Hi call me Burton

I have been playing poker for around 6 months now and its only since last month i started taking seriously. I only played tourneys when i got my roll and done well in some of them but then would just slowly lose the money i won. I want to build my roll and then be able to plays MTTs as this is what i enjoy the most. So its time to put my game face on.

I have made 2 other blogs and here and i didnt keep up with them purely because i was running bad. I have decided to grind sngs mainly playing 9 man turbos. So this summer all i will be doing, is grinding, going gym keeping fit, playing football and of course to PARTYYYYYYYYY!!!.

So this summer i am attemptng to go LARGE!

My roll is currently only on $126.90
I am going to be starting off at $1.20

I will probably follow a 100BI rule so will move up to $2.25 when get to $225.I want to be playing as many sngs a week as i can.

Long Term Goals:

-Become solid Sng player with good ROI%

-Read/watch and article/video every day.

-reach a roll comfortable for $10+ MTTs.

Short Term Goals:

-Get to gold on PS to watch more vids, coachings etc.

-Reach $2.25 sng limit.

:diamond: My MTT Achievements:

-$2.20 Turbo NL, 2nd of 608

-$2.20 Turbo NL, 4th of 502

-$3.30 FL, 3rd of 72

-$2.20 Cashout NL, 9th of 756

-$1 rebuy daily dollar 50th of 4,563
thank you for reading, will try to update most days.

swing, swing, swing, each session i have played have been totally different for, really bad, avergae, just break even and big win. I am beggining to understand how much variance there are in these multi-table sngs. Here my graph for my overall progress so far.

Haven been playing much lately been busy partying with friends, my roll is now on $155 as i got $25 rake because i was playing FL earlier in the week,

I need to start putting in some more volume now and grind it out :)


Havent been playing as much poker as i would have liked to be lately been very busy and probably will be busy for the rest of this weeek :(

i run ok in last couple sessions my br is now on $158.95 my ROI% is 16.7%

So an extrra goal for me is to put more volume in and make sure i am playin 100+ a week preferable alot more.

Going to gym now i think keeping fit and working out, is good for poker, and your mindset so am going to keep up with it :)

grind grind grind.


good luck with the MTT SnGs Burton! they can be a cruel mistress sometimes.


oh i know :) lol i havent been tilting at all latetly i used to really badly tilt but now i am very relaxed about it and latley just feel more relaxed about everything in my life as havent got much going on at the moment so just chilling :)


Yesterday my HEM went funny as i didnt realise i needded to update it as FT had an update. So it missed some sngs i played one session and broke even.

But then later at night i played two tourneys. A FL $3.30 and a $3.30 rebuy rush tourney.

I busted in the rush afteer having one rebuy. But managed to come 3rd out of 72 (i think) any ways i cashed for $30, my graph on HEM doesnt show it because i didnt update yesterday so has big down swing in it lol.

Current Bankroll : $179.52


Just gone on bit of downswing. Got my roll just over $200 then played little FL, and then had like a 20bi downswing. my roll now $170


Ok my br has gone from $200 to $150 in like 2 days and not its not because of downswing, i have been playing every game nl cash, fl cash, sng, mtt.

i said i was going to be playing mtt sngs i am profitable at them but i just dont always have time. I have decided to move to turbo sngs 9 man. This will enable me to put more voulme into my play.

i am going on holiday to spain monday so wont be playing poker for week when i get back its 9 man turbo griind.


Just got back from holiday with the girlfirend now time to grind in my spare time this summer :)

:heart:August Goals:
:diamond: Get roll of 100BI for $2 sngs.
:diamond:Play 750 sngs.
:diamond:Hold at least 4 sweat sessions in Sng group.

Current BR:$160
