Hi everyone

I started to play poker with pokerstrategy since february. In february i played a lot, half time studying poker the other half playing. In march I went to college and havent found time to play poker, so I played very little this month.
After one month without playing poker, now I have one week break in college, and im dedicating this week in playing poker. My goal is to unlock the starting capital, or get closer to it.

What Im playing:

With a $109 BR, im playing $1 SNG Turbo at partypoker.

How im playing:

Im currently multabling 4 tables. Since theres a promotion called The Gladiator, im trying to achieve 10 points or higher, playing more than 25 sessions.

Whats the results so far:

Started BR:$105

4/4 - $6 profit, playing 27 sessions. BR:$111
4/5 - $2,86 lost, playing 26 sessions.BR:$109
4/6 - $3 profit, playing 30 sessions.BR:112 (Started to play 5 tables at once)
4/7 - $8 loss, playing 27 sessions. BR:104
4/8 - $5 profit, playing 25 sessions. BR:109
4/9 - $3 loss, playing 30 sessions. BR:106 (Started to play 6 tables at once)
4/10 - $4 loss, playing 55 sessions. BR:102
4/11 - $3 loss, playing 30 sessions. BR 99 X(
4/12 - No computation, but went down like 94 X(
4/13 - No computation, but went up to 105 :)

here is my graph. In the end you can see almost no climbing

Is it normal to loss some money even when you have a relative high volume?

Cya :)

Absolutely. You can have variance-based downsings that last an entire month, much less a small session.

You can also earn them pretty easy by playing cash games. If you play at 4 tables at the same time at 0.05/0.10 or 0.10/0.25 you can earn those points pretty fast.


Last session I gave you my money,
but the very next day you gave it away.
This time, to save me some cash
I'm going to kick your asses.

On a 1000 sample size, variance still exists?

Its been 6 days since im playing about 25 tables a day. Im updating my daily results.

What I noticed is the huge rake that I pay. $30, and almost no rake back :(

Is my results normal? Its almost breakeven here :O

my advice is to move to stars and play the $1.10 or $1.20 SnGs (especially the DON) and learn to mass multitable (10+ tables)

I just found a big leak. I was predetermined to go all in with AK every time. Major mistake

AK when against 1 opponent is THE NUTS preflop against one opponent in the micro limit SnGs

Yes
Very often they will call me with QJ+, AT+, KQ, and 22+

Very often they will call with pocket pair, wich is a flip for me and therefore bad, very bad.

And yet, very often there is multiple callers, mostly on early phase, bad too.

- $4 loss X(

I played A LOT today, tilted a little bit but I think Im loosing too much.

Studied a lot, watched some videos, reviewed my last sessions and see just a minor leaks.

Damm, can this be a downswing?

Im really starting to think to play other game :evil:

Lol! I like your attitude ♦

Don't worry about few losing days in row.. that happens too often to change the game because of that. In fact, you'd run out of available games after few months ;)
