I started the $300 challenge last night, and I didn’t do all that badly.
I only had time to play for an hour or so, so I played in 5 Turbo $6.50 Sit-N-Go’s on Poker Stars. I finished 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 4th, and 7th, cashing three times for a grand total of +$26.90 for the night.
I’m going to stay at the $6.50 level, keeping within the Chris Ferguson money management parameters (no more than 5% of your bankroll on any one single table sit-n-go). If I break $400, I may move up to the $16.00 Turbos, maybe $450.
So not a bad start, I’m realistic, I realize not every night won’t be a night in the postive column, but it’s nice to get out of the gate with a lead.
Note: you can see the progress in the sidebar to the right, also I won’t be creating a post for the blog after every single session, usually just as an update every once in awhile, or unless something interesting or unusual happens.

Why Turbos instead of normal?
Well correct Sit-N-Go strategy is to basically fold fold fold fold until the blinds get to less than 10X your stack. So unless you ge a monster, like AA or KK, or you big blind into something huge, you don’t want to mix it up early.
The turbos hasten the arrival of the real game, which is Push/Fold at around 9-10X Big Blinds, that’s where the skill comes in, in knowing when and what, to push.
Also… Turbos by their nature are quicker, which means you can get more tournaments in per hour. So if you have a positive ROI of say 5%, thats more money per hour.
