So I can post an SNG in its entirety ... If I can do it for free, lemme know .. if not, I'll e-mail the HH to someone and they can post it. PM me.

I think there are some spots that are interesting and might help people.

thanka. Apparently SNGs have died and no one wants to learn how to win one in 40 hands.

Hey Nut,

I am waiting for support to respond to me and open up my damn acount and then I can do this for you. I paid last night to get my sub back from pXf for 6 months. They got a pretty decent deal where you can get your old sub back with no $99 fee.

Awesome, thanks maf, although this was originally just for laughs ... I was close to tilt mode, so I decided to just play a $5 SNG instead .... like a maniac.

As the sng wore on, I took advantage of my image.

It was also fun to knock out 7 of 8 opponents .. some other guy got one first, then I took care of the rest. I doubt PXF adds the chat, but that was the really fun part.

Sending e-mail now maf.

Link to a turbo win in 40 hands....

(I was on tilt control ... but in review, aside from the two pushes on the first two hands, I wasn't tooo wild Wink )

I got one nice suckout when I tried to bully a guy from the SB .. but, w/e

So, can you win a low-buy-in SNG in 40 hands?

beat this.

As long as he doesn't have a high pair or a J or a 9 you are right in there. I think Gus Hansen would be proud.

OK so J9s>ATs. Seems like a suckout but you are about 40% here.
AKo v. QQ is <43%....and they call that a coin flip.

Hey, you won the flip and showed the power of being suited. Wink

Nice one! Someone should have called your AA out of frustation...that was perfect timing!

Especially since I showed the first hand, and told them in chat the next one would be worse (Hand 2) ... and was, which I showed as well.

Then I told them limp/call would be a good move and then no AA takers ...

I've knocked out 7 out of 8 players before to win, but I don't think it was as quick as 40 hands (I seem to remember a bit of a HU tussle), but I'll try and find it.

Would be fun to see if anyone has knocked out all 8 opponents in a SNG.

The replayer doesn't show it, but the chat was quite funny. At one stage, Nutjob put a bounty on his own head and offered to pay $10 to anyone who knocked him out (it was only a $6 SNG Very Happy ).

NutJobXXX said, "I'm now offering a $10 bounty on me .. I'm really serious"
NutJobXXX said, "I will transfer $10 to whomever busts me"
NutJobXXX said, "scout's honor and stuff"
NutJobXXX said, "hopefully I finish at least second for -$.30"

OMG, I totally forgot about that. That was easily the best part.

And I was entirely serious ... ah, the powers of alcohol.

I seem to remember Horseracing bragging about that feat once.
