent bankroll to hit the Zoom tables again. However despite the hourly being lower, I've been enjoying the tournaments so much I am planning to continue after my tournament $s are gone. If I can play reasonably and get together a decent sample size perhaps I'll be able to add another game to the 'can beat' list.
Next post to follow over the weekend!

Welcome
Hello all, welcome to my online poker blog.
I've been playing on and off for a decade after being introduced by a friend.
I played regularly for a few years during the poker boom and had a decent record at the micros, particularly Rush and Zoom No Limit Hold'em games (here's one of my graphs).
Around 2012 I began a new career which involved immersing myself completely in study in my spare time, so I had little to no time for poker. However recently this burden has eased and so I have been gradually dipping back in.
I'm an amateur player who still hopes to some day beat the rake.
