Today i started a set of $7 9man KO's.
Towards the end i noticed i had registered for a $7 90man by mistake.

On sunday i am going to misclick on the sunday million _biggrin:

Played a few mtt today.

Made FT on one, which in hindsight i shouldnt have bothered with due to low stake and 6 hours :rolleyes:

I have been playing sets of 14 this week - 7 each of $3.50/$7 KO's.

The $7 games didnt have enough traffic to play in sets, it could take up to 30 mins from starting the 1st one to starting the 14th. This is why i played the $3.50, so i could get a feel for playing in 14 game sets.

Next week i think i will start off with $7 x10 / $15 x2 sets and progress to add in more $15 as i get closer to $1500. I just hope there is enough games starting at the $15 level.

New bankroll - $1226.28
fpp - 18074

I have been playing 70 fpp sats 3 to 4 hours before the start of sunday storm (lots of fish at this time).
Despite the softness ive not been doing as well as expected with only 8.2% win rate.

I couldnt play in sets due to the starting times of $7/$15 being staggered so much.
So i played 12 table continuous.

Lots of swings this week, up and down.

Now if only i could win more _cry:

Flop: (t7212) 10, 5, 8 (2 players, 2 all-in)

Turn: (t7212) J (2 players, 2 all-in)

This week i played sets of 10x$7 9mans / 2x$15 9mans.

Ran quite well apart from the $15 shots which was annoying.

Had some nice mtt runs

Playing and studying stt has improved my mtt play a lot especially mid game when i needed to change gears a bit.

At the moment i dont feel confident enough to move up to purely $15 games, this is probably down to my roi of -12% over 80ish games.

Due to a few confidence issues i decided not to move up to $15 stt.
9man format is very competitive and as such has improved my game to what i think is the best ive ever played. With this in mind i decided to try out some 18/27/45/180 mixing in various "good" mtt's.

Running like a kenyan so far :f_biggrin:

I am happy i decided to stop 9mans.
Mtt's and 18/27 are so much more profitable and fun for me. I seem to be running well and playing well so iam gonna stick with it.

$3.50/$7 18/27 stats are at the top of graph

The picture is a bit grainy for me, but it looks like 50%+ ROI? Sweet result man! I'm not sure it's sustainable, but keep playing well and running good, and make it last as long as possible!

Regards,
Richard
