So, how am I doing on my goal to win $177 dollars at SNGs before the end of year?

Since my previous post, I've played 19 $3.40 regular Sit'n'Gos with a ROI of 17% - winning a grand total of $11. So only $166 to go!

Looking back at the results, I'm quite happy with the results. I definitely need to improve my Heads Up play though as I've not managed to win one of those 19. 

I played the BritBloggerment on Sunday and finished in 6th. Very disappointing as I'd played well and was unlucky to go out when I did. The blinds were getting high and I doubled up when I pushed QJs and help up against Clouds pair of 7s. At this point we'd played around 150 hands and I had not many premium hands. I remember thinking that I'm due to get Aces soon. Then, lo and behold, a couple of hands later, when I'm in the small blinds, the aces arrive. It's folded to me and I'm against a large stack in the BB. My stack was too big to push, so I made a standard raise and hoped the BB would react. The BB makes my day by pushing and naturally I call. He turns over Kings. I mean could it get any better? Unfortunately, it didn't. A King appeared on the flop and despite turning a flush draw, I missed and was out. I took it well though!

I'm still running at 15% ROI in the BritBloggerment so I can't really complain.
