the blue line excluding the rake means what you would have won without paying any rake. And if you click on the profit text you get the actual profit displayed on redline where it takes rake payed into the calculations.

If you input any Rb% you get a greenline showing the profit+rb like i post them on my blog.

oh now I get it , thanks

Watched 3 out of 20 videos I got and played 3 sessions yesterday. I feel pretty good at the tables now but I have spots where I have no clue what to do so I have to post more hands.

Also I restricted myself from playing cash games and MTTs ( which you can do in pokerstars lobby) so I can focus only on SNGs.

CO: t3060 M = 7.65
BTN: t2555 M = 6.39
Hero (SB): t3420 M = 8.55
BB: t4465 M = 11.16

Pre Flop: (t400) Hero is SB with 8 8
2 folds, Hero raises to t500, BB raises to t1000, 1 fold

This table was very tight and I could take down a lot of pots preflop. Since villain didn`t really play any hands on the bubble I assume that his minraise shows a lot of strenght, I put him on TT+ AJs+

Just watched first two episodes of "From tight to right" by Skitz0frenik and its some good materail. Just downloaded my free 30 day SngWiz2 and went trough 4 sngs I played yesterday. Gonna play some sessions soon

Have been away for 3 days to my hometown for a friends birthday, had a good time but now its poker time for me again. Watched 1 more video and played a session , didnt go really good but gonna review that session before playing the next one

Its been more than a week since I started this blog and I can say that I learned a lot of new things. I`m reviewing every sng I play in SNGwiz and I find a lot of mistakes which is very good since I can correct them.

I did more studying this week than playing and I`m slowly apllying these things into my play. Yesterday was a good day made over +13BI in like 7 sessions. Today I only played 1 session which was in the morning, ran pretty terrible and noticed some tilting so I didnt start a new session after.

Yesterday I also watched a live seminar here in pokerstrategy from 2 of the mindset coaches from pokerstrategy - Erik Stenqvist and Primoz Bozic (Schnitzelfisch). I`m actually in the productivity group of Schnitzelfisch on skype. Pretty cool seminar from them, took some good information from there which I can apply for myself.

So its good so far, got to keep it up and just grind, grind and grind

Yesterday was a really good poker day for me. Made over +30 buy-ins over 50 games and decided to play 100FPP sattelite for 11$ Sunday Storm 300k guaranteed. Long story short I won the sattelite and finished 511th out of 34767 people cashing in 104$

So I basically tripled my bankroll in 12 days, now I`m standing with 220$ and gonna still play 1.50$ and take some shots of 3.50$ sngs

Last hand of the 11$ tourney

Took some shots at 3.50 with 60 buyin roll , did pretty good, got like +15 Buyins in like 3 sessions. So its good so far. Havent really learned anything in the past days, only reviewed some tourneys I played, got to get back to learning to not get rusty.

Had a really good past days , managed to hit 309$ bankroll playing 3.50$ sngs, which is overall 234$ in 17 days so far(not bad at all). Bad things is that I stopped to improve because I run good which is bad (but its good that I understand that). But I still run trough my hands at SNGwiz from time to time, got like 10 days trial left. Gonna start to take shots at 7$ sngs when I hit 420$ bankroll.

Having some bad days lately, lost about 30 Buyins, and moved down to 1.50$ again to get myself back together. Spotting some tilt issues which has to be taken care of.
