Just thought I'd put a little post together, mainly to brag about yesterday. I seemed to have one of those days where most of my decisions were the correct ones. I called in the right places and folded in the right places. I played in 7 SnG's and came either 1st or second in all of them.
I also accidently registered for an Omaha H/L SnG which I came 6th in, which considering I barely know how to play the game wasn't too bad.
I then entered myslef into a $4 + $0.4 SnG MTT with a total of 180 players. I got a nice double up early on when a guy's straight ran into my quads (he'd been calling bets at the wrong odds to make the straight in the first place). I picked up a few other nice pots here and there along the way, and again seemed to be making correct decisions.
I managed to finish 3rd with a payout of $85, which is by far the biggest amount I have won so far

Congrats mate!
I went into virgin territory yesterday and played some SnGs. Managed to get 3rd and 4th. Starting to get used to them  I also find the grind isn't as evident as a cash game because the tournament style is more fun and gratifying. I'm pumped for a few more tonight but don't think I’ll step up to the MTT ones for a while.

Thanks
I play more SnG's than anything else, it seems to suit my play a bit better. I occasionally play the odd MTT for a laugh though

Well done. I started out with SNGs actually, they are a good BR builder.
