I would tell my opinion about turbos and please tell me if i am wrong.

Turbos are not how well you know poker or how good is your starting hand selection but how wide you push.Do i have in some point wrong?

PS Just eliminated from a rush tour flopping two pair from runner runner flush.N1

You can get away with ICM only in lowest stakes but as mentioned in all higher limit videos you should seek some postflop edges too. Anyway ~400 games is too small of a sample for turbos. But the EV is steadily climbing to I guess it's just a matter of patience. :)

why would you make your goals harder to reach if you failed hard last time. Try decreasing it a bit to get some succes experience. That is so important in everything you do in live!

Is there any way to exchange my rish tickets for money in full tilt?

First my goals till this sunday were:

:spade:Play 200 sit n go SUCCEED
:spade:Train in 4000 hand in icm FAILED (trained in 2000 hands, 6 and 5 handed made in both 94%,i found that icm in bubble is too wide for this level so i will not train in bubble yet)
:spade:Watch 3 videos SUCCEED (watch lessthanthree+chenny888 3 part session review video+unam 12$ video at full tilt)
:spade:Post weekly graph on sunday and not earlier SUCCEED (finally sunday came)
:spade:Read half hour kama sutra _love: FAILED (made too much practise though _smile: )

I am delighted with my play overall.In my opinion i played m A game near all times so i am very very happy with my performance.I reviewed my game many times my bigger leak is that i didnt tend to push wide enough and i fixed it.I tried to make some moves from the videos i saw in my game but didnt work.Propably there is a huge difference between 6.50$ and 12$ thats why(all videos i saw was about 12$)

Weekly graph:

Today i runned very very good i couldnt lost an all in before heads up.In 12 games i had 6 heads up finishing 4 times first which is awesome!!!

Lifetime graph:

Because i think post weekly graphs is very very boring.I ll post goals and graphs two times per week

Starting bankroll:150$
Last week's bankroll:384$
Current bankroll:657$

Maybe i missunderstood some things.But i believe in small stakes min raising=loosing value.I found that shoving is better than min raising because people call with crap even in all iin.Two examples both tiimes i shoved one time get called by T7o from a 10bb stack and another i get called from A4s when we both have 20bb in our stack and 5 people left

which is the difference between raise 1st and steal in holdem manager?

I don't think you should look at it like you are losing, but more like you are actually winning with a decent ROI at your limit and eventually you should catch the EV line!

Beside you have like 500$ more than your starting BR :)

well the Nash range is
9.8%, 66+ A9s+ ATo+ KJs+

So yea, it's not Nash, not the best call but not the worst call either.
