Well first I will give a little background:
I live in Argentina, so my native language is Spanish. Because of this you will probably encounter some spelling errors every now and then, sorry for the inconvenient.
I always played card games, like Magic and Pokémon. December 2008 I learned how to play poker by watching some videos on YouTube, then played on Facebook for about a month, then I found PokerStars and made and account, made some money from freerolls but I was sick and tired of how people play with play money. So while I was trying to find a way to get money from PayPal to stars I found this site.
The refer guy made it look like spam, but I was the best site I found on poker, articles, videos and everything for free! After passing the test, I found out I would no be able to use my PokerStars account, little sad but PS recommended PartyPoker.
I played SSS on NL10 for about one month, I went up, but I felt like 90% of the time I had some starting hand everybody would fold….
I also played over 3k hand on NL25, my BR pick was $151.
But still SSS was not the way I liked to play, boring…
I tested $6 Heads-Up (bad BRM) played over twenty of them, ended with $12 profit.
This was all in January, after that I went for vacations and did no play much. But one day I played with out much time, I played a non poker game, ended with $50.
Totally stupid, but sometimes it happens.
So march, tried SSS got up to $88, then dropped back down to $50. I kept going over my game with Elephant, I was playing the SHC. Some leaks, I was losing many BIs from BB, defending my blinds! I found this really necessary because sometimes it takes ages to get playable hands, without blind defense I was sometimes finding my $2 BI down to $1.30.
I also play SSS NL400 at the Casino, I made $650 profit over 3 nights. This was really cool, because I went with some friends with only one BI, so it was important to win the first hand.
Anyways, after a while I finally found the game I wanted to play.
Sit&Go
They where perfect, even really fun to play!? I get bad beats all the time! LOL
I started testing with the ICM trainer, reading articles and everything.
So I started to play only Sit&Goes on March 16. Decided too use BRM.
With only about $50 I felt brand new! I could only afford the $1 with 20 cent rake.
I have been playing only for six days, but its going good. My BR is at $117.
My best session was $16.80 profit after playing 23 of them.
So enough for the intro, I will be using this blog to improve my game, post hands, goals, etc.
Going for this month:
$150 BR so that I can move up to $3 turbos
1500 points so that I can buy a $100 bonus (currently 1300 points)
Try to have some luck with the Million Dollar hand promo, 7 hands with no winnings. (Five of those hands where made while playing SSS before March 16, now it takes forever)
Improve my multi-tabling; sadly I can only open 3 tables at the same time, due to the traffic on PartyPoker, theirs never more than 3 tables at the same time.
Note: I do not update this page, look at my last post to see my BR and latest news.
