I was beginning to think I'd never win anything, but I did place 1st in a $60 45-seat SNG MTT on pokerstars today. Not exactly a bonanza ($767) but makes my online tournament position look a bit better. As far as the action went, I won a couple of races, and had a couple of big hands stand up in multi-way pots and avoided being unlucky. It was pretty straightforward in fact.
I like these 45-seat SNGs. They fill up very quickly (within a few minutes) and they don't take long to play (I have not timed them but it feels like only about 45mins). The only problem, I suspect, is that the standard is very high so it may be tough to beat them long-term.
Unfortunately, the live cash games have been a big hole so far. I need to fix that, most especially because I like playing live and I don't want it to be a constant losing proposition.
The main features so far have been that I lose the lot suddenly in one or two big hands. Some (not all) of those actual situations have been a bit unlucky at the individual hand level but the real underlying story is probably simpler - not playing tight enough pre-flop. The one piece of good news there (I think) is that I'm aware of the error. What is going to be more problematic is if I am unable to fix it, or if fixing it doesn't lead to better results.
