re: ARNOTRONIC'S ROAD TO SNG GLORY

Again not a great day.

I won an ante up mtt though. How are you supposed to play these things? Haha.

I'm am tiling around 12 tables now and I feel like it's making me tired. Maybe it would be better to stack the ones that are in the early stages and don't require special attention, any ideas?


Result: -85,09
Roll: 704,39
Hours played: 8,5
Games: 93

Again not much of a point in putting a graph up because HEM2 chooses to ignore my mtt winnings.

re: ARNOTRONIC'S ROAD TO SNG GLORY

I'm done for today.

Shipped a small field 2.2 mtt today . Also shipped my first 4.50 180 man .

I'm running absolutely terrible in the 2.50 turbos. I mostly bubble or mincash them and when I do FT one I typically lose a flip, KK<AQ etc.


Result: +183,36
Roll: 888,29
Hours played: 8,5
Games: 85

Why do I have HEM2 again? It's ignoring mtt winnings like a plague.
Way to make me feel good about myself

I have been loving spanish guitar music whilst I'm playing: Clickety
Also discovered "Johannes Linstead" today, loving his music as well.


edit: I played one stack of 12 games today, using TN's hotkeys to put aside tables for important decisions/action.

re: ARNOTRONIC'S ROAD TO SNG GLORY

Gl sir. Subbed and following along. I use placemint to arrange my tables. 2 screens with 4 stacks - one for 3r 180s, one for freezeout 180s, one for MTTs and one for 18s/45. Then I have Table Ninja hotkeys to set tables aside on the second screen (in four slots) if I'm deep or want to follow a hand. Works really well.

Thank you sir.

Sounds good. I've tried to set up placemint a couple of times but I can't make it work .

Move up to where?

I think that schedule looks fine but you should definitely play some satties to stuff as big 11/big 22 etc. Field is super soft

re: ARNOTRONIC'S ROAD TO SNG GLORY

Man man man, the 2.5 180 mans are NOT treating me well. I'm on a ~ 160 buyin downswing in them over the last 280 games or so . Hope it's not my game and just variance.

Today was a hell of a grind.

Result: +42,71
Roll: 913
Hours played: 10
Games: 111

Still don't know why I have HEM2 haha.

I might make Goldstar this month for the first time ever and getting close to a 1k bankroll!

re: ARNOTRONIC'S ROAD TO SNG GLORY

Today was even more of a hell of a grind. I've put in a ton of time/volume.

I have to be honest and say I'm pretty let down by my results, even though it was a winning day I felt it could've been waaaaaaaay better. Had a slightly winning day in the 2.5 turbo's for the first time in a while though, in b4 upswing I hope

Going to take a day off or a day and do something else than just grind soon . I feel I'm becoming kind of isolated from friends etc.


One hand which I think I played really well in a FT:

    Poker Stars, $4.10 Buy-in (1,000/2,000 blinds, 200 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 3 Players
    Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #13938072

    Hero (BTN): 81,221 (40.6 bb)
    SB: 142,996 (71.5 bb)
    BB: 45,783 (22.9 bb)

    Preflop: Hero is BTN with Q 9
    Hero raises to 4,000, SB calls 3,000, BB folds

    Flop: (10,600) 5 K J (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks

    Turn: (10,600) T (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets 5,618, SB calls 5,618

    River: (21,836) T (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets 71,403 and is all-in, SB calls 71,403

    Spoiler:



    Get the Flash Player to use the Hold'em Manager Replayer.


    Result: +75,96
    Roll: 988,96
    Hours played: 11,5
    Games: 125

    I can never sleep after I played poker so I'm going to watch Van Wilder 2.

    Thanks for all the advice, you're the MTT warrior!

    Might be a good idea to cut sessions indeed, or just play one shorter session.

    Good luck!
