[Closed] Coffee Sweat and Tears - A epic SNG tale

Tourneys played : 40
ROI (%Ev adjusted) : 11.9% (8.1%)
Winings ($EV adjusted) : 8.30$ (5.68$)
Time played : 3.0
$/hr ($Ev adjusted) : 2.75$ (1.88$)

My review:

The results is good, the $Ev stayed in plus, I have used SNGWizz to help my push/fold game.
I also located some errors in the early game and that is to underestimate my opponents,
I get a bit carried away when I see 3 people all-in preflop with A6o vs TT vs 76s again and again,
and then I just think they are all people with too much time on their hand.

I'm a bit disappointed with the volume of my game, could have played more, I’ll manage to improve there.

Good luck to the people of PS and its users.

Note to self = Press the reply post butten, not the new thread botten..

I'll just jump right into them

• Try to locate a coach and find information about how much it’s going to cost or if he’s willing to make some kind of a deal
• Get to the 3.40$ SNG FR Turbo
• Get Silver Star status on PokerStars
• Focus on the areas where my game got issues

That should be possible enough.

My review

It’s been a nice day
Hopefully it’s because of my improved mindset and the fact that I use SNGWizz to help locate some error.

There is of cause a lot of room for improvement but the important goal is to continue down this learning path, that I’m building for myself.

And a little thing, and I know it’s nothing, but I find it funny ♦

I know it’s nothing, but also kind of cool to be on it.

Good luck to the people of PS and its users.

My review

I hate those days where you just keep getting called by AA when you get KK, and no action on your AA's, but they come and go, and you just need to grind trough them.

The last set was nice helped the graph out a bit.

Then the bonus is rakeback, played a 230 FPP hyper-Turbo sat to a 11$ Sunday tournament, and then unregistered.

So if anyone knows a better way to use your FPP on PokerStars let me know

My review

The two first sets was just poor play, and the last was gay..

Had a funny moment tough, I wrote a comment last night about me being unlucky about every time I get KK someone else get AA.
So today I picked AA made a standard raise, got a re-raise all-in I called, and the guy showed AKo and I thought "Oh there is fairness in the world again" but on the turn the second king showed and I just started laughing and shaking my head.

My review

Last set was nice because I won! I hate to lose.

Second set was quite annoying, didn't get a single AA, or KK. Shit happens.

Week review

• Use SNGWizz to check all my games played
  Yes, but I'll stop doing it because I realized I pretty much did the right thing according to it, but it did help me get a bit more aggressive
• Have a EV$ in +$ and try not to focus on the green line
  Yes and I feel guilty, am I the only one who feels bad when I get lucky..?
• Post updates into my blog (This one will kill me) even though it’s not good results
  This one was the one I feared the most, mostly because I normally just stop writing in it because of getting bad results (I am somewhat of a braggart)

My Review

I don't recall them but they seem fine, and my review of them was not to many errors.

So it’s been sometime since my last update, and I have playing my ass off in the 3.40$ that I just started on and my first graph of those are ready now.

The 3.40$

Tourneys played : 160
ROI : 12.2%
Winings : 66.20$
Time played : 12.3
$/hr : 5.37$

my review

I'm confused I really am, because as you can see the $Ev is very low and I have review both by Universal hand reviewer and in HEM, and I don't think I’m playing bad.

My only thought so far too why my red line is so low, se because of a few tournaments where the $Ev is -3$ and that’s pulling down the others.

But I guess there is only one why to find out if I’m just being lucky or not and that is to keep grinding and get a bigger sample.

And the total graph so far this month.

Tourneys played : 480
ROI : 11.3%
Winings : 124.50$
Time played : 36.1
$/hr : 3.45$
Rakeback : 21$

Total winnings : 145.49$

My review

I think I played most of the time my A-game, but I'm really concerned about the red line.

If anyone maybe could give me some feedback on how much I should think about HEM's $EV or if it’s more a guide line..

But if I only was goal oriented I would be very pleased because I both have started and have quite good profit in the 3.40$ and that I now got Silver Star on PokerStars.
I would continue to play but I would really appreciate it if some people would respond to me about the red line.

Good luck to the people of PS and its users.
