Bad poker habit number 4: Showing your hands to your opponents
I see this again and again both in small stakes SNG’s and on the World Poker Tour. People show both their good hands and their bluffing hands when they have made a bet and everyone else folds.

Brief update about my SNG project. I have now played 56 SNG, which is still far to few to predict whether I am a winning player on the limit I am playing at. I am up 5$ since my last update a week ago, played 20 SNGs. That is not very satisfying, but it also becomes more and more clear that the rake is "eating" up the profit.
Statistics are now:
Stats so far:
SNG Played: 56
Rake: $36
In the money: 38 times. 67.8%.
Net profit: $49

I haven't been playing as much as I hoped the previous week for several reasons. The Internet was down one of the days because the town I live in on Malta, Sliema, had an electicity break down. So no Internet for half a day. I also hit a bad run of losses. For me that is three SNG lost in a row (remember that 50% of the participants recieve a prize in the SNGs I play).
My personal rule is that I stop playing if I hit such a bad run. I know three in a row is not much, but from experience I know

The skill – persistence – will be the next one to describe in the series of Bankroll Management skills . First a short definition of persistence:
… ability to maintain action towards the goal of a project regardless of your current feelings toward the project. The ability to press on even if you fell like quitting…
When done by the book, building a bankroll through bankroll management is a slow process. In addition it may seem boring at times, since you will always be accustomed to

Sit and go poker bankroll project, #3
This is the third update on my sit and go project. I have now doubled my stack, started with $60 and my balance at Inter Poker is now $123.
But rake does lower the profit significantly. I have payed $19 in rake so far. So if I was signed up for a rakeback deal I would have received 30% back.
I am still playing the 50% double up sit and go, as mentioned in the previous updates. It does give the game a different element than normal sit and go´s. People

I have made a decisive decision for my person bankroll building project. In order to reach my 200$ poker bankroll goal I am going to make a radical change in my general poker strategy. I will start using a short stack strategy from now on.
My short stack strategy is a modification of the famous Ed Millers short stack strategy. Basically the Ed Millers short stack strategy is based on the fact that short stack players have an advantage compared

Follow up on the SNG Bankroll Building Project.
I am still playing the 50% double up SNG at Inter Poker, where half of the contenders double up on the buy in. But because of a software update the lobby currency is now only UK Sterling. So the table is now £5+£0.5 which is approximately $10. Very high buy ins compared to my very low bankroll.
But it seems like it's the poker gods intention that I should have a go at the higher table. And don´t ever go against the poker gods!
This is of
