$20 bankroll for sit'n'go grind.

So i started with $20 about 2 weeks ago and decided to grind the micro single table SNGs to see how i'll go. In that time (with one minor hiccup i'll discuss), i have played it up to $160 4 tabling 3 $1.50 SNGs and one $3.50 SNG.

This laid the platform for my ultimate goal.

By the end of the year, i hope to take my $20 BR all the way up to a couple thousand and be playing $30 SNGs.

Graph:



The hiccup was my friend thought he was logged in to his account and registered for a $30 SNG under my account = bubbled out of the money - ROI and profit crushed.

Current problems:

- Putting people on ranges and still calling them anyway when i think i'm behind.

- Try to do so many things on top of playing poker at the same time so get distracted.

- No HUD, statistics, graphs other than Sharkscope.

- Need BR management discipline.

- Not use BR for MTTs, not play drunk, not tilt money away.

Aim:

- Turn $20 in to effectively $3000 and move up from there before 2013.

- Will be moving up levels when i feel i'm comfortable. $1.50s is ridiculously easy so will be moving up to completely 4 tabling the $3.50s at around the $250 mark.

Re: $20 bankroll for sit'n'go grind.

Good luck! I subscribed. I could never get the hang of multitabling sng's. They just always frustrated me. MTT sng's seemed to play too fast and STT sng's just bored me. Good luck getting up there!

Re: $20 bankroll for sit'n'go grind.

Agree, senator they can get a bit dull but i feel it's my best game and guys like AdamMCrawford make it easily accessible to get videos online and improve my game constantly and learn hand ranges etc.

I would like to eventually make the transition to MTTs but right now, i'm just looking to get a solid game and build a roll.

Re: $20 bankroll for sit'n'go grind.

Not running too crash hot.

Took $5 to the cash tables to just chill out and reclaim my cool. Will be back on in around an hour to grind out some serious SnG action.



Going to reduce my $3.50 tables and just 3/4 table the $1.50s until i grind it back up. I'm winning in $1.50s but bubbling out of the $3.50s which is seriously hampering my ROI% and profits as i'm breaking even at best.

I don't think i could ever tilt off on a $30 SnG. If i'm tilting, i tend to play more aggressive, not jump up 10-30 times by buy in. Just doesn't make sense to.

Thanks for the support though, guys.

I'm "Shamwoww" on Stars so if you see me around, say hi and feel free to let me know how you think i'm playing and i can do that in return.

      Overdosed on runbad but that's ok. Break even day so far with the intent to keep playing MOAR.

      Lost KK to AQo after they rivered a 2 outer.

      AQo jam to a 4x UTG raise and they turned over A6s and turned the nut flush.

      Not feeling tilty, just eager. GOGOGOGO.

      Re: $20 bankroll for sit'n'go grind.

      hand 1: you didn't over bet river since it was a push/check in that position as you were alright pot committed no matter what amount you put in. since a check wouldn't be an ideal move,you did okay.

      hand 2: wp. not a big fan of the check-raise on the flop but that does well. in these stakes just hit valuetown everytime you've got a made hand.

      tilt management is important, and yeah its hard admitting that you're on tilt.

      Re: $20 bankroll for sit'n'go grind.

      Hand 1: Does the shove reduce likeliness of being called by 10< flush?

      Hand 2: i should mention villain min raised a few times when checked to so i was hoping to induce bigger on the flop.

      After the min check raise and him min 4b i just thought whatever, it's going in regardless so just have some fun with it.
