As I wrote in my last blogpost I've started to play 10$ SnG's.
Why have I never played these before?
in 5 days ive made a profit of 1366$
With a bankroll now of 1836$
This is my Graph:
Im finally + again :D
My big losing streak took place for about 1 year ago, I was a spewing monkey who was tilted after a downswing of about 400$ when I played only HU 20$ SnGs
So what I did was to register to two 550$ 10max tournaments and obv went out pretty fast in both.
I donked around for a while playing HU sng's between 1000-1500 games played.
And 5 days ago I switched from my 20NL cashgame tables to try playing 10$ SnG's for a couple of days just to try something else. So I started playing the 6max and 30max/50max with some unexpected sucess. Ive won pretty moslty every 30/50max SnG ive registred to as you can see on the graph. And after 250 tourneys Ive made almost 1400$. Only on 10$ SnG's.
If you are a struggeling player on NL20-25 I def think you should try out the 10-20$ SnG's. They are very soft.
Im so happy right now, finally i've found a game that I completely crush!
Will stick to MTT's and SnG's. Still waiting for a nice big MTT win. That would be a great great boost.
I made a few calculations and I saw that I make 4x$/h in the 10$ sngs then I made on my old job^^
So only 799 players registred to the 250k gtd on ipoker yesterday with 100 payouts.
I ended 97th and Im really dissapointed. A 375$ profit cuz i got my seat from winning a satellite is decent I guess for a nl20 player. But I'm really unhappy with one of my last hands in the tournament..
So I was a little bit over average in chips and was ranked in 48th place when there was 101 players left. I had around 25BB left and I checked and saw that the 101th ranked player only had 1/10th of an Ante left so I decided to do something stupid.
I'd been playing really awsome the whole tournament and this guy who's been pretty solid and not showing down anything crazy over the time we sat together opened for 2.5xBB in CO+1 and it was folded to me (who was in the BB).
He had around 16BB left so I covered him with around 6BB or so. Then I decided to unclick my autofold button and instead overbet push 85s all in cuz of the 101th players stack and he snapcalled me with KJo wich I was impressed by, guess he owned me.. and I guess thats the difference by the avarage player in 5-15$ MTT's wich i usually play and this 320$ BI MTT.. And I looked very silly and I still hate myself for that move.
A guy in a lowerstake MTT would fold everything except KK and AA pretty much I think so I was very shocked when he just slapped me in the face with the KJo snapcall. Dunno if snapcalling 16BB with KJo on that EXTREME bubble is good or not cuz I had been playing reeeeeaally tight the last hours of the tourney.
around 4 hands later I was UTG with 4.5BB cuz of the antes and pushed K2s and got called by A8 in the SB and it held up. (Think I pretty much have to push any2 UTG with 4.5BB?)
But that 85 hand is eating me alive, I think its an "ok" move to do in that bubble situation where he is risking the whole tourney in 101th place and has to call 16 BB or so. I didnt expected him to fold his like, AJo+, 99+ hands or so but i really didnt expect to get a call by KJo..
I was pretty angry but I went out after 5 hours and got in time for the Superbowl wich my friends was watching (pretty much the only swedes that watches the superbowl i think? ) So I cooled down with a couple of beers and some chips infront a great great superbowl night and made a profit of 375$ wich is a very good session for me...
Though I had a great shot at going deeper if I just could have let go of the 85s hand, but I fell for temptation
BUT what REALLY irritates me that the KJ guy ended 4th and took home 15 000$..
Im a bitter man But you all know the feeling of doing something you regret!
Made more money in 3 days playing HU SnG's then I've made playing micro cashgames for like the last 3-4 weeks of not to much winnings..
Also I play the SUPER TURBO wich is really sick, but I have such an edge over my opponent and I've noticed that there is really 0 regs playing super turbo's and every1 is just terrible so I'll stick to them for a while cuz its just suuuuuch fast money
Been doing pretty good, def wininng 66% or more the last like 150 tours Ive played, also made a decent cash in a MTT lastnight.. Though I kinda was unhappy cuz I went out with AA vs QJs when me and the chipleader clashed into each other on the final table on AJT flop. He rivered the K so I was a little unhappy cuz if I've won that pot I woulda been dominating chipleader and prolly won or atleast made top 3 and won a couple of 1000$.. Cuz every1 really sucked at the final table
Hu sng's doing really good anyways, will stick to them for a while.
But I def feel im back on track, 4 doubled my roll in 1 month give or take a couple of days
Anyways, whats a good BR for Mtt's generally? Like 100-150 buy ins? Or more? Any good advice?
Played a 50k guarantee today, 2000 players entered.
Went out in around 400th place, top300 in the money..
And ye, btw, I went out on runner runner flushes when flopped trips and TOPSET the 2 last hands i played (right after one and another)..
First hand BB defended with A4o from my BTN raise with KJ, flops obv comes JJA, and he goes runner runner clubs in a ~70BB pot.
So im down to like 12BB, and with 2 limpers before me I push QQ all in in CO. Gets called by both limpers, 1 of them covers me.
They have 44 and A9o from the bigstack (rofl????)
Flop comes Q5T, and some nice runner runner diamonds seals the deal for A9o wich picks up a nice ~30BB pot.
So ill prolly curse poker forever. Won the first pot woulda made me 4th in chips btw. This tour coulda been a nice boost for my BR, but its never easy right?
Ok, this really made my day. Soooo sick, they are just sick sick ppl..

Today I wont write like an whole book, cuz tonights its party me and a friend is joining up with 3 nice girls tonight for lots of drinking and just having a great time. Then its off the the pub/nighclub. Will be nice, have been lying pretty much home sick sinse christmas, so feels great to be out in the field again :D
The last days have gone pretty bad, I've played tones of hands but there has been lots of badbeats and coolers. For example I checked out my biggest losers the today.
The list was not very nice:
1: AKo -57$
2: KK -34$ AND only 59% winrate, gone all in preflop 10 of 20 times (tells pretty much huh? SICK) most of flops where just perfect with flopping overpair on dry and nice board. Though the runners hasnt been nice to me.
3: QQ -21$
4: 88 -19$ (flopped 2 sets with 88 today, once i got sucked out on by a nice river straight, money went in turn. 2nd one i ran into AA who hit his set on turn, gratz to him.. not ^^)
But what do you do? I got the money in mostly when my hand was best so w/e.
AA is the only one that has been nice to me today =)only been dealt 5 times over 4.5k hands though wich is PRETTY sick right? but they where like the only big winners, stacked of 4 times i think of those 5 wich was nice.
been playing 14 tables today aswell and you guys maybe know the feeling when u just dont get cut some slack on like any table, puke! =D
Allthough im pretty happy with the end of my session, hope i will get to cooler someone later this weekend, tonight is beernight!
Picked up an decent comeback the last session.
Feels great to still be sticking in NL10 cuz the old me would not have the diciplin to play for so many hours with such shitty $/h. Now its all about building it slow!
