| Secret's of sit n go's
So I just ordered this book by Phil Shaw, it described on some areas I want to look/work/refresh at, anybody read this book before and how was it?
Did it help you for heads up?

Why wouldn't you just join a coaching site? So much better for online games.

I have been thinking of that also, but I don't think any of them are doing so well since black Friday, go read 2p2 and see the blue fire fiasco going on right now.

I read it and it helped my significantly when I was playing SNGs. In the poker static interview for bluefire I said I read a book that talked about making 100k per year at SNGs and caused me to switch to 9-mans and go from ~1k to >5k for the first time. This was the book. Took me 2 years to make the100k tho :P

HAHA, I hoped I would have got it today, but no luck  , it is on route so hopefully tomorrow! On a separate note I upgraded my phone to a smart phone so I can do all my internet stuff during the day instead of evening to hopefully open up time for me to play more.

That book is next to my computer, almost my SnG bible. Really helped my game. Did a lot better on FTP SnG's. Gotta keep reminding myself to open my range quicker on stars due to the faster blind structure and antes.....

Too bad it can't help you overcome badluck/curse.
I know what blondefish is talking about having a worst month ever.

Just ordered Colin Moshman's Book (Expert Strategies for SnG's I believe is the title). I'll let you know what I think when I get it. I've "heard" its better than Phil Shaw's, but so far Shaw's is the best SnG book I've read.
Haven't read is non-standard SnG book yet though.....

As for the phone part, still waiting for it to come, terrible service and I am going to lose it on em tomorrow night if I don't get it tomorrow, as for the bankroll part no vacation payout on this pay , one guy says next pay so hopefully! As for adding to the bankroll to play the next level I may be able to add to current bankroll, won't be at 100 buy in's more like around 50 buy in's so will have to see I guess.
Other option is to have another bankroll on another site so I Have 2 sites to play on if one is not going well. ( Hurry up regulated ftp2!)
Will see what happens and how it goes!, Oh ya rereading sng book's too.
