I finally managed to win a $10 SNG on the fifth attempt. This was going to be my last attempt before dropping back to $5.
Of course I needed a bit of luck:
Level: t150/t300
5 players
Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is BB with 9♥ A♥
UTG folds, CO raises to 300, (This guy was minraising on nearly every hand, so I did not take this seriously)
Button folds,
SB raises all-in t320, (who cares)
Hero raises all-in t1970, (attempt to isolate all-in player)
CO calls. (oops...)
Flop: A♦ 4♥ (what a lovely ace)
Turn: 3♦
River: 4♣
Results:
Rob1606 collected t1185.
Rob1606 collected t3450.
Anticap leaves
This has pushed my total net winnings over $300 for the first time. I made a profit of $263 since one month ago (when I bought the Harrington books).
PS June 13th: Anticap is on "Super Tilt" according to Sharkscope. Total losses $775, ROI -5%...

Well, don't know about your luck remark. I guess 77 scores a little better than A9, but you had position. So all-in-all I think you made the right call... although the all-in call was maybe a little to risky. What says Harrington about this?
Another remark about your $10 tournaments. You now break even playing $10 SNG's..... you think. Of course you only played a few. I should be hesitant about giving up the $5 SNG's yet. The $5 SNG's could serve as a money generator for future loses in $10 SNG's

I also think that I made the right call under the circumstances, and I also believe Harrington agrees :-)
I just meant that I was lucky to win the race after I did get called - 77 is indeed a slight favorite. I think the all-in was the only option I had to possibly keep brandya from calling, he had been calling a lot.
About the $10 SNGs, I am certainly not going to play them exclusively from now on :-) In fact I already mixed in some $5 SNGs to cover the losses I was making in the $10 games. Also, I only play $10 games at Pacific because they seem to be the easiest, at Party I will stick to $5 for the moment. I also plan to try some 20- or 30-player SNGs for a $5 or $2.50 buyin, I think that is also good training for the final phase of larger tournaments.
