Hi there,

My name is Marco, 25 years old and i'm from Portugal.

Decided to start a new blog on the english community, hopefully you guys like it. A couple notes about me:

  • Started playing in 2006 with freerolls, decided not to deposit but instead learn the game while playing freerolls only. Took me about a year to raise $200, which was my real money starting Bankroll
  • In 2007 i reached about 1000$ bankroll playing No limit Cash games, then decided to buy a computer and withdrew a big part of my bankroll. Not the best decision, and lack of motivation lead to a year break
  • At the end of 2008 i got back to poker and even though i had a 400$ bankroll decided to return to freerolls for a while. Fortunatelly won a freeroll on a promotion for 1000$.
  • In 2009, i found myself being very conservative on Bankroll Management (think i was playing $5 HUSNG's with over 2000$, so i decided to start playing backed so i could increase limits faster.
  • A few months later decided to take a shot at the 180-man turbo sng's. Started off really well on the $2.5's, which was fulcral, and in the same month i was able to sell action for the 7$ and 12$ 180-man SnG's. Kept running pretty good and became a 180-man SnG grinder.
  • In 2011 i had a very low volume year, and the results weren't going very well, so decided to get some coaching and it was in September 2011 that i decided to take poker more serious. Since then i have been playing pretty much everyday at least 20 SnG's.
  • I'm currently the SnG hand evaluator for the portuguese community on pokerstrategy.

I'm gonna leave here my sharkscope graphs:

This last month was basically my most consistent month ever.

A few months ago i won the $55 Hot turbo for 8000$ so that month was more profitable than last month, but September was the month i had more wins in 180-mans.

Pretty sick run. Yesterday had a +1875$ day, shipped a $35 180 and was soooooo close to a big score on the hotter $16.50.

Was 1/16 with around 20bb's stack, UTG shoves 5bb's, i call on the BB with 66 and he shows KQ. KQx on the flop and i was in 6th place. A few hands later the chip leader opens in MP, i shove TT for 15bbs, and he had KK. GG me :( (1rst place was 16k).

Hopefully i'll continue my good run in october :)

A win on a $15 today.

Session was going terribly, opened 20-21, and was down to like the last 5 with 2 1500 stacks and 10k stacks on rebuys, which isn't also particularly good, but had a good run on a $15.
