Still in the damn Micros

Well been a little up and down, but I can say I’ve been putting in work. I have been grinding the $3.40, 18 man games which have terrible rake but very soft and easy fields. I am at a point that I’m really tired of the Micro’s but thankfully I have been maintaining a somewhat reasonable bankroll management. I have from time to time taken shots at the low limit games without having an adequate bankroll, but all that has done is set me back. So I am 100% determined to stay with my bankroll limits and keep up the progress. I am going to start playing some STT at the $6.50 level since I do have a roll for it and I so want to move up. Once my roll is a little healthier I will add in $6.50 18 man games also. It’s hard but I am playing good and running somewhat better, so I still have hopes on reaching my goals by the end of the year.

Time out to study

Well I had plan on playing a hundred games a day until I hit my goal. But after reviewing my hands in SNGwizard I have found that I am leaking. I decided to put more emphases on studying and steadily increasing my volume. I have been reading in various forums about the differences between +cEV and ICM and when to use the two forms of strategies. I have also found on sit and go grinders a few old videos from Rat Sauce 89 and they are gooooold! I have watched them a few time and plan to watch them until I completely understand the concepts he is teaching. I do believe I have the tools to succeed but have to completely put them together.

Still running bad but I want that 10K by Dec

Well today played 15 hours and over 194 games and I am still running bad. Had a 49 game down swing and will have to drop back down to the $1 games which I am still running ok in. It sucks, but I must maintain bankroll discipline in order to make my goal. I plan on grinding 45 man turbo’s until I get a 10K bankroll. That’s right I want to hit 10K before the year is up and I am saying this during a down swing. I will be putting major grinds trying to play at least 100 games a day and five to six days a week, which are about 2400 games a month. Of course I may play more but never less. My bankroll is good enough to play 3.25 45’s but I will still mix in and mainly play the $1.10, 45’s until I get too 200 buy in’s for the $3.25 then I will cut the $1.10 45’s out. Well good luck me tomorrow.

Not starting off good in Sept

Today I woke up in a good mood feeling really good after having a few good sessions. Today was the first day I did not grind any $1.10, 45 man turbo’s moving up to play $3.25 games. I wanted to start of slow so I did not load my usual 20 games I just loaded 10 and kept it at 10 games the whole session. If I bust one load another and so on and so on. I ended up playing a total of 61 games but lost 29 buy in’s. I am a bankroll nit so I still have around 160 buy in’s left but it still sucked today. I ran into so many monsters when shoving in late position in the final two tables of the tournaments and the hands I should of hulk smashed I lost to some random turn or river. I do know there is slightly more reg’s in these but still feel I can do well, if I don’t let sessions like this get to me.
I am trying to be patient since I owe some folks money and want to pay them off as soon as I grind it up. I don’t like owing people in the poker community money and intend to pay back every penny ASAP.
