Moving again

I’m going to try a free web hosting service to host my own wordpress setup.

I’m also looking for a domain, but need to come up with a decent name

For now, the address will be.

Turning $100 into $500 playing micro and low limit SNGs – Update II

Nothing big, just playd a single session of 8 $6.5 SNGs. It’s a mess when I 8 table but it worked out to $20 more.

Since I don’t play that much SNGs now I’ll probebly just make a weekly update from now on posting my stats.

On another note I did play a private tournament today. We’re a bunch of people who try to setup one of these regularly. The experiance level is very veriing. From people who’ve just started playing to people like me who’ve studdied the game for a while. I finished 6th or 7th out of 13. Also playd a $22 180 without cashing. It’s been quite a while since I got deep in anything bigger then a $4 180 now so I hope something is coming soon.

Turning $100 into $500 playing micro and low limit SNGs – Update

Got the $100 up to $154 yesterday.

Playd 18 $3 SNGs before I decided to play over my bankroll for a bit, cause it was just going to slow, even for me lol.

I playd a few $6 turbos and got lucky.

Here’s the results in a bit more detail

$3 10 handed
Playd 18
Total profit: $10.80
ROI: 17.6%

$3610 handed
Playd 9
Total profit: $44.05
ROI: 75%

Note: The results on the $6 will drop, I don’t expect to keep an ROI like this. My expectation is that I’ll end up at 15-20% ROI

If you odn’t know what ROI is, well it’s short for return on investment. I’ll use my $3 SNGs as an example:

I playd 18 $3.40 SNGs.
18 times $3.40 = $61.2
My total winngs was $62.2
this means I win Something arund $0.60 per SNG an average. So each time we invest $3.40 we get $4 back. Now we just take $0.6/$3.40 = 0.176. That’s our return on investment.

I’ll probebly keep doing the $6s for a while. If I go into a downswing I’ll see the test as a fail.

Turning $100 into $500 playing micro and low limit SNGs

It’s been a whiel since I playd SNGs (at least 2 months) and I’m feeling a little rusty. So I’ll restart at the lowest levels just for fun, to see how I’m doing. I’ll set aside $100 for the test and use the 2 + 2 SNG spreadsheet to track my results. If you ain’t familiar with it, it’s just an MS excel spreadsheet where you can enter your results and it will calculate everything from hourly rate to bankroll requirements for you.

I’ll prlbeby do the test on pokerstars since I like the structure of SNGS there. Also, the lower limit SNGs starts all the time so you can easily multi table as many as you want.

I’ll start at the $3.40 turbos despite the higher variance and lower ROI. When I first started I was only playing regular SNGs and I recommend that to anyone who’s not familiar with SNG end game play.

So here goes…

One of those days…

This has been one of those days where Things just don’t go your way. I started out with the $11 rebuy on stars and 2 $5 on FTP. Managed to cash one of the $5 on FTP for a whooping $7.50

In the $11 rebuy I was shortstacked near the bouble and picked up QQ,. Shoved my 8bb into an AQ that called and hit an A on the flop. Finnished 271st with 270 cashing. I play to win but when I’m short like that I hope to at least make the money.

Playd a bunch of other tournaments as well, where I was basically card dead, only building my stack through resteals, but no cashes.

Ysterday I finished 7th in a $10 knockout on FTP for $157 + a bunch of knockouts. Also did very well in 100NL on FTP yesterday so overall it was quite good. For some reason, I seem to do better in cash games on other sites, compared to stars.
