# 4 Games breakdown

I have not been hitting the tables hard like I wanted. Schooltime is almost over but lately I've been overly tired and stuff so got my blood tested and I have something that is similar to pfeiffer the doctor told me, can't do nothing but wait till its over.

I looked into playing a little more hypers because I'm not handling long sessions very good, so far so good, but 18man is progressing too. Hopefully I can doo the prop with a few grinders (still in for some suggestions about the setup) and grind to 400k at 1 May. I'm currently at 220k and hoping to make 250 at the end of the month but not sure given how i feel, we'll see, atleast this is happening early in the year instead of at the end .


Sooo, almost 25% of the year done and I think its time to look at the breakdown of my games again because its insightfull and people like pictures ^^:

March so far:

I have been running good, but also playing good I think. I was def focusing on the wrong things in my bad run, and making mistakes here and there in other spots. Regardless, winning showdowns doesnt hurt either

18-man for the year:

As you can see, there is a big BE stretch at the end. Partly variance, part of it highstakes, part of it very tough games, and a veryyy tiny part playing wise.

I think i tried to exploit some leaks too hard which resulted in me getting exploited a little in particular spots, nothing big, just minor adjustments. Also the hypers I've played got me better insight in more 18man spots as well, I can recommend anyone playing some hypers and analyzing them, it helps your other games where there are spots that hypers have all the time. You can kinda compare it with playing mtt sngs for practicing mtt endgames which can help you to some degree.

The games were very hard (and still are kinda), I can only think of Live@pompeii who is also up a decent chunkc pre rakeback this year with more then 10.000 18mans, so in that perspective: we ruleeee.

6-10man Turbo

I started out concentrating very very hard at these games because I was afraid to lose alot of money in them being so unexperienced in them. Luckily I started out with a big upswing that got me some confidence but also some arrogance.

I've played alot of 60s-100s and a few 200s which were probably too regfilled for me because 9mans are insanely overraked at pokerstars. My roi is still 3% pre rakeback mostly from winning at 30s alot and 5050s all stakes. I should just keep playing $30 9man and gameselect more at the $60+.

Also, I should try out 5050s more to see if I like them. I started playing them in december and BEing in them which lead me to stop playing them, however I'm at 4% in them now, so who knows, maybe these are a good filler next to my maingames.

6-9man Hyperturbos

Most of these games have been hypersats and 6max cash hypers. I've only played 200 9mans but won like 2k in them. Obviously also running good in the other hypers, what can I say, some of my 18man runbad is in here I guess. Normal winrates arent 5%, so I should expect a downswing at some point. The 74s have big swings which im not really ready for, but, just gotta do it I guess, I try to play them in the low hours because there arent that many regs in the 74s and 30$ cash hypers at that time.


Soooo tldr:
- Got out of my downswing for now, feeling better and more secure about poker then before
- Have to pick up the pace at some point though, still in for suggestions about the prop

GL IN THE TABLES
I play around 20 tables now. I used to do a propbet a year and a half ago to play 800 18mans within 24 hours at the 6.5s with profit. Ended after 15.5 hours with a 14% roi

re: Grinding SNEx2+ in 2013

@ ruse, can't tell you, sometimes at peak hours they run good, sometimes they run like shyt. Really depends if 4-5 regs are starting up the regging so the weak regs and fish get in there too.

Sometimes when you're grinding you think why the f am i doing this, and quit early, hard to start new sessions and stuff... But man when you're not grinding for a while, you really want to get in the game again..

Picked it up yesterday a bit with 2400 vpp, hopefully can put in a big saturday+ sunday. if anyone with a 35-45 avg stake just like pompeii and me and are interested in the prop, msg me here or on skype so we can set it up. gl all gogo

re: Grinding SNEx2+ in 2013

Just passed 225k VPPs. Plan is to make 250k happen before end of the month so I'm at least on pace. Playing a little more 18mans again because I feel better and can handle long sessions better without getting dizzy etc.

Ran so well at hypers this month, buttttt, i feel its coming in 18man too . I re-entered the top20 all stakes and topdog at the $36-$100 again . Hopefully I will start running better in 30/200/300 too so i can get closer to the top in my beloved game =]

Micro Millions was one big fail for me. I didn't play a lot of events but also didnt cash one i think. I dont really need the mtt wins though because I've had a few last year, still cant hurt to bink reallllly hard one time, just gonna save it for SCOOP i guess.

One of my friends did bink a micromillions event though,
