I'm still alive but terribly bored by poker. -35BI under EV on 24s. So many soft tables today but against JJ+ is hard to play...
Notifications
Clear all
I was studying a lot last days and really like it, I feel very confident at tables.
Unfortunately Gods still hates me. :). Maybe my worst run (after flop) ever but who cares.
I should continue studying at least 1 hour per day, it really motivates me. I wanna break this **** a move up on 36s. ♠_evil:
Some graphs:
today:
$20+ (turbos+normal):
24$ turbos:
I love 20$ normal, so far I crush them, despite low volume I feel I can beat them quite easily.
btw I made my record - 1720 FTPs/day 
Awful run continues. Decided to play only 11s turbos and 20s normal due to bad run and cash outs. This month I will still play 3 days exactly 250 FTPs then relax and having fun, no more poker.
Sick run continues, another 10BI under EV session
How I run this month, so typical:

Only this hand makes me a little happy
Edit: I wanna study more about MTT, I think it can help me to get more complex knowledge and bring fresh air to my poker adventures
I Played for fun SnG qualification $8+0.7$ (9plrs, 3 entry) for MiniFTOPS event #1 $20+$2, super soft game and easy to qualify through it.
I plan some other events maybe, depend on my results and my feelings from other MTT which I will play in following days.
February results:
Games played: 518
ROI: -2.3%
Winnings: 8.4$ ♠_biggrin:
24$ - 255 games - -11.7% ROI -> -714.6$ (+137.7$ rb)
22$ - 189 games - 6.1% ROI -> 252$ (+102.06$ rb)
11$ 74 games - 22.6% ROI -> 201$ (+19.98$ rb)
Definitely the worst month in my short poker "career"
40 BI under EV
50 BI under EV 20$+ lifetime
Currently playing 12$ turbos and 22$ normal, if I lose another 10 BI on 22$, I will play only 12$
February goals:
1) make Iron man status - january is so short month (gold maintained) :-/
2) 1500 games - mega fail, lot of duties+low motivation
3) start huuuuge grinding period after my last exam (10th february!) - see point 2 comment
4) keep studying (poker ofc) - I was studying a lot, I'm satisfied
5) study and exploit regs on 24s - not bad, but there is still a lot of space for improve
6) write to FTP: "What a hell is with my poker mindset!" - finally arrived
March goals:
1) make Iron man status
2) 1000+ games
3) continue studying
4) study MTT strategy and play MTT at least in sunday
5) finish The Poker Mindset and read it again
6) make platinum status
Blegh sucks to have such a big difference between your red and your green line 
What's your SN on FTP btw?
I hated the $24s for such a long time but now I'm beginning to like them a bit 
Anyway, good luck for March, hope you can achieve your goals. Do you have a lot of time besides your studies, to play? I'm in the same situation as you are, with combining studying and poker together, so that's why I'm wondering about it.
Hi, i just found your blog and I`m going to read it regulary, as I also just strated to study SNG`s.
Best of luck at the tables.

SN? Do you mean screen name? Same as here, Duncan737
I have quite a lot of time atm. It definitely depends on what you are studying. I'm in second semester at school of law. First semester was quite free, now I will have more school duties, but it still won't be so bad. Ofc medics like Ged should study harder. 
Furthermore I've left my part time job, that's mean some extra time for me.

Can I write a note into FTP client if I'm not online or more precisly if villain isn't online?
Yes. Use the find player tool, there's a "Notes" button.
Find: santostr
Note: avoid 
Oh, I've thought that it can be used only if player is online, I'm donk. 
btw I have some notes on you, but it's secret. ♠_evil:
After 2 weeks of mainly loosing and some BE days, I recorded winning day. ♠_love: I almost forget how it taste ♠_p:
I've reviewed yesterday's session and found this hand. I have to share this one with you.

After few days I played again and was welcomed by super cold deck and -10 BI => >200$ (EV was BE). Furthermore I've cash out >400$. So my BR is reduce quite a lot.
It's very hard for me to put some decent volume atm.
