Update from work...

I'm doing this from my cell phone at work, so forgive any typos, formatting errors, etc. that you may come across.

So I played about 160 180-mans for a profit of $530, which is an ROI of about 75 percent... not great by any means, but then again it was a pretty small sample size. I've decided, once again, to change it up a bit. The 180s just seem to take up my whole night because they last so long and take so long to fill. I looked into the double-or-nothing sngs on stars and decided to give those a try. For one, I can get in a pretty good volume of those. Also, the variance is pretty low, which is good for me since I can't affordto go totally broke on stars right now. If you're not familiar with them, they work like this.... its a 10-man sng that pays the top 5 finishers equally.. so in a $10 buyin, top 5 get $20. Its pretty simple. The rake for the turbos isn't horrible... there are $10+.40s, which I play, $20+.80s, and so on. I think grinding these by playing about 240 or 250 a week could be a good bankroll boost. I started last night and went 34-26 for a profit of $56. I've heard 10 to 15 percent ROI may be sustainable, so hopefully I can run good. It took me a little to get used to them. I found that for me, 20 tables is too much, so I'll stick to 15 tabling. The strategy is just so different in these vs regular sngs.

On another note, Auburn and our struggling offense visits West Virginia this week for the ESPN thurs night game. I'm excited to watch it.... I don't really remember the last time we played on a thursday. I think its the first ever meeting between the two teams. Hopefully we can pull it off.... WAR EAGLE!!!
