This was the last session I played for the month so in November went from BR $631.62- $695.46. Not terrible for avg buy in of $4.00.

Figured I might as well play SNG's working on leaks developing a better push/fold game first.

Here's my graph since I started grinding the 9-man turbos avg buy in $4.00 mixing $1.00 & $5.00 games.



2019 Goals
[ ]2,000 games total on sharkscope (right now 1,476)
[ ]win 100 bi's at $5.00 limit (right now +433.84 over 1036 games)
[ ]bankroll from $650 to $800
[ ]move up to $10 limit (right now shot-taking)
[ ]win $250 in promos (right now +80)
[ ]take more notes while playing on opponents shoving/calling tendencies
[ ]study calling ranges so I don't have to think so much about it ingame & know it immediately
So these were my 2019 goals im gonna have to grind my ass off this month if i wanna hit any of these..

Dec Goals
[ ]500 sngs (avg on a steady month has been 300-350)
[ ]+40 promos
[ ]beat peak br which is $782
[ ]cash a weasy 3 figures in a MTT

So the last month has been very bad volume wise just havent been feeling it. Either I'm playing like a madman on my free time or im not playing much. I got some days off so ill be grinding but 500 sngs aint happening this month. However, 775 BR goal may be reachable if I run decent.

wud up guys. Have some time for poker and this thread since I am out of work with covid-19.

Fell off the poker grind for a bit. Took most of Jan off and took feb totally off. Started 2020 with $1,192 with all the sites combined, my last post on Jan 3 2020 only reflects my WSOP bankroll.

My plan is to grind both MTTs & SNGs. Majority of volume will be sngs but I def want to incorporate MTT volume since the fields are soft where I play.

End of the day tomorrow I will come back with stats of April but it is looking very good.

For one hit my first 4 figure bink in a MTT which was cool. Secondly, already am up 50 buy ins for sngs this month which is a huge upswing. Today I took a bad beating -150 in MTTs but see what happens tomorrow. Plan to put in 50 sngs minimum to end the month roughly 450 sngs played. That would be close to 1/3 of my total SNG volume played in 2019 lol.

Spoiler:


Again here were my 2020 goals made in Dec 2019;
2020 Goals
[ ]3,500 games total on sharkscope (right now 1,680)

[ ]top 3 finish in MTT at least one game

This past month obviously I was sunrunning so I'm not one to say hey guys ive been playing so good.. Look. Nah, actually during this month I felt I needed to study more if anything. I went from 8 tabling to 10 tabling on my laptop. I have listed a bunch of 2020 goals but my True goal is to use some of my profit to buy a poker grind station. It will be cost effective b/c its just for poker dont need much just want to be able to go from 10 tabling to 16 tabling over time. Duel monitors is a must. Between 2 monitors, PC, motherboard, SSD, RAM, Mouse, wireless keyboard will be $694.93 which isn't bad at all imo.

Additionally beyond any poker goals MY real goal for May 2020 is to recover from covid-19 so I can lift, run and return back to work. It sounds weird to want to return to work when work is a prison/ institution but I miss the structure I used to have. Today marks 1 month since I've been out of work.

May/2020 Goals
[ ] 500 sng's
[ ]+25 buy ins at $5 limit
[ ] take shots at $25 when its not regfested
[ ] WSOP Bankroll= $1,296.36- $$1,421.36 (+2.5% roi @10.00 for 500 games) after running so good I know its inevitable im gonna lose some/ have BE points.
[ ] Total Bankroll= $2,436.67- $2,626.67
[ ] $20 promos

Was looking for players who frequent the WSOP SnG's, glad to came across your blog. I'm starting to grind the 5s a bit as well but probably won't be playing much when you're on.

How lucrative would you say the leaderboards are? I see you are placing but not necessarily near the top. ABI probably has a lot to do with that I would imagine. I see many regs average about 20% ROI so I'm using that as my target. Only have about a 25 BI roll but I might deposit some more to get the bonus.

hey bro this is my new thread more suitable to my sng grind.. this thread is a few years old.

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/1...takes-1768710/

to answer your question right now they are very difficult in order to be the top i have to grind every single day which is not suitable to my life balance. I do 4 day 8 hours per day then take 2-3 days off to chill with my family etc.

my goal is to place 15th here and there for a free tournament ticket otherwise it just becomes a volume challenge which is usually -ev in the longterm. you tend to overvalue playing when you should be working on your game thru sims or working on your mental game. You take less breaks and just on the hunt to get a $150 or $250 tournament ticket sacrificing too much IMO.

So what im getting at is it depends on your particular situation. If your all in and you cant do **** during this isolation period anyways i say go for it just remember to study and cut your session if something don't feel right. GL
