SNG Grind

Since I've been back I've been playing the $109 and $215 shorthanded SNGs at CelebPoker with pretty decent success. It all started off really well as I made a few thousand right off the bat. Then I took a beating a couple days ago, only to recover the next day with another nice upswing. However, variance once again got the best of me yesterday when I managed to drop well over a grand into my opponent's accounts. I'll get it back (with interest) sooner or later.

As far as live poker goes, Sutti and I have booked our flights to Vienna for the Spring Festival at CCC. We're flying down on the 1st of March through the 11th. If you look at the schedule, you may notice that the tournaments don't begin until the 7th. The reason why we're going to be there before the tournament week begins is to take advantage of the "regular" games at CCC. The games seem to tighten up considerably during tournament weeks (most notably with tight Polish and Hungarian players), so this time we're going to try and beat the system by hitting up the loose games before everyone and their mother does.

In particular, I have my eye set on the €100+rebuys tournament on the 9th as well as the €500+1 rebuy tournament on the 10th. Both are NL Hold'em, which happens to be my specialty and coincidentally the only game I even know how to play, I shouldn't kid myself :)
