SNG Challenge
Back in 2005 I put together a SNG Challenge and I thought I would post it here in case anyone needed some motivation to play poker. Never hurts to set some goals, even if they are just short term goals to meet a challenge. The graph is titled the 6-Max SNG Challenge because I typically play that format, but honestly this will work with 9 or 10 player tables as well.
Bottomline is you start with $5 +.50 SNG’s with a $55 bankroll and go up or down as the guide prescribes below. For instance, if you hit $110 in bankroll then go up to the $10 + $1 SNG’s. If you catch a bad run and fall back down to a $55 bankroll then step back to the $5 SNG’s.
So there you have it. The good part of this challenge is you can only lose $55, so not much downside in the end. The bad is the grid doesn’t leave much room for downswings, thus if you hit a bad run you will probably have to go down in levels as a safety net. That’s what the guide is for though…to let you know when to make a change up or down.
By the way, disregard the last 4 columns. Those were my numbers from an old challenge. You only need to look at the first 4 columns that are detailed under the 6-Max SNG Challenge section.
Good luck!
