Been a while since I checked in. I 'm going to be playing more than usual over the next week or so, so I figured writing out a goal would help keep me focused.
From Nov 2-Nov 9 I have a goal of just over tripling my bankroll from $591.90 which it's at at the start of writing this to $2,000.
I still have my longer term goal of having a 10k bankroll at the end of the year from a post I made a couple of months ago, I dragged myself down by bad bankroll management in the WCOOP, a bad timed downswing and unexpected bills that made me cash out over $3,000 more than expected.

I will be playing on Full Tilt Poker under screenname Best2everlive. I will be playing MTT's- sceduled and SNG's mostly $4.4 Rush tournies and $6.5 90man Ko's. Everything I play will be $12 or lower buy in unless I satelite in for under $12.

Thank you. I was disappointed that it closed too. I hope I go on a quick run right from the start as I did when I started my other thread.

Thank you all, I hope I can make it entertaining and profitable.
Day 1 was far from stellar.
Balance: $601.74
Seemed like in every tourny I stacked up in I'd get AK and run into Aces just before the money. I'm hoping tommorow will be better. These games on Full Tilt seem way softer than stars. Profit hasn't shown it yet but I think it will.

Not off to an exciting start. Through 2 days: +$15 over 15 hours. Nice $1/hr. rate so far. I may hop back on for one more session tonight. I seem to be running into a lot of tough spots still, such as rivers that make me 2nd or 3rd nuts and end up stacking off to the nuts and seem to run into a lot of monsters late in tournies. I'm thinking this will pass as I feel I should be able to beat these stakes for close to a 100% ROI as they seem super soft especially prior to the final 2 tables in these 90-135 mans but so far through just under 300 games on full tilt I have just an 18% ROI

Played 20 minutes of cash and got 1 outered twice in all ins on flop!! Drives me a bit crazy. Balance now $570. Going for a run to clear my head and will be back at it in an hour or so and my goal is just to get it to $650 before I go to bed and have a slight win.

So far a small sample size but those in particular have been over a 50% ROI so far but I'll let you know when I hit 500 or so to give you at least a general idea. They seem to be very soft. About the same competition level it seems as the $2.20 180 mans on stars but the structure is slightly slower.

How do you post Hand Histories from full tilt? When on Pokerstars I just cut and post here and it converts. I had a fun bluff to show but don't know how to post it. Was over 30 BB each HU which is rare in a $6 Turbo 90 man and pulled a huge bluff which turned the tables.
Balance: $726.11

Stacked up in a MTT that gave me a shot but cashed for only like $40. Here's a spot that gets me into trouble. I have Q10 hearts 2 before button with 1k/2k blinds and make it 4650, button 3bets to 9500. Both about 100k (50BB) deep. (Flop about 90% of the time late in tournies in those spots hits me with top pair it seems) and no suprise a 10 high flop. I could fire out 15k but what does that do? If he's making a play or has even a draw he prob comes over the top or smooth calls anyway in which case I need to shut down. I decide to check shove, I check, he bets 17k into the 23k in the middle and I shove for about 70k more and he has aces. I just hate giving up to the mini 3bet pre flop with a nice flop seeing hand but it literally gets me into so much trouble. Any suggestions? I'm always trying to improve and consider myself a very good player and I 20x my starting stack in tournies as good as anyone but have a hard time closing the door and just end up with a lot of mini cashes, which essentially aside from a final table they all are as the pay jumps are tiny til final table.

I don't have HEM. I really should. That would probably help with my earlier problem with the 3bets late i have too. I tried with hand converter and didn't work for me. Not a big deal.. I want to get to $1,000 today. I will need to be much more successful than previous days but I think I can pull it off

as far as ur hand there, u just have to deal with running into the top of ppls ranges, i mean react to his 3bet depending on ur notes/reads on him and u should be fine. everyone runs into the top of villains range from time to time. post hh in mtt forum and see what thier opinions are imo. im no reg at mtt/mttsngs but i love playing em. i prolly woulda c/r too but im not one to be giving out advice to a winning reg

oh ok, thought i read before that u had it and just didnt use it as a hud. u should look into it, considering u are a mtt reg u'll have hh on a lot of the frequents and regs. small stakes hem (version i have) was only about 60 i think, covers stakes up to 24+rake u can always upgrade later for full version. being that u grind the micros u shouldnt need full version
