Let's start with Turbo STT's again.

My main goal is to keep it simple and improve step by step!

I'm very glad of myself for today. Thank you.

Goals for this month:

1. Read the book of Collin Moshman "Sit n' Go Strategy". > 35th page reached ( Low-Blind game starting hand involved)
2. Analyze every played session. > analized all previous sessions through the day ( played a good one hour session with lots of interesting hands to analize tomorrow) ; )
3. Play 5 times per week, at least one hour. > Played an hour with good attitude! PokerStars - $0.44+$0.06|200/400 Ante 25 NL - Holdem - 2 players

4. Write in my blog every active poker day. > Simply done
5. Try to be as spesific as possible when learning new concepts, explaining something or setting a new goal. > I'm pleased with myself again.
6. Stop thinking too much and taking more poker action! > Good attitude kept on, although I could spend more time for poker if social life was limited.

Great. Tomorrow will try to focus on poker early in the morning. Jogging in the mountain and training will be done in the afternoon.

Boombastic!

Be water my friend

Hello poker world, nice to be around you again.

Just before i submit my post, the internet connection went down. Things like these happen every day ♦

My main goal is to keep it simple and improve step by step.

Today has been a fantastic, boombastic, smooth and ready to groove day!

Goals for this month:

1. Read the book of Collin Moshman "Sit n' Go Strategy". Reached page 51. Really interesting book, I enjoy reading it and learning new stuff.

2. Analyze every played session. I gave up analizing push/fold situations with ICMtrainer, it just takes too much time. From now on, only 15bb+ hands will be analized from the sessions. As for push/fold stage, I will practice on ICMtrainer until bying a software for this is affordable.

3. Play 5 times per week, at least one hour. Played for an hour today. I'm pleased with my game.

4. Write in my blog every active poker day. > Simply done.

5. Try to be as spesific as possible when learning new concepts, explaining something or setting a new goal. > I'm working on this, needs improvement.

6. Stop thinking too much and taking more poker action! > Morning time will be filled with high level of poker productivity the upcoming week.

Just to mention:

a. Jogging to the mountain and back and training is being done in the afternoon.

b. My motivation is pretty high. There is no need of motivational book at this point.

c. My organization abilities will be tested tonight and during the next week. I'm going to make a plan for every day until the next Sunday.

d. Tomorrow night there is a full moon!

Keep up the good work and good things start to happen. Usually, it's about the point of view!

Thank you all.

Goodnight

Hello dear poker friends. I'm a little bit frustrated because of my deeds the last three days, but I'm more motivated now! I multitabled a lot, and that's fantastic. I really enjoy it. I was kind of sick, without any good mood most of the time during these three days, but I manage to get back to my everyday routine from today.

As you can see probably, I'm a little bit not certain about what I really want and my thoughts are many many ♦
One of my life goals is to be honest with people and especially my friends, without getting into the habbit of thinking what would they think about it(although this is pretty +EV in poker) haha. Also, another life goal of mine is to improve and heal absolutely my sight. Since a child I was wearing glasses, but NOT ANY MORE. The power is in our head, as all the answers. Also, another of my life goals just for the near future is to make female friends and not get involved in relationship drama or sex games ♦ (No, I'm not planning to become a gay, but that's the way I think is good for me right now!)

Let's get back to Poker. I will stick to most of the tasks I have set to do during these month, but I will change the gear a little bit. So my Bankroll is $22 and I plan to make it $200 until 8.2.2015! I will play at least 5 hours per day, multitabling from 6 to 9 tables, $0.50 playing 45-90-180-360men regular speed and turbo SNG's (I want to see how regular speed MTT SNG's adjust to my way of thinking and playing). If my Bankroll goes down to $10, I will start playing $0.25 and $0.10 MTT SNG's. What else... I will start looking at some analized SNG hands in the forum and make a Blog in the Bulgarian Forum, since I have this opportunity.

Hard work will pay-out and that's what I'm about to do! I am serous enough and this is not excitement, this is enthusiasm! YEahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Have fun brothers and sisters during this amazing life we live : )))))

I forgot to mention that I totally stop to eat sweets, except from fruits!
If anyone reads this, please leave a comment. Whoever has more experience, please tell me if the changes in my poker-plan for the month are more probably to keep me being a fish-than improving overall poker carreer. Please be kind to give some advice

Thanks in advance.

Hey stameninho,

If I was you I would play with caution. Your bankroll is a little short for some of the formats you are playing. As a guide I use:

45 man reg = 40 BIs
45 man turbo = 60 BIs
90 man reg = 75 BIs
90 man turbo = 100 BIs
180 man reg = 120 BIs
180 man turbos = 175 BIs

These are my personal preferences and others will have differing opinions, but most will agree that your bankroll is a little on the light side.

So make sure you play good and run good and I wish you the best of luck Subscribed naturally. ♠_biggrin:

Cheers

Laz

As a follower of Lazza's blog, I know that these guidelines work out pretty well for him, but I'd like to point out that even those rules are typically considered to be relatively loose.

I normally use 50 BIs - but currently even more - for regular speed 9-man SNGs, which are much less variance-heavy.

In his 180-man SNG course, tomsom87 recommends at least 300 BIs for aggressive BRM, but mentions that using 500-600 BIs would be better to be on the safe side, while even super tight BRM guidelines that use 700-800, or possibly even up to 1k BIs are fine for big multitablers (around 35 tables at once). Personally, I find these guidelines to be a bit overly tight, but I can't really comment on that since I'm not a 180-man SNG player.

Meanwhile, our MTT coach Asaban recommends using 150 BIs for scheduled MTTs in his beginner's course.

I don't know how experienced you are yet, but are you sure that you can handle playing that many tables right now? You should only add a considerable number of tables once you're confident that you beat your limit, so I'm not sure if it makes sense to do that when you are currently experimenting with different formats.

How exactly do you play your sessions, btw? Do you play successive tournaments, or sets? And do you use a cascading or tiled table layout?

If you're going to play MTSNGs I'll follow your blog. Good luck

I love how you re-emphasize your MAIN goal at the start of every post - great reinforcement. I hope it is not just a cut-and-paste but something you physically type out each time!

2. Analyze every played session. I gave up analizing push/fold situations with ICMtrainer, it just takes too much time. From now on, only 15bb+ hands will be analized from the sessions. As for push/fold stage, I will practice on ICMtrainer until bying a software for this is affordable.

Why not check out my free ICMizer 2.0 1-week trial? There isn't much competition for it right now (i.e. NONE), all I ask is that you post about a study practice you have. (the link to it is in my signature below.)

So my Bankroll is $22 and I plan to make it $200 until 8.2.2015!

Many people have goals tied to bankrolls and timelines - I'm not a big fan of them since, in my opinion, it puts the emphasis on the results and not on the process. Your goals should be on the actions that you can control (like improving certain aspects of your game, hours of study, etc...). If you do, the results will eventually come.

As for your bankroll management - I play single table tourneys and my BRM is 75 buy-ins to start taking stabs at higher level, 100 buy-ins to move to higher level, 50 buy-ins to drop a level. I agree with previous posters that MTT's would probably require much higher number of buy-ins before moving up.

Enjoying the blog so far and good luck!

Hey beautiful children of mother earth, it seems like I am on the right track. Life is really amazing because we have nothing to lose, except ourselves from inside. All we do is learning and adjusting what we have learned, so we can learn more and adjust more. Just like everything around us going in circle.

Thanks you guys for the quick responses, I really appreciate it

Took the time to consider pros and cons of my everyday attitude. Got to the point where I see what I really want: Balance!

Here's something interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision-making

So make sure you play good and run good and I wish you the best of luck

Thank you Laz, I wish you the best of everythings : ) ) )

Hey Harrier88,

I have some experience multitabling, but that's not what I need for now. 2 tabling is fair enough with the 40buy-ins that I have for these format of the game. I want to be certain I beat my limit, to move up as you say I play sessions of one hour 2 tabling. "|what are successive tournaments and what are sets? I use the tiled table layout, so I can observe what's going on the whole tme.

Crrrrrrrrr,

Maybe MttSnG's will be played after I reach the improvement level I want in single table SnG's. Good luck to you too
