Hi all,
I'm back with another Blog & Goals post, this time focusing on my new objective of getting better at SnG.
I've now been playing poker for about 2years and have learned a lot since i started. I've tried live, online, cash and tournaments, at different stakes. I'm showing a modest profit of 3,000$, although i must say that my volume has not been very high, and most of these winnings came from a lucky Macau session.
I have previously tried (and failed) to put in serious volume on cash tables online, but my schedule is quite restricted and i found it tough to really focus for short sessions. Deep stack poker is also pretty complex and i couldn't find the time to properly study at the same time.
I recently tried playing SnG, one of the formats i haven't tried much so far and I like the fact that it's a simpler game and i can dial in for short sessions at a time.
I am investing all of my bankroll into this challenge, and will give up if i bust.
I am playing 5€ expresso on Winamax and taking shots at 10$ on Global WPT due to a 25% RB deal. Volume on this platform will be low due to lack of games, and no trackers allowed which annoys me, but i feel the field is softer.
My goals will be to:
• Structure a detailed study plan
• Increase volume progressively
• Make progress on the mental game
Study plan:- Act1 - Study preflop 3way - at 25/20/15/10/8BB depths
- Learn BU RFI ranges
- Learn SB vs BU RFI ranges
- Learn BU response to it
- Learn SB RFI ranges
- Learn BB vs SB RFI ranges
- Learn SB response to it
- Act2 - Study preflop HU - TBD
Volume goals: reach 1,000 spins
Results so far: - up 155$ in 67games on WPT
- Down 115€ in 83games on Wina
My CEV is looking good for the moment on Wina so i trust in my strategy.
It's a bit repetitive to learn these pre-flop charts for the moment, but I feel they give me such an edge over the field with villains who either call too much or fold too much, so i need to learn where the balance is first.
I'll report with some updates on the study, volume or mental game !
