basically started this challenge/thread to keep me motivated. i recently turned 18 and have about 6 months till i get into college.
i started playing online poker at the beggining of this year after having played live poker for 2 years. i have been coached by a good friend since then and started grinding out the 4.4$ RoDs about 2 weeks ago.
i really love the format because it attracts fish and because impatience is my biggest leak really. i'm 4 tabling the 4.4$s atm and its much more fun than 12-16tabling 90mans or 180s on stars imho plus the games are ridiculously soft.
so far so good. i've been kind of on a heater the first week i was playing and am running at ~150% ROI over ~440 games in these atm. SN: random btn
my goals are:
- put in some decent volume, at least 150-200games a week
- move up to the 12$/26$ level very soon
- stop losing money in mid-high stakes MTTs
- win 10k $ more till july 1st
i'll try to update this thread daily, posting results, BR status etc.

so today has been kinda meh. after running good over the last 2 weeks i had my first losing day today. cashed some 4.4$s but baby cashes only because i ran like **** once i got ITM. AA<77 after he put in 40% of his stack pre, AK < 67s (he CALLED my 30BB 3bet shove), set < FD etc. played the 26$ superstack early antes today w/ 4 bullets and didn't cash (ran really bad in these too, getting coolered/sucked out on pretty hard). won't play regular MTTs anymore till i've built a fat roll.
BR: 2950$
/e: RoDs are rush on demand MTTSNGs on FT.

Can I ask why you are playing so low with that BR? I mean, I'm a BR nit, but I'd still be playing the $11s on that BR. Regardless, best of luck to ya.

i guess im not comfortable with the swings yet, but i'm planning to move up when i hit 300 BIs for the level.
put some decent volume in today, bubbled once and got 4th and 7th. kinda ran bad at the FTs and gonna play another session later.

made another 4th place along with some baby cashes yesterday. couldnt win a single flip/60:40 at the FT. just finished a little session and the runbad seems to continue. QQ into KK for #1 in chips, AK < AJ with ~15 left, AA < AK and KK < A6 for pretty huge pots. not to mention some cruel OP < UP and OP < TP hands in mostly early stages. probably jinxed myself w/ this thread.
BR sitting at 2900 now.
