I would say today was a subpar day... If it wasnt for my good headsup results I would be down a lot today. The first SNG I played I lost like a noob... betting it all away. I figured the opponent wouldn't risk losing all his chips early, but I gave him too much credit. Betting all in on the river after two cold calls on the flop and turn usually result in call more often then a fold, and that means I will go broke. This is a good lesson to be learned, I will try to avoid doing that in the future.
HeadsUp Lesson: I think I improved on my headsup play after one day of losing (1-2), the key is to play agressive with position and be careful without position. I still get a little nervous each headsup I play though, because I am not used to it. Hopefully I can keep it up.
Tomorrow I get back at one, i will try to play from 1 to 4 and some after dinner. If tomorrow is a positive day I intend to cash out 50 dollars tomorrow.
