Re: traps

Right guys heres my 1st blog and would like to just outline my background etc...
Ive been playing for around 2 years online (few local cash/tourney live games)and went thru the 1st steps of:
Playing freerolls
Then onto sng STTs
sng MTTs
MTTs
Cash FR
Cash 6max

Ive learnt a great deal however in this time but yet im still at the micros im afraid.... (not all my fault due to personal circumstances etc).
I did OK on the STTs and have scored some decent wins and places at the MTTs but the cash games were and are by far the hardest for me.

I have been mulling over what to do as for the last 8 months of cash grinding breakeven has finally got to me and tilted away most of my BR (which wasnt much lol dont worry) so now its time to set things right with the help of my friends...(this could be you reader) and since finding this site Steve has given me a personal challenge to go from $50 to $300 on the sng STTs.

Below ive taken a screenshot of HM tourny results (new database) since last night was the beginning of the challenge and my ACTUAL starting BR was $42 and very glad to see things went well lol...for now!!!!!
There are 1 or 2 different playing fields on there but just ignore them as i thought i had filtered them out... will be playing purely 10man STTs.

I will also be posting hands in the other section so would like a little help with them as im still a learning player trying to improve!!

If anyone is interested in sweating me or going over game replays then im also up for that!!

Re: traps

Welcome to the site traps! Good luck with your SNG grind. Like I said once you've played a few I'll pick up one of your hand histories and make a video for the site reviewing it with the help of a SNG regular if you like. smile Also there's always help in the live chat. I know Gadget has sweated a couple of guys on iPoker before and they got a lot out of it.

Re: traps

Hi all

I have an update to make its not good viewing im afraid...

After on ok start things have tumbled for me and over the last 3 days ive played only a few games here and there.

I felt a break would do me some good as things were starting to spiral out of control and i started noticing really silly plays and mistakes and tilt influences taking affect on me.  Ive been playing for some time and really hope one day to be able to get rid of these awful habits but we are only human and all we can do is keep trying.

Below i have a couple of screenshots just to highlight my progress.. (or lack of) and will take a deep breath and get going again.

I must make a confession, after only a couple of days i stopped reviewing all my games,,, maybe this is a big hint for me that i should be noting.  Will make ann extra effort into reviewing and bugger the volume, as the volume is only gonna bust me when im playing like a DONK!!

Re: traps

Yeah it means you're running like death. I'm assuming you've noticed running a lot of big hands into cr** and losing anyways?

18bi's isn't a lot to drop in SNGs but it is certainly a lot to fall below your all in expectation line in such a small number of games.

Re: traps

Right quick update:

http://www.fastermule.com/components/com_agora/img/members/47/mini_1-stt.jpg

As you can see ive had to drop down to $1 buy ins and also now playing the 6man stts.

Although its still not great im going to keep up the battle after realising some errors ive picked up through the video series and also with the help of a coaching session with gadget.

Gadget knows what hes on with and has shown me how to think about things in a totally different way.  Makes it harder but im sure this is just like taking baby steps yet again and will start to make a bit more improvement.

All in all things are ok and hope to update with some decent results soon.. GL at the tables!!

Re: traps

Well after forgetting to filter my results, i had a nice surprise on the 6man stts that i have been playing.
Also im playing the occasional 30man and although these are obv  very small sample sizes its still nice to see a healthy change!!

Re: traps

Hi All

After much thought i decided to leave the 10 man SNGs on ipoker as i didnt really feel the structure was giving me much experience as a beginner player and perhaps it may be suited to me once i get more of a grip on them with a slower structure.  Probably doesnt make sense and of course there can be an argument for my thoughts but its just how i feel so plz take with a pinch of salt.

So then.... where to go... I took some advice, which was to take the exact same principles from the 10mans and put them to use for the 18mans on full tilt and after a rocky start, heres the rsults so far, i would welcome any thoughts as usual plz!!
