.....till the end of the month. I've played 163 games @ 9.80% ROI. It's tough to say what the profit is on that since I played some $16's and a $27. I would say I profited about $125+ for the month. If not more than that, the $27 win was $112.50 extra. I dont believe I have lost the buy-ins on that yet. My ROI is shitty and I'm very disappointed in it for the month. I have 37 games and would be happy to see it shoot up to 15% or so.
I was screwing around on sharkscope yesterday and got to see all my results since I've started playing poker. I really havent played a lot of sngs back then because I didnt know much about them but I have played 408 $6.50 9-man turbos for an ROI of 37%. Not shabby, $981.24 profit. Thats small size but still good to see the results.
so back to the goals....
1) VOLUME VOLUME VOLUME. Play atleast 200 games in April.
I'm 37 games shy of this and have 2 days to play that much....I could probably do it in one night, we'll see.
2) Be at $16 level by the end of April. Bankroll roughly $850-$1050 needed.
Current bankroll is at $874.xx
3) Top 25 in SNG leaderboard on Stars.
Not even close. I need to play 18-mans to make this happen...maybe when I go up in levels i can do 9 man.
4) Top 5 in SNG leaderboard on PokerX Factor
I've come to terms with this one also..you must either A) run like God or B) run like God. I'm currently in 66th place, 1st place i think is at 55% ROI over 50 or so games.....aka run like God.
5) Play atleast 3 or more MTTs. Hopefully qualify for some more majors.
Sunday was my MTT day. Played 2 Omaha hi/lo tournaments and one $2.20 turbo, plus the live Omaha Hi/Lo. I was disappointed with my performance, so next months goals will be to play WAY more MTTs.
So thats my month so far. My main goals have been reached. Which was volume and getting to the next SNG level. I'm trying to come up with some goals for the next month, it's going to be a short one because I go to Punta Cona for like 7 days or something in the middle of may. I know one goal is going to be not to play any cash games! I've fucked up in them and continue to spew. My roll should be well over 1100 i would think without the mishaps.
Also I played 5 45-man SNGs yesterday and took down 1 of them for $84. I don't think I have a the bankroll to play these a lot but I'm going to start playing some of them. Boku made all his money in them so if you do something right and play a ton of volume you can make some moneyI think.
Currenlty the roll sits at $874.xx
So after an up and down month I made right around $344 bucks. It's laughable because you look at it and say $50k in a year? and youve only made $514 bucks in 2 months...hah! I know it's funny but give me a break.....low limits, low wins. Still need a break through win or break through month. I'm going to finish the month hard and hopefully roll into May ready to take on the $16's.

Fuck you sunday
I hate sunday and always have hated sunday. I can't seem to win and if I'm doing good i fuck up. I played a bit out of my bankroll yesterday.
1st I played a $22 Limit Omaha hi/lo tournament. 45 people entered, very very weak. I should of just stayed out of it because there just wasnt enough people to make it worth the headache. I was also playing 6-7 tables of $16 SNG's and a $2.20 NL tournament and then $5 PLOH/L Rebuy.
so the limit tournament i didnt really pay attention to and busted like 41st. The 2.20 i was just trying to build a stack and being aggressive and busto'd like 4200ish.
The $5 rebuy hi/lo tournament went well, kinda. First hour i spent $45 total, which isnt terrible...I need to revamp my Rebuy strategy for PLOHL because of course its NOT hold em. Anyways...i was sitting on 13,500 after first break and add-on. Managed to get up to 40k with 9 people till the money. I ended up donking off my whole stack and finshed 72nd or something...63 paid.
The $16's were going good and then I hit a rough patch. I was up about $56 in 10 games or so and I just keep firing them up while I played the rebuy. Ended up playing 20 altogether and profited $4. WOO.
Anyways current bankroll after a shit sunday is I think $890ish.

Sundays
The weekend is wrapping up and I havent even posted in the last few days. I havent played a lot of tournaments this week so I am still behind schedule. I did treat myself to a $27 9-man Turbo and I took it down.
I played in the omaha hi/lo tournament on friday and got knocked out around the 50's. 96 players entered and it would of been a nice pay day. Blinds went up very fast but I think I played pretty good.
I'm going to try to play some MTT's today...mostly Omaha hi/lo I think. I'm also playing in the Battle of the Planets Triple Shootout. Action starts at 2:40pm today.
Current bankroll sits at $939.47. I'm going to keep playing $16's and round out the month.

Continuing the Downswing
BLAH. I can't win a race, whether its my QQ vs AK or my AK vs 33. Cant win it! Just how its been going the past few times I've been playing. My ROI is now at 10.97% over 137 games, which comes to $97.69 profit for the month so far. Of course this looks shitty! Well actually it is shitty, 11% ROI in $6.50 turbos is disgusting. BUT, 137 games so I'm not worried about it. I think I can maintain 20%+ in these. Variance is kicking my butt right now but I know with more games it'll even out and hopefully I'll make more. I went 1/10 in cashes my last outting and it was a 3rd in a 9-man. Break down was 1/6 9-man and 0/4 in 18-man.
I also made a fuck up and played more cash game! FUCK. I gotta stop doing that shit because that is what gets me in trouble all the time. Get up nice and the BOOM , BUSTO cuz of a fucking cash game. No worries, keep our eye on the prize. I've been looking at the first post I made in March about the set-up I would be using. Roughly 40 Buy-ins per SNG level. I've kinda thrown that out the window and the whole idea was to be semi-aggressive about the approach. I think I need to grow a sac and start playing where I should be. Here is the first few levels of the 'graph'
$6.50T $200 roll 458 games to move up
$16T $640 roll 183 games to move up
$27T $1080 roll 109 games to move up
Now I havent played 458 games of the $6.50, I might have half done. I can't remember anymore. Now since my slip up I have about the same amount from April 12th. Bankroll is currenlty at $810. So I'm definatley rolled for $16 turbos. So if we take 137 games at 10.97% ROI at the 16 level we have a profit of $240.46. Not bad, this would be motivation to actually play more games per week. I dont think 10 tabling would be smart but 4-6 tabling for longer and more days a week would suffice. This might be the motivation I need to get more volume. I wanted to 200 games this month and have the bankroll between $850-$1050 to start playing the 16 turbos next month. I was already up to $967 and decided not to play the 16's. Dumb idea on my part.
I have vacation coming up in the middle of May, so I'm going to start grinding some 16's tonight and see what I can do by the end of the month profit wise. I'm also gonna start playing some nightly Omaha H/L tournaments. I'll sacrifice a few hours of sleep for a decent score. VOLUME VOLUME VOLUME= big scores.
Can't forget, one last thing...shout out to Redline Speed who fucked up the 75k Guarentee on FTP a few days ago for $18,750 score. So fucking sick. Congrats man, keep that shit up. This is also the same guy who is going to make me into a better MTT'er so I can make some nice scores like that and get the fuck outta this job where I dont have to wake up everyday at 630am. FUCK. k i'm done.
Current Roll: $810 :(

Half through
Half way through april today. Had a pretty decent month so far, nothing to write home about but productive. Yesterday was the worst day of the month. I went 8/26 in cashes and lost $45 total. I do confess the past few days I've been dabbling in cash games :( I did win some cash though...had my roll up $967. But with yesterdays down swing im sitting healthy at $922. Well on my way to playing $16s but May. I might even start soon if I can shake this little downswing from last night.
also i leave for vacation in like 1 month. Can't wait for the fucking beach and drinks and whatever else it has to offer me. wooo.
Current bankroll: $922.xx

Easter Update
Been a pretty crazy couple days. I took a half day on thrusday and friday off to head to cleveland with some friends to see the Movement and G-Love and special sauce. WOW. Great show! Great time!
Since I had friday off we got back around 2:30ish or so and I decided since the SCOOP is still going on and I havent got to play an event yet I would try to qualify for the Low Event. Played a few sats and ended up paying $14 to get into the $55- Low SCOOP event. Now this worked out almost perfectly because it was a Omaha Hi/Lo event! wooo. Great practice for the first live one I'm going to play in 2 weeks.
The event attracted 2561, started with 5k chips and 15 min levels. Everything went great first couple hours. I think it was around hour 6 that I was up and down and all in at one time. It was a Limit event so I lasted quite a long time. So about 6 hours later I was out in 70th. 1st prize was $20k, I finished 70th for $217.69. I was dissapointed because I knew I could of went deeper, but a few pots didnt go my way, and a few misplayed hands.
In the SNG grinder world I have played 63 so far this month with an ROI of 23.96%. Which is a profit of about $98. Not terrible but not terrific. So I have 137 SNGs to go and I'm in 10th in the PFX leaderboard. I will need to play some 18 mans to get top 25 in the pokerstars leaderboard, so we will see what happenes.
Bankroll currently sits at $820.52

I'm in love
So I was playing yesterday and fired up 9 tables and accidentally hit 'cascade'. which puts all the tables basically in a row cascading down the screen. Now usually I play with 'tile' but OMG was cascading awesome. It was so easy to keep track of the games. Obviously there is up and downs with both, but I played 19 yesterday and profited about $8. I'm going to keep pumping out 10 tables at once or so and see how I do. My first 9 set went really well, made about $50 but my second 10 set went terrible. I played like shit in some and got sucked out in others....if I keep playing bad I will go back to 4-6 tabling.
i've played 41 sngs so far, and im waiting for sharkscope to update my ROI. I was at 51% at 22 games....i'm probably around 20-25% right now.
Bankroll currenlty sits at $611.xx
Gonna hit it hard tonight and try to get as much volume as I can with cascading and hope for a profit.

April Goals!
Ok March was kind of a disappointment. I didn't play many games, lost $150 to the book/casino and that might of been it. I had a negative ROI for the whole month. This includes before I started this little 'Quest'. I think it was around -9.09% or something over 60 games or so. The last day of March I may have got back into positive ROI but I'm not sure. I need to purchase Sharkscope or get my PokerTracker working for tracking purposes. I might be lazy and do the sharkscope thing, shows all my games, and I can filter it and so forth.
I played 10 games yesterday, all $6.50 9-man turbos.
1st- 4
2nd- 1
3rd- 1
4th- 1
busto- 3
pretty good results, added about $73 to my roll. Currenlty sitting at $602.23.
So on to April.
Goals
1) VOLUME VOLUME VOLUME. Play atleast 200 games in April.
2) Be at $16 level by the end of April. Bankroll roughly $850-$1050 needed.
3) Top 25 in SNG leaderboard on Stars.
4) Top 5 in SNG leaderboard on PokerX Factor
5) Play atleast 3 or more MTTs. Hopefully qualify for some more majors.
I know 200 isnt a huge amount of volume but I dont want to say 500 and come up short. I think 200 is achievable, I've been slacking and need to pick up the pace and play more. I'm going to need to play more than 5k sngs to reach $50k unless I run like none other. So I'm less concerned with a 'deadline' of when I reach it. I just will keep plugging away and playing as many games as possible.
Also I've went down to 4-6 tables to see if it might help to play that many instead of 8-10. My play has gotten better I think now that I got the feel back. But we'll see how that turns out when I go back to 8-10 tables at a time. I'm going to try and play atleast 20-30 tonight and hopefully keep riding my semi heater I'm on now.
Also April 24th there is a Omaha H/L at Moutianeer Casino $65 to enter. I dont think its Pot Limit which I'm better at, so I'm assuming its Limit, but I still think I have a huge edge if I go and play it. We'll see what happens.
