March 19th - Home game Sit and Go.

Monthly goal: $11.000
I am at $2.440
Change: $1.259

Another day and another long session. Again I think I played a solid game that should be able to beat my current limits out of a healthy hourly rate, even though yesterdays game wasn't quite on par with my game on Friday and Saturday.

Yesterdays session again featured some bad beats and cold decks, but I played a decent game and the competition mostly didn't so I ended up a bit more than a buy in anyway.

AQs in the Small Blind: I thought he would call a push on the river if a hearth fell and I was pretty sure my Queen was live as well. I guess I would have gone bust if an Ace would have fallen, but I figured it was an affordable risk if he indeed had AJ.

My friends and I played a live Sit and Go this weekend, where we tried out a couple of new blind structures. The final hand of the evening was the hand featured above. I was the lucky one with T6s and Jogvan came in second with his lesser straight flush.

For those interested here is the tourney structure we ended up with:

Starting chips: 5000. (8 x 25 - 8 x 100 - 8 x 500)

Blind levels, 6 handed:

25/50 - 20 minutes.
50/100 - 20 minutes.
100/200 - 20 minutes.
150/300 - 15 minutes.
250/500 - 15 minutes.
350/700 - 15 minutes.
500/1000 - 10 minutes.
700/1400 - 10 minutes.
1000/2000 - The end.

The plan is to get plenty of play for everyone for at least one hour and still keep the complete game time down to 2 hours or so.
The system isn't perfect yet and I am unsure what to change if we play 10 handed but I think this is a good structure to work from.

If anyone has some good ideas, feel free to comment. Input is always much appreciated :)
