Hey all,
I started a challenge a month or so ago here,
https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?postid=3174688
I was planning on re-depositing, but have since changed sites, and as the last thread was about GG poker I thought I'd just start a blog and then I can include all of my poker activity here. Thanks Vorpal and sdsbates for comments in the original challenge thread.
So to recap I was playing spin n golds on GG Poker and trying to become a winning player, but mindset held me back.
Well going forward this is all going to be about creating a winning poker players mindset (e.g. not tilting much, not expecting to win, not feeling entitled to run good).
So what's happened since last update in above thread?
--> I bought a spin n go course, and have started applying what I've been learning about good ranges.
--> I've moved back over to Pokerstars.
--> I discovered Grand Tour and really like it (even though it has been tilting the heck out of me!)
Here are my Spin N Go results, at $1 and $2, since I started playing again on Friday:
The downward swing at end of graph is because I started tiltlting a bit, and generally just not playing very well!
From talking to other Spin n Go players, I think best stat to judge your success in Spin n Go's is cEv (amount of chips you win on average per game you play), my CeV needs some work, but hey at least I'm winning!
Chip Ev adjusted: 10,968 and I've played 221 games, so that's a cEv of 49.62 ,
As you start with 500 chips, I think that means my EV per game in 1's and 2's is 500/49 = 10.2% ? Maybe someone can let me know if that's right from above stats?
I really enjoy Grand Tour and find it a nice break from Spin n Go's, I managed to take $1 all the way to 60$ final game on my first attempt but busted out of that final game without getting any bounties.
I started on Friday by depositing £50 = $65 , and already had $5 in my account so started with $70.
Thanks to Spin n Go's and Grand Tour, and Rakeback (which I converted to Grand Tour tickets and played).
I've doubled the bankroll over the weekend and bankroll is now £127.51
Challenge for me going forward is to build a great mental game.
Here is a good video I watched about Zen and Poker in case anyone is interested!
Bankroll currently £127.51
Going to eat, then will be playing a mix of $2 spin n Go's and Grand Tour from the $1 buy in level!
