I got a 10th in a $2 dinker bounty and a had a deep run in the $3r 5k gtd again

13th....(SIGH)... other then that just a couple min cashes.  I'm spending the week

with family so am not playing this week.  I may play some thurs but not sure.  It

bums me out I keep getting deep in the $3r but can't close it out.  I know its only

a matter of time but still...im hungry for a decent cash (decent for me anyways)

I am not deterred and am happy with how I am playing.  I will just be glad when

I have enough in my BR to play $5+ and stop playing the dinky $1 and $2 games.

I am glad I am doing it this way however as I am getting gr8 experience in multi

tableing and it really helps me play to win.   So ya thats my update.  I will post

another after next weeks grind.

Until then,

PCE

a show on TV.  Got another 2nd..  Can't complain though, I went out with

KK < 99  just unlucky, but thats 3 2nds in a row ~.~  Only $70 as there was

only 103 runners.   So lets see if I can win one this week wtf!... 

pce

have any special cashes, only two 2nds.  One in the $3 100 max FO turbo

and another $3 that had 109 runners.  Nothing special, but nice to be

making FT's.  Obv I wanna win every time I get heads up but when theres

less then 40bb between the two players its a crap shoot.  Really takes away

from the heads up game I like to play.   I am continuing to watch 2-3 vids

daily.  I am not to worried about not getting 50 tournies a week as I am at

the mercy of Merge's Tourney schedule.  they have a good 5-6 hour period

where they have a good selection of microstakes but not much other then that

time period.  Imma continue to study and improve aswell as play.  I am really

enjoying the mini grinds I am doing and have developed a big respect for

those who grind 30-50 tourneys a day lol which is crazy.  The most ive played

in a day so far is about 25.  I think I would go mad grinding 40ish tourneys 6x

week as some do (did)

pce

account on lock somehow I used an L instead of an I…. so its  XCRUSHEQULTYX  which sucks

because thats why I used the X's lol….ya I know it doesn't make much diff but is irritating to me. 

 I didn't even realize it so should have just done  CRUSHEQULTY  as I can't tell the diff.  O well.  

So ya..   Lock UN=XCRUSHEQULTYX   so gay

pce

because internet was down so couldn't update till monday but have been busy so just now getting

to it.  Anyhow, I played 62 tourneys last week and am very pleased with  how I did.  I won anothe

 little dinker $1 FO 93 runners, nothing special but still a nice confidence booster.  I FT'd a $2.20

bounty for 9th and made a deep run in the $3r 5k getting 14th (Sigh..lost 93bb pot w/ QQ<AT O

well)  Made back to back top 20 finishes in the $5 cubed 2k and a couple other deep runs.   I am very

 excited because although im -28%ROI on OPR over 219 tourneys

Ive been one flip away from a decent cash quite a few times…It will happen soon and had one of my

wins been a $5 FOinstead of a $1 I would be up 28% ROI lol.   Thats prolly the coolest thing in all

this is I am seeing variance at its best. Streaks that seemed to last weeks last a day now. 

 I am SUPER excited about my future in this game and really feel I amgoing to Crush. 

Definitly a big difference between playing 20ish tourneys a day and playing 1-5.  I am continuing to

 dowell multi tabling.  I almost think I play better sometimes because it enables me to play on pure

auto pilot as when I have4-6 tables up I dont have much time to OVER think my self, which as I rely

 on my subconcious and instincts to make 99% of my plays I felt alot of my mistakes were coming

from me over analyzing shit and talking my self into doing the opposite of

what my gut was telling me to do.

Anyways time to watch a couple vids before i start my session.    

pce

 watching my  boys beat the Dolphins for a gr8 game.  

I didn't get in 50 tourneys this week

only 41 but im very happy with how I played.  I took a 3rd in a $3 All in or fold tourney,

Shipped the $3 bounty all in or fold tourney and shipped a $1 turbo with 300 runners all

while multi tabling.  I am really happy, not because I won a couple dinky tourneys but

because I took that 3rd and shipped the other two all while having 4+ tables up!!  This may

seem a minor accomplishment to most but for me its a huge milestone!! I am really proud with

how I played and even though I had 6 tables going at one point I was running str8 on auto

pilot and made some great plays.  Now there is no doubt in my mind I can multi table and still

win tourneys.  I was starting to doubt my self as Every session was coming down to the last

few tourneys and it felt like I was just blowing through my earlier tourneys when multi tabling.

LESSON for this week:  DON'T PLAY SCARED!!!  

I believe this is the single most important thing when playing tourneys.  Obviously there are

alot of things that can be argued to be the most important, however If you are playing scared

everything else is going to fail…if you are afraid to bust out and just try to get deep you have

already lost.  I will happily sacrifice a high cash % for a high FT to cash %.  Yes you will bust

earlier and more frequently but when actually making it ITM you are going to have a stack

and a much better chance and winning the tourney.    So ya, Bankroll management is a HUGE

thing and definitly something I have FINALLY hammered into my thick skull!!!    

My goal regarding this issue is, after 1k tournys I want to have a 5% FT  and a 2% win rate.  I am

Not sure how realistic this is but This is what I am going to shoot for.

That being said, I am very happy with how I am doing so far.  Even though I am still -20% ROI after 140

tourneys It's only a matter of time before I win a $5FO or $3r instead of a dinker. 

Thx guys and Happy Holidays!

Stats= Tourneys Played =139  10% ITM  w/ 2 1sts 1 2nd 1 3rd and 2   4-10ths. 

Bankroll = $213 

Mickman thx a mil for that article, it really helped alot and is a great article.

I didn't get 50 tourneys in this week as I had to work wed/thurs.  However, I

still got 40 tourneys in and I will just make sure I play 60 tourneys next week.

No deep runs just a few min cashes.  Which is fine as I only care about wins and

thats how im playing.  I definitly had gotten away from that attitude the last

few months on carbon and will not allow that to happen anymore.   I am pretty

much comfortable with 4 tables now, but with my limit thats pretty much all I can

have up at one time.  I am only playing on merge so I am limited to there game

selection.  However, it wont be to long till I am throwing in some $10 games which

will allow me to up my volume.  By the time I get my roll to $500 and can add the $10 games

I should be more then ready to play 4-8 tables.   So ya, thats where I stand now.

CRUSH

you will get used to multitabling 6-8 pretty fast when you put the volume in that you have planned.
