Quick Update: Solid Start



Only played 6 hours this weekend, but it was a solid start for a new game. I started with just 1 tournament and now have worked my way to 8 games at once. Im struggling a bit with having 3 or 4 tournaments headsup at the same time. I think in time will come to me better, and maybe i will add more tables. Also my headsup game i admit is a little off, mostly because of all the DoN's the last year and a half. I ended the weekend with a 54%ROI with only 40 tournaments. Its a good start, and something to build on. Im going to work on improving my heads up play, adding more tournaments and improving everything even more. Hopefully June will be very promising.
Good Luck to All!

DoN Project Over Next Game

After this months continuous struggles with DoN. I am ending the DoN project as have so many others. However, DoN's have helped me alot, for the first time it gave me a true bankroll. I am planning on returning to 6man turbo sit n gos. These tournaments I did previously at a 29%ROI. That was only 332 games so not a true ROI sample. However, at that time i was a 1 game at a time player. I will need to really be able to learn to play multiple tables at these smaller tables that require faster decisions. I believe I can accomplish this and return a solid ROI%. Plus these games will also allow me to return to the Battle of The Planets Leaderboards. Leaderboards allow me to put money aside and focus on earning pts, and the money plays itself out. I will for sure not bring back this high a return, however I am confident I can bring back solid profitable poker. Right now, that is exactly what I need.
Good Luck Everyone!

Turbo Mania

April was my second straight month struggling. But only with certain games, it didnt produce the results but did show some very obvious trends. First of all, i struggled big at non turbo tournaments, but i did have some solid success in 5.2T DoN, as well as some omaha success. For this month, im looking to build on this and already in 2 days a solid beginning. Im looking at massive amounts of 5.2T DoN's, and throw in some Omaha DoN's during the day on weekends when the traffic for that game is the highest. Its been a tough few months for me, but i feel this month will be much better. I am going to Vegas for a week this month, so that will take away from some of my hours, but the other 3 weeks im going to put in as much time as possible. Some good trends ive been able to key on. I minimize the table when im all in thus not to worry about it, and remind myself how i did the right play. Im also no longer recording my sessions by sets, rather just adding up my tournaments played and checking my email records later to see how many . Today ive played 60 tourneys and have no clue how much money ive won or lost. This is good for me, im prone to quitting after a bad set or stopping early if ive won enough for the day. This will keep my hours up this month.
Good Luck everyone
