just Sharkscoped my self for the month and after playing 117 games i am up 83 dollars and running at 16% ROI.
Pretty happy with that. When i first switched to sngs i went bit of a downer at the 3.40s, but now things are evening out. So thankful i didn't have to re load. Something about re loading that i don't like, and also its a lot of fun building a roll.
anyways i am 6 tabling now and things are going good. Tomorrow i am going to put a AHK script on this computer. With that i should be able to start 7 tabling which will help me gain FPPs a bit faster. Also i am going to try to make Silver Star next month, and being able to 7 table will really help me get there. At the 3.40s i will have to play 750 sngs to make it, so thats a pretty good chunk compared to my usual volume.
I think a key to my success on building a roll/winning at sngs is going to be the VIP program. Naturally i am a nit when it comes to losing, so the extra money made by the FPPs will offset downswings. Also i am in a pretty bad spot mentally to make money playing poker. Downswings bother me a lot, and winning doesn't really give me that much joy. I have won 500-1k pots in live cash games and use to play 50-200 dollar HUSNGs and stts 8-16 limit and 2-4 nl (all under crap BR managment), so the winning of money rush is gone. But i really enjoy the idea of moving my way up the VIP ladder. Sort of like a video game. So hopefully with the VIP program and the actual money won i will stay motivated to keep playing, and learning.
Anyways thats enough rambling for now. Plan on playing a good bit tomorrow, so i will give an update, along with my monthly results, and July Goals.
God Bless you guys,

Got tired
after i ate and got in a workout i loaded up some more games, but ended up just playing a set. I was tired, and on this short of a roll i really don't need to be goofing around much.
So thats about it. I spent Saturday going out to eat and watching a movie with my Mom, then Sunday was Church/Fathers day. So no games since Friday. I am not really feeling like playing today due to some life issues that popped up, but hopefully i can get in a set or two tomorrow. I think i am going to start loading 6 tables when i start instead of 5. I am having no trouble following the action at 5 unless i go on a sick heater and get to the bubble and further in 4 of the 5.
Regardless i need to be fairly aggressive with increasing tables. Once i get my roll big enough to play the 6.50s i really would like to have a decent $ per set average. I know everyone talks about their "Hourly" but i am going to be playing more sets that i am anything else, so it will be more motivating to know i am making 15+ dollars per set. Granted i am not going to go overboard with it and blow a hole in my ROI, but i am sure i have a 20+% roi at the 3.40s. Making it drop down to 10-15 a little bit until i learn and get use to playing more tables isn't that big of a deal to me. I would much rather learn and take the roi hit at the 3.40s then at the 16s like i have before.
so best of luck to all y'all and God Bless

longest sesh a while...
I loaded up 5 and drained the account down to pennies, ended up winning 2, and a second in one i think...
So after that i had enough to run continuous, so around 6:30 i started loaded and just ended. 3 hours strait isn't much to some, but online stts for 3 hours is a lot for my lazy body. Finished up with 70 dollars in the account. Ran pretty hot for sure. I tried 6 tabling cont. but it was going a bit fast and i am a bit tired. So dropped it down to 5 and things went great.
according to sharkscope i played 24 games with 59 dollars in profit, so thats a bit off. I figure i played 30 ish counting the first set of 5. either way things went well and i am happy about that.
Going to go workout and get some food, then i will be back at it later on tonight. Don't think i am going to get 100, but 50+ games and get the roll over a hundo would be neet.

friday friday
Friday is here and i gots a plan.
I am going to be spending tomorrow with my mom most of the day, so i want to get in some volume tonight. Friday evenings and Saturday are really the only times i can get in a lot of games :-( and i am going to be frowning even more if i end up playing 0 games tomorrow.
so...i am going to atempt to play 100 sngs today. This is massive volume for me, considering most months i never put in 100 sngs. I am going to have to learn to put in longer hours when i can due to my scedule. My big goal is to be able to 30 table in sets that way i could possibly get in 60-90 games during the week days. Otherwise there isn't much of a chance in me ever putting down 3k+ sngs per month.
So anyways i am going to give it a go. Running up my 16 dollars today is going to be gooooood goooood. NO RE-LOADO HERE

meh
after going otm in 10 strait 3.40s my account was at 16c. So i found these 210fpp 2 table turbo sats and played some of them. Ran hot, winning seats in 2 out of 4 or so.
Anyways i think i have around 16 dollars between actual money and t dollars. So have one more set of 5 in me. If i do busto the account i will re load to 300 and proceeded to wreck the 3.40s while increasing the number of tables i can play. right now i 5-6 table in sets easily, so i think i am going to jump it to 7 soon.

having fun with stts
well since my last blog i have played around 25ish stts and its been going good. I am prolly up 5-10 dollars.
Like i said its been good. I have been stacking my tables and doing my best not to look at results of all ins ect. I think that alone will help out with dealing with the ups and downs of poker. when i got to thinking about why i was looking at the results it brought a tiny "ahh" moment. I know all i can do is make the best decisions i can, but yet i still look. and it just gives me that little rush of winning or the bigger one of losing. All in all its a leak poker, and happiness ev and am going to do all i can to plug it.
For some reason i always liked playing 3.40s. even when i played the 16s i would sometimes load up a bunch of 3.40s and have fun killing 'em. This def. shows a trait i have as a person. Whether its video games, gambling games, or work, i enjoy a challenge, but not so hard that i end up getting creamed. When i am at work i love doing small task over and over. I get to "win" and win a lot. knowing this i think i need to tailor my poker playing to how i am. As boring at they sometimes can be, multi tabling low stakes stts is prolly the best bet for me.
so anyways i am running on stars with a 13 ish BI roll for the 3.40s and hope to run it up. If i go busto i will re-load 300 and play the 3.40s. Then move up to the 6.50s once i get the hang of stts again, and get the roll over 100 bi for them.
off to the tables...............

variance...
my number one leak by far is handling variance.
I am getting to think that i can't handle the mental side of HU play. Its not the money at all, just the way you get involved in HU. I could win 10 in a row, then lose 2 and i think i am the worst player on earth...and this is just at the 5 dollar level. I can't think of how i would feel if i was playing the 50s.
so anyways i think i am going to have to go back to 9 mans for my main game. I am pretty sure i can beat the 6.50 level right now, but my br is too small. Really i could just start playing them with the "rolled or busto" method, then reload if i go bust, but i don't think thats the best idea given my current losing at hu. So i will prolly just hit up the 2.25s on ftp or the 3.40s on stars. give them a run while i study up on my horse game.
anyways i hope to play the majority of the day so i will try to update tonight with how things are going.
