[Closed] Varunklis SNG blog

Nice blog.

Surely you have moved up to a higher limit by now. Thats insane to still be grinding $1s with so much profit!

How many tables do you play at once?

..... And i started making new friends who are playing poker too, started playing live cash games , live tourneys . One day i was informed aboun tons of money in 2.2 $ 180 man turbo's . After friends coaching i started to play these mtt sng's . First day i turned on 12 tables - results : +70 $. I saw gold mine !

i was grinding these 2.5 moth ,playing up to 32 tables at once ,for 6-8 hours. Result : big problems with university , a lot of parties for poker money :).
In my country average salary is ~400$ , so i became a self employeed pro ♦

Things was going right . My first goals was number of games ( couz i read about setting a goals . Monetary goals are banned ♦). Started to pay attention to quality of games to get better ROI . Some good news reached me that in 3r's much higher roi is posible (now i hate these sng's ).

Start was great . It was good boost for my bankroll. I had good bankroll and i was feeling safe . Moved to flat with my friend-grinder (AugustasN) on stars .

my grind place

To be continued....

That's a lot of drinks out there.

Wow, some sick graph overthere.

Keep up the good work, jus prakeikti degeneratai

Daily grind.

now i'm playing daily session on pokerstars : screen name - Varunklis. If anyone have nothing to do can rail me . And if u detect some leaks(or strange played hands) in my game we can discus it . It will realy helps you and me

One interesting hand :

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 12 Tournament, 2500/5000 Blinds 500 Ante (3 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB (t77270)
BB (t89700)
Hero (Button) (t103030)

Hero's M: 11.45

Preflop: Hero is Button with 10, 10
Hero bets t10505, 1 fold, BB raises to t89200 (All-In), Hero calls t78695

Flop: (t182400) A, 7, 2 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Turn: (t182400) 4 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t182400) 4 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: t182400

i was opening wide and often . that was like a trap .. BB regular player . BB have to reshove wide couz he have equil stacks and one short stack left . no problem with JJ in this spot but what about TT ?

by the way now i'm on propbet against AugustasN in 12/180

First 2000 games this month

Time for FullTilt super turbo HU SNG's

.....history .... tough start in 12's. When you are playing low stakes (1.1/45 , 2.2/180 , 3r/180) you just cant detect your leaks . You have about 50 % ROI , you earn $ playing your game everyday ... And why should i search something in my game when everything is going right ?.
Lot of diferences in 12/180 , in these you can see how you beat the game . Positive roi is not enough in these games if you will have ROI arround 5 % ... your monthly grind will be one big downswing , and two days when you will be on upswing lower roi means bigest swings

and graph of 36/180 .. In these games variance is huge .. i think 10 k $ downswing is pretty standard

I've posted graph's of sngs which i love most
sum up :

my daily grind consists of 70-100 12/180 and 5-10 36/180
GOALS :

[]to reach supernova status this year
[]invest 2xmore

Good blog
Some pretty brutal break-even stretches in that graph as well as some big downers, good effort for pulling yourself through those. Sick volume, too ♦

edit: if u wanna review or do a sweat session some time my skype username is in my blog somewhere... I play STTs exclusively, currently $6.50s and $12s at full tilt.

gedwashere yeah... variance running whole month break even really makes me sick but higher variance means more money

after insane weekend ... back on track , playing some 12/180's and 36/180's on stars.

Bought some coaching videos for super turbo headsups

GOAL :
[]beat 100 $ limit this year

hi , this is my monthly rezults

Varunklis 2,095 $3 $12 20% $5,316 pokerstars , about 300 $ in Fulltilt

Gl Sir,

You play normal speed or turbo?

thanks for question i play only turbos .. have tried some normal speed mtt's and some 4.4 $ 180 man . In pokerstars turbo's with 5 minutes blind levels .. and in fulltilt sng in normal speed with 6 minutes blind levels There is no diference between these .. hourly rate in turbo sng's is better

royal flush of hearts

i think this will be the end of my downswing

havent posted for a long time ..
9000 vpp till supernova status , and huge stretch in 12/180 .

My next goal is to beat 600nl 6max . now i'm trying new strategies in 50 nl 6max.

after few days i will reach supernova status...

now i'm reading books and studying NL 6max and will try to move to mtt's and 6 max cash games

goals for next year
[ ] supernova elite
[ ] to beat NL5000
[ ] Top 10 in yearly mtt's leaderboard.
