Hi guys,

Long time lurker and recreational poker player here! I tried playing some sng's once. It was fun, but i'm not good at it. In real life i'm someone who doesn't have alot of patience in general. With poker i need to have more patience and i also need to study the game more. So that's exactly what i'm going to do.

My main goal is to play the 9 and / or 18 mans turbo sng's on Pokerstars (1,50). I don't play more than 6 tables at once!

Main goals:

- Become a winning player over 1500 games (lolsample i know. But alot for me)

- Do not play more than 6 tables at once

- only play the 1,50 9 and/or 18 man sng's.

- After 1500 games, i'll decide what stake to play

- Study alot, read poker books and watch video's

- Make this the best thread on 2p2

Starting roll:



When i'm fully confident that i understand sng's, i'll start making goals moneywise.

Some personal stuff:

I'm 22 years old, currently studying fulltime in The Netherlands. I live with my girlfriend and like to hang out with my friends in my spare time. Besides poker i love photography and film alot. It's my passion, and with a little bit of luck i want to get an internship in the movie business.

I love to travel. Before i went to school i used to travel alot! But it's time for a degree now

So, first session is done

I think in general i played okay. With a few spots here and there that could have been played better. Like this hand:

Poker Stars $1.32+$0.18 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t100/t200 Blinds + t25 - 8 players

MP1: t3100 M = 6.20

Hero (BB): t5144 M = 10.29
UTG: t6306 M = 12.61
UTG+1: t1730 M = 3.46

Pre Flop: (t500) Hero is BB with 3 3
2 folds, MP1 raises to t1000, 5 folds

Still i think i could shove here. But i still have 15bb's.

My graph for today:

I hate this

So, today went well Without knowing it, i regged the 3,50 STT's. Luckily for me, it went well

So, i broke the rules regarding playing 6 tables maximum. I played 12, which seems okay. If my concentration slips away, i just take break.

So, i had a soulread today. Don't know if it was +ev, but it was definitely fun . It was a regfish trying to steal the blinds, i iso'd, he re-popped and i shoved. I knew that he was raising with weak sauce, and he had a timing tell. Like i said, this is not +ev, and i won't do this again if i'm not a 100% certain.

I'm actually really happy with my play at the moment. I know the basic sng strategy, and i'm trying my hand at advanced strategy know. Knowing how to isolate, shove speculative hands, exploit the bubble etc.

All about the upswingaments played a small amount of games, and i'm happy the way they turned out
