I have been doing very well in the 3.40s. I have been getting creamed in the 6.50s on ftp.
yesterday i played 3 6.50s, lost when i was a big favorite, ran kk into AA and managed to eek a third on the last one. I have never been so happy just to cash in a sng. I guess thats the way things go sometimes. I know i can't run that bad for long.
Its odd that i am running bad on ftp and great on stars. thats never really happened before. regardless i am going to stick to the 3.40s on stars for now. I am around 164 dollars i think. Thats nice because i am not that far from the 6.50s!!!!!!!!!

:-) then :-(
I finally got done with the day job, mowing a yard, and eating supper and could gamble. So i loaded up six 3.40s and placed 2 in almost all of them. I almost went nuts trying to keep up with all the tables! i really really don't need to be 6 tabling right now and it showed today.
Never the less i was creamed by the deck and raked in some cash. So now sharkscope says the 5+ tabling 3.40s has a 36% roi, 61 dollars made. I know that roi is unattainable, but its nice to run good when you start something new.
I was tired after the set of sngs, and took a break. Came back and loaded three 6.50s on Full Tilt. I have been sending money to Jester_cky, and i don't want my funds to get too low. Playing on a short bankroll for me is disaster waiting to happen.
Well i have run like poop sickle. Bad beat and coolered out of 5 so far and i am not looking too impressive in the 6th and final sng. Sucks, because i didn't get anything going in any of them. Then just when i think i am about to get some chips i end up against a monster, or i lose.
But i am taking it fine. at the most i am going to be down around 19 dollars total for the day, and if i luck box my way to a win i will make a small profit. (currently sitting with 1k in chips at 160bb) I understand the variance in these things can be brutal at times. The only major worry is down swinging to under 30 buy ins. (Update: Just doubled up, then i pushed from the sb at bb t200 k5<88 so i am back to around 1k) I really hate playing with less than 30 buy ins but if worst comes to worst i will drop down to the 2.25s when i am left with 30 buy ins for them.
Not having antes is pretty nice when you are on the short stack. (out of 6th sng on full tilt k4 is no match for A-10)
So the plan for tomorrow is to play more 3.40s on stars and 6.50s on Full Tilt. I really want to move up to the 6.50s on stars quick because the rake at the 3.40s is horrid. I am only 50 or so dollars away from reaching the magical 195 mark. I will play on stars while at home on the 15 inch monitor then when i get into town i will attempt to recover some of todays 39 dollar downswing on full tilt. Just load up three, and win 2 of them and i am back to normal :-)

6 tabling results
Since 6 tabling i have put in 42 games at the 3.40 level on Stars with a ROI of 16% aaaand 22 american dollars made.
I am not sure how to explain how i have been running, but its been wierd. Super unlucky mixed with crazy spots where i get lucky. I was bad beat/coolered out of 4 sngs early and placed second in one, and the last one went from 170 chips on the bubble to win the thing.
I know this is a small sample, but i think i can maintain a 15-20% ROI 6 tabling.
God bless,

off tilt and 6 tabling!!! :-)
After yesterdays meltdown i decided to play the 3.40s for a while. This will take a lot of the sting out of losses, and actually its going to be hard for me to lose at the 3.40s.
Also something that is new is playing with the tables cascaded. I have been active on 2+2 and read where switching to cascade would help you play more tables. After reading this yesterday i loaded up 4 tables on my home computer (15 inch screen with 1024X768 res) and was bored to tears! I had tons of time in between action, and could hardly pay attention. I found it kind of hard to follow the action, but that really isn't a huge issue when playing micro limit sngs. Everything is pretty cut and dry, so you can go on auto pilot.
When i got home today and loaded six 3.40s and it went great. I didn't have any trouble following the action, and only made a few mistakes. I think i may have missed 3 or 4 pushes total, and made one mis click. This is just crazy to be able to put in 6 games with this system. I think with a few more sets i will be better adjusted to the cascade view and not miss anything.
This is great. I often wanted to play poker when i was at home but wouldn't due to playing few tables. I could play 4 tiled but you go blind. This is going to let me get more games which equals more money. More money equals building up the bankroll and higher buy in games. I really want to get to the 6.50s again on stars.
Moving back to the 6.50s will let me
1. Wreck a game that is easy. The 6.50s are a little bit tougher than the 3.40s, but they are still money.
2. Build up money that i could withdraw monthly. I could very easily withdraw 200-500 dollars a month off of the 6.50s. This would take a nice chunk out of my bills every month, and help me to get ahead of the game.
3. Build up enough money that i could start playing mtts more. I really really enjoy mtts, and want to become profitable in them. I think i could beat the 4.40 180 mans right now, but i don't have the bankroll to play them. I want to be able to play the 4.40 and 11 dollar 180 mans, and all the low limit mtts i want. I also want to play in the 3 dollar re buy tournament. a mtt with a first place of ~5 thousand dollars, full of bad players, and has a low entry fee??? SIGN ME UP!!!
well there is a little more non tilted update for the blog. More to come in the future because i am wanting to play a lot these days.

been a while....
I bought a house, so that has been taking up most of my time.
but now that that is over i am playing a lot. Things have not been going great tho...
When i play it seems like things fall apart towards the end of my sngs. I know i am rusty, and this is part of my problem. I also need to limit the number of tables i play, or more so think about how many i should play before i load them up. Just now i loaded 4 on full tilt and realised that i shouldn't be playing more than 3 right now untill i get use to FTP again. I can run 4 on stars fine, but the full tilt was a wreck and i am now tilted.
The thing that started it all was me re-raise bluffing on the flop when i thought it was me and another guy...but i missed someone who called in the blinds. So i bluff off 40~ of my stack and have to fold where i really should of check folded. Then i was spite called by a guy and he won. Verging on robo tilt now. Then bubbled the last 2 sngs on frustraiting things.
Massive tilt. entered a 6.50 sng and things went fine untill i thought he was blufffing and i pushed. I still think the push was fine, but i donked afterwards. so ended up down ~30 dollars for a hour long sesh. ugggggggggg
Every since i started playing again sngs have been kicking my ass. I know i am not playing my best game, but i still am playing well enough to win. I think its just some variance that i am going threw. Either way i am going to just play the 3.40s for a while. My Stars account is getting too low ~80. I really really don't want to go busto on stars.
Playing on stars will let me win some money, play in a easy game, and get some confidance back.
Sorry for a rant blog, but this is what it is. but i will come out of this and it will be fine.
God bless
