Hi. (my english's not perfect so plz bare with me
)
My name is Jaka (u can also call me Jake) I'm kind of new on this forum.
I'm from the little country called sLOVEnia (Central Europe) ♦.
I'm playing poker since 2k10. I played lots of different games.
My major prize was winning one of the Full Tilt torunaments 5$ buy-in, about 1600 entrants and main prize was about 1500$.
I started on NL (FR/SH) Cash game, played about a month maybe, than I try FL (FR/SH), I also played SNG (STT, MTT) and I also tried my luck in tournaments. I just wanted to see what works best for me. I had some ups and downs, however I did not play all along 2k10, because, I had some financial hard times. So I cashed out all of the money by the end of sept. 2010 i think (till sept. I played about 150k+ hands).
On 19.jan.2011 I decided to go on "poker journey". My starting BR was only about 20$. So my best shot to build it up was to play STT 2$ SNG on Full Tilt. (On my experience of playing all kind of differend games i mentioned before, It seemed to me that STT SNG type of game is the best way to build it up). The reason I decided to write a blog is to be more organized, stick to my short and long term goals, motivate other players, motivate my self, share experience, and ofcourse to meet some poker friends on my very first
serious journey :). Special thanks to pokerstrategy coach lessthanthree "<3". When I read his blog (3-5AM), he motivated me so much I hit a
session right after (BTW very successful one :).
Now lets get down to businnes ![]()
My plan was to claim to at least 70 BI of next limit (STT 6,5 SNG) so about 460$
January (19.jan - 31.jan) Graph: Starting BankRoll = 20$
Start: 2+0.25$ (STT/FR/Turbo)

Sessions

In January I finished:
1st 47
2nd 35
3rd 32
ROI 20.60; ITM 43.01; Avg Finish 4.45
out of 268 (STT/T/SNG)
Net Won 124.20$ + RakeBack 18.09$ = 142,29$
February (BankRoll 20$ + 142,29$ (MoneyWonInJanuary) = 162,29$
Graph

Sessions

In February I finished:
1st 155
2nd 113
3rd 95
AVG ROI 30.28 (2$s 19.65 (692) & 6$s 47.02 (152))
ITM 43.01; Avg Finish 4.33
out of 844 (STT/FR/T/SNG); 2$s=692, 6$s=152
Net Won 770.60$ (2$s - 306$ + 6$s - 464.60) + RakeBack 67,23 = 837,83$
BankRoll = (Jan+Feb) = 162,29$+837,83$= 1000,12$
IronMan Status => Bronze
From 1-17 Feb. I played only 2$ SNGs, 17. Feb. my BR was about 470$, so I decided to mix-up 2's and 6's...
I've played (and run) pretty well (as you see on session chart above) so from 18.feb till now I played only 6's.
The thing I would like to add here is when I started to play 6's I allso started to watch SNG videos (since I reach GOLD status on pokerstrategy I watch all PS and FullTilt videos 6+). For a short time I played only 4 tables at once to improve my play and Push/Fold skills. I also played some HeadzUps to improve chances wining SNGs.
I think I made a right choice since my ROI increased ;)). From 25. feb. I play from 6-9 tables at once and my ROI, didn't crushed so far. However I played a small amount of tournaments so far so its to soon to talk about details. Right now my ROI is extremly high, so I think it will move down after time.
What Can I say... So Far So Good
