Hi everybody,

Just wanted to let you know I have turned my starting 50$ into a little bit more than 1k playing MTT and S'n'G. As you see I had some downswings and ups but thats poker.

Most of my winnings came from 4.40$ Rush S'n'G 135 entrants, I have also played two final tables of 3.30$ Turbo MTT about 900 entrants, 4th and 6th place, and once I was winner of 1.1$ MTT about 900 entrants.

On the other side my cash game isn't so good yet, I have lost entire RB and some of tourney winnings in cash games, NL10 and NL25. I'm 20BI under EV but still my game isn't that good.

So that is my next goal: improve cash game skills and keep grinding MTTs and S'n'Gs.

561 tourneys, yeah it was, I just couldn't get ITM, I thought I'm the worst player when I can't beat even 2-5$ S'n'Gs. But I didn't lose hope, I did some reading and analyzing and the results have came.

Just goes to show the volume you need to put in. $1 per MTT x 1000 MTTs = $1K. Well done! :f_biggrin:

Thx everybody!

BTW I just came home from local poker club, I have played I big little tournament they host. BI is 20$, 750$ guaranteed, one re buy first three levels, but only to initial stack if you are under it.
I have reached final table and finished 5th out of 54 players, prize 90$ (net 70$). Didn't have many good starting hands, but I was successful in stealing during tourney and have played good ICM оn final table.

So this is definitely good time for my poker.

Cheers

Well done!
Like Steve said, around the half-way point it could probably have gone either way...
Coming down from $400 to $50 is definitely not an easy thing to deal with.
That's probably where most players go broke. Good job turning it around.
Good luck.
