The last 2 weeks have been crazy! I had some personal thing come up that pushed poker to the side but now I'm back on track. That being said I cashed $400 USD and will be rebuilding my bankroll again. I dabbled in the $8.00 180 man's last week and found the skill level  to be the same as the $2.50 180 man's. On a side note as I also work full time I am playing many of the SitNGo's on my phone which doesn't have Poker Tracker. I mention this because I wont be using my Poker Tracker graph as an indication of my results but more so just typing how many I played and my total profit/loss. Good luck at the tables!smile

Games played: 59

Profit: +88.23

 

So far this week has started off so so. I plan on playing 20 SitNGo $2.50/180 mans daily which is going to be the most I have played yet. I started off Monday with a solid 38 played which was great, that being said I went down $80. This was pretty devastating as I had never had a losing day on my day off(bound to happen lol). I went back to the drawing board and watched some of my hands along with running through the ICMIZER trainer coach and watching more Kyle I GRDIND THIS videos. I woke up today feeling good and came 2nd twice with a 3rd place finish aswell. On the day I was $+168.

 

As I posted above, Ginger has mentioned that its a better idea in tracking my results with All in Adj. I take it this means the graph will show my expected results in BB vs my actual results. This way I will be able to track if I am shoving majority of the hands that are +Ev vs villains. I feel pretty good about this as most all in showdowns I am ahead.

 

Life Update: Finally went to the dentist after a couple of years. I didn't think anything major needed to be done but boom I need a root canal, awesome. On the plus side I can play a little more poker tomorrow morning! Good luck all.

Hey man, good luck with the challenge.

One thought from my end - I don't think tracking profit day-by-day is the best way to go. Making money doesn't mean you played well, and losing money doesn't mean you played badly. I think you should be tracking your EVbb/100 (or All-in Adj BB/100 on PT4) instead. That's a much better representation of how you're playing.

GL!

Below is what I believe to be what you had mentioned above as being my all in equity. I could be wrong, but it looks like the green line shows my actual BB won vs my net expected BB won. I would appreciate your advice on what my graph looks like vs how a good graph should look like..I hope mine looks good haha!

I had never thought of doing it like that, seems like a no brainer! I will look at doing that, thanks for the suggestion!

Weekly Update:

 

AND I WIN THIS WEEKS CHALLENGE VS MY BROTHER. I'm up 2-1 within the last three weeks and things are looking pretty good as far as my profits and ROI. Below are my results from three weeks ago unitl now playing only the $2.50/180 mans.

Total Games Played: 288

Profit: $619.30 USD

I started of this week with a bang by winning two 180 mans and coming second in one day. Of course this was one of my days off. The rest of the week I found it a struggle to keep playing solid poker as I was always play after work. That being said I managed to win a couple 180 mans while working lol. Once My bankroll hits 1500USD I'm going to move to the $8.00 180 mans.

Good job keeping the priorities in order: sleep, exercise, work. It's hard to fit other stuff in like poker, but if you drop one of those 3 to make time, you're going to play worse.

Dead on! I have been actually waking up at 4am to play for 4 hours prior to work. For me I find its all about going to sleep early enough to get minimum 8 hours of sleep. Once I do that boom I'm ready to ship a couple tournaments.

Games Played: 33 $2.50/180 mans

Notable Finishes on Day: 1st place twice and a second place finish. I also had a couple 9th and 6th place finishes.

Study: Watched Kyle "I grind this" videos from last year on MTT 180 man turbos. I also played some more older Danny N13 video. If I might add both were great watches again. I also routinely will watch motivational videos, in particular by my man Eric Thomas. This guy has pushed me for years and I highly recommend watching him for a mentor or a motivator.

Games played: 20X$2.50/180 mans with a number of micro MTT and 6 $5 K.O 90 man. As I use this forum for my SitnGo 180 mans I will stick to updates just on those.

Notable finishes on day: 4th and 2nd.

Profit on Day: $85.98

Below is my updated graph from starting two weeks ago. I don't have a second place finish on it but I have also lost a couple so I'm sure its not a huge gap.

In the mornings up until 4pm Pacific Time the $2.50/180 mans along with the $5 90 man knockouts, 3.50+R and $8.00 180/man fill up every 5 minutes. Not exactly sure what to say except I hope for your case they eventually legalize online again! Ups and downs for playing on Stars; the competition is by far way harder than the other sites like 888, PokerLoco,  Full Tilt or Party Poker but you can put in a ton of volume....not that it really matter anymore because of the new 2016 VIP program on Stars. I just like the format of the site and rakeback program. What time are you playing on your sites? If I don't wake up early enough like 6am or 7am than I cant play more than 5 180 mans within 3 hours so maybe choose to play at a more popular time.

I am finding it hard to see a good volume of SNGs in bovada or ACR.. Is there any other site that you play on? I am from USA and not New Jersey or Nevada btw :).
