My 45 Man SNG Journey! From Rags to Riches...!! My 45 Man SNG Journey! From Rags to Riches...!!

Hey Guys, Im an online poker SnG/MTT Grinder. Have been switching up from a lot of types - From 18s to 180s to 90s and 9s!! Beat most of them in the Micro Levels but just couldn't find the game I was perfect at which could give me the best $$/Hr. I play some Mtt's here and there, usually on Weekends and aim to be a professional mtt grinder later this year!!

So the game I chose was 45 Man Turbo's as they were perfect for me. These were the first SnG's I used to grind and I still consider myself to be best at them though I am beating 9-Man Turbo's aswell at a decent ROI.

I will be sticking to the 3.5$ 45 Man Turbo's untill I reach 200 BI for the next level i.e. 1.4K BR for the 7$ Level. I currently have 300-310 BI's at the 3.5$ Level and as soon as I reach 1400$ I will take a 20BI Shot at the 7$ 45's and Move down if it doesn't work to grind it back up again. I will do the same afterwards and grind it up till 3K$ then move up to 15$ Ones.

The Grind : I usually have 2-3 Hrs per day to grind on weekdays and sometimes more than that. On weekends I can grind for upto 8-10 Hours so can put in great volume there. I usually 6-8 Table but I am looking to increase that but one step at a time. I will post weekly graphs of my performance and give daily updates. I might withdraw some $$s for my life expenses and a current debt I owe, weekly/monthly depending on how good I've ran but that shouldn't stop me from moving up!

The Goal : I am not going to keep any unrealistic goals that I cannot control such as reach 10K$ by the end of 6 months but instead I will be keeping the following goals which I know I can achieve
* Volume - Play atleast 25-50 Games a Day on Weekdays and 50-125 Games a Day on weekends !
* GoldStar - (Currently Silverstar) Reach Goldstar by the end of May 2013 and maintain it for the year.
* Study - Read Kill Everyone and Raiser's Edge by the end of May 2013 and get some HH Review's (Read 2 Books per month)
* Health - Eat Healthy and Exercise & Swim Daily to keep me fit and focused.

The things that are under my control are:
*Volume
*Effort (Motivation and Determination)
*Managing myself away from the tables to succeed
*Study
*Focus

P.S. - I stole that from another thread :P
So I will try my best and work hard to achieve these goals.

Alright I'm Out Fella's ! Wish me Luck

Goodluck, I think your volume goals are not realistic due to the number of tables you play at the same time and the hours you can put in max a week but will be interesting to see how it works out.

Congrats on your MTT bink the other day.

All the best.

Looks like you are Grinding to pay back $1.5k stolen money from a BAP you ran on ChipMeUP, well I guess you haven't just ran away and hiding from your debts, It would be nice to see that debt fully paid for from this challenge.

Thanks OditeRussia!!
No, I am not hiding away from anything but instead have made this thread to keep me focused on the grind so I can pay that debt back in full as soon as possible and move up the limits

@OditeRussia - Hey Mate, If you try to notice the guy in the exchange forum link is not me since I have my FrostyACOG name on all the forums. The Guy being accused of scamming is still a member and the guys accusing him are banned does that tell anything to you ?

I just owe 1.4K to CMU which I will be paying within the upcoming months. The other link is totally irrelevent
