Nice goals man.

GL especially on pistaccio risotto! (So many variants out there - what will blakk choose...stay tuned)

IMO should take shots at MMT's also to make it more fun.

Dude there are tons of materials for SNG's, IMO you should be capable of finding them on your own.

Missed your point on your earlier reply. Still, those vids will not make much +EV for you if your a begginer, though might be wrong.

Anyway, GL

sup. sry i missed this i was in midgrind (did 11 hs nonstop yesterday). umm. theres different types of sngs. for HUhypers HUSNG.com is by far the best. for MTTSNGs theres tons but the one i ve landed on is SNGmentors.com.

hope that helps

MTT variance is a biatch tho so beware

********APRIL SUMMARY*********


April was pretty meh tbh from a poker perspective but other than that april was actually a great month. I ll grade myself an A for effort for sure:

-120 hours in 3 weeks of play
-15 hrs of coaching
-3 workouts every week
-25 hours of strategy
-awesome holiday

[x] survived driving a car on the left lane

from a poker perspective however i m pretty unhappy with what i achieved this month. of the 120 hours i played only 32 came from cash and i think i didnt play great for most of that mainly for mental game reasons. that prompted e to reread the mental game of poker and go into may focussing on a few mental game issues i ve discovered that i think are important to adress. One of which is me being an undecisive little bitch when it comes to playing poker. I find it hard to make up my mind as to 180s vs cash. I enjoy both a lot but obviously have gravitated towards 180s lately cuz I find it a lot easier to volume them like crazy. yesterday i played 11 hours worth of them without a problem. after paying 9 hrs of them the day before. the last time i played 11 hrs of cash was january 31st 2012

so naturally despite my epected hourly being a lot lower in 180s than in cash esp now that i dont play staked and have dropped 3rs and 15s i felt getting in the hours would be more important to improve my work ethic. hence those hours. I will see how this month goes and rly just go by feel. as long as i keep studying and improving as a player i think both options are cool. the reson i say 180s vs MTTs is that I ll probably really drop most bigfield donaments from my schedule outside of sundays. the variance in those is ridiculous and funnily enough i find them hard to focus on while playing 180s on the side. so i ll spend this week playing 180 only sessions trying to knock out sick volume and evaluating all that come sunday. given SCOOP is coming up this month and i m looking to play all the low NLHE events this might come as handy practice for a long donkament grind in mid may.

graphs in april:






the main goal of this month no matter what format i play on what day is get hours in! I have reviewed the goals i posted yesterday and i think they were missing a bit of structure and study time in them so...

goals for every single week of may:

[ ] 45 hours of play
[ ] 7 hours of strategy
[ ] 3 workouts
[ ] bunch of coaching
[ ] bunch of fruit and veg daily and NO junk food
[ ] get sh*tfaced on the pubcrawl with fellow grinders with TR

I will review these goals on every monday and try to evaluate my mental game as well in the process.

really pumped going int may leggooooooooooo
