I'm playing quie a few $3.30 SNGs now, and it's going OK. There is a small but noticeable increase in player skill levels compared to $1.65, so I have to make sure that there aren't a lot of distractions when I'm multitabling them, especially since I'm not that good a multitabler yet.
Today I was playing two $3.30 SNGs when the construction noise got pretty obnoxious. I live less then 100 feet from a major road that is being resurfaced. Old pipes are being replaced as well. I usually leave the front door open so that the cats can look outside and catch a breeze. But I had to close the door when I was down to 4 players at each table.
The strategy adjustment has to do with playing MTTs. I need to stop for a while.
I've been playing an MTT every few days so that I can work on the things that I'm learning. If I don't cash in any $5.50 MTTs over a week or so, my bankroll drops down, and I have to work it back up playing only SNGs. I'm still right around my $165 bankroll requirement (50 buy-ins) for $3.30 SNGs, My current bankroll is $162.55.
I've decided that I need to build my bankroll up a little more before I consider mixing in some MTTs. I need to practice all of the things that I'm learning from my studying and reading, and many of the new (to me) concepts don't apply to SNGs. That's a big deal, but proper bankroll management is an even bigger deal.
I'm done with MTTs until I get my bankroll over $200. Americans Cardroom should have their new tournament schedule posted soon. Then I can take another look at the management of my playing time.
