So I've played a few games since my last post and have done TERRIBLE. I'm going to have to start reviewing some games because I don't know if its variance or me just sucking up. I know I'm making some mistakes but others it just seems like I'm getting sucked out. I played about 12 games thrusday and lost about 4 buy ins. I've started playing $6.50 18 and 45 man. The 45s are fun as hell but DAMN, you need to get a stack early cuz once you get the FT your looking at 600/1200 plus antes or higher by the time your down to 9. I only placed in 2/12 games and I believe I bubbled about 3-4 games. So there is profit right there that I SHOULD have had. It could be that I made some poor decisions and it caused me to be short stacked so therefore I had to push and probably got sucked out on. It's hard to tell with some many games going on at once. Which is kind of an advantage for me because I dont see how I was beat..but usually I pull up the HH real quick and see.
I've been thinking about tilt lately, because the on thrusday I was ready to kill a small puppy I was so pissed off. It brought me back to the days when I would wig out over some beats and throw poker chips that would cause small holes in my bedroom walls and break chips in the process. Or breaking my mouse from pounding it. Yes, it gets out the frustration but at the same time what the fuck am I thinking. This is poker baby, variance is like an annoying little kid at McDonalds that you want to punch in the face because he wont shut the fuck up about how he didnt get the right happy meal toy. But when he leaves you can enjoy the rest of your BigMac. Anyways, I can't really complain that I'm on a huge downswing because that session I only lost about $24-25 or so. I played around 40-50 before that and made a few bucks. It just seems I'm not winning as much as I would expect. 2/10, 2/16, 3/20 in cashes, kinda frustrating. Which leads me to my next point.
I tried 20-tabling the other day, it actually went really good, had a profit of about $52. The ROI isnt obtainable but I believe 20-tabling is something that might help me get some profit going. I've been trying to work something out so for the remaining days in July and the whole month of August. I want to have around $2000-$2500 by the end of August or into the first week of September. As we all know the WCOOP is coming up and there are a few events I want to try and play. I seem to be runing semi deep in PLOHL so obviously thats an event. I was also eyeing up the $535 Heads Up Tournament, cuz I love heads up and had a few deep finishes and a win on full tilt a while back.(also knocked out Aaron Bartley and got me a shirt). With my current work schedule though its going to be tough to play the events I want, so I want to still try to qualify for them and use that money as my bankroll also. About 2-3 years ago I turned my FPPs into 3 seats for different WCOOP events. If I can win 3-4 or more seats thats almost $1000 + added to the BR. So whats the plan?
Play ALOT of SNGs of course.
This is a rough breakdown of what I want to do but this could change. I kinda started on Wednesday and have 45 days to reach between $2k-$2.5k bankroll (about $1600-$2000 profit). Start day was July 15th end day is August 28th. Again I might extend to the first week of September because my tournies are later in the schedule. But if I end on the 28th that gives me Friday night, saturday and sunday to start hitting the qualifiers hard.
Here's what I'm planning to do, my ROI numbers are an estimate, could be higher could be lower, we shall see.
300 $6.50 9-man turbos @ 30% ROI = $585 (playing 16-20 at a time for a few sessions a night will take about a week to complete)
300 $6.50 18-man turbos @ 17% ROI = $331.50 (this might get tossed out the window pending my 9 man results. I think 17% is a low ROI, but if I can nail 30% in the 9 mans I might just play another 200-300 games and have almost $1200 profit.)
250 $16 9-man turbos @ 20% ROI = $800
850 SNGs = $1716.50 profit. Which is about 3-4 weeks to complete if I can keep a steady diet of SNGs.
This is subject to change, but the first step will not. This little project will be my main focus. NO cash, NO mtts, NO nothing except SNGs. I've had trouble playing 250 in a month, and now I have to play 850ish in about a 1.5 months. I'll be mainly 16-20 tabling these bad boys so we figure thats an avg of 18 tables at once, which comes to 27 tables per hour, which is about 11 hours to complete 300ish. This could easily be done in a weekend of hardcore playing.
This will give me motivation to play and I think a good idea to see if I can actually play and make good money. 1700 buck profit in about a month and half is a nice chunk of change and will get me back on track to making some steady bucks in the future. So we will see what happens in the next month. I'll try to update after every session. Also my bankroll has dropped dropped dropped, so I might only start out at about 10-12 tables just incase I get kicked in the nuts and lose a bunch.
Current bankroll : $583.xx
