SnG Challenge - 80% update 24.8% ROI $109 profit

[AJ]

Decided as it's a new year, I'd start a little project for myself. I intend to play 50 $10 + 1 SnGs on pokerstars with the aim of proving to myself that these games are beatable, and a consistant profit can be made from them, I've been reading harrington recently, and I think I've final mastered inflection points. Going to devote about 1 hour a day to this, playing no more than 2 at a time. Should take about a month. I'll post results and interesting hands for feedback, and we'll see where we get to. I'm starting this with a $300 bankroll, so I need to get some wins to complete it

Re: SnG Challenge Just finished my first game, in 2nd place, decent enough start, but again I fail to win heads up it's a weakness I must work on. Rather liked my play on this hand, my little min bet on the flop after I'd hit, sucked him into pot
