This is my first post after coming home, I haven't actually played much poker lately just having fun.. Ive played around 50 games in the past 3 days ive been drunk almost all the time. Yesterday I went to play casino with my friends and played some omaha ( I have no idea how to play omaha) ended 100euro up... So life is good and beers going down and luckily poker is going up also!
Maybe I should start to play poker when Im drunk? Going so well!

sweet graphs man. Looks like you cant loose any money any day. And you made almost all my bankroll in just 40 games, thats little bit frustrating for me
I also dont play omaha, well I know how to play it and everytime I played it (maybe 5 times in my life) I won But I just dont want to "learn" it and improve in it, like I did (and still doing) with holdem... I am pretty lazy person

Maybe i will play again in the night later when i come back from the disco

By mistake I hided one of the posts.. Well there was nothing special so I will just keep it short, 3 days ago I was playing some tournaments with my friend and we ended up losing around 100d in MTTs and I lost also on SNG 40d.. And 2 days ago I think if I remember right I took 45d up? and yesterday I took 70d up, ooh and yes I withdraw 230dollars to buy a ps3 for my sister and her boyfriend for christmas but anyway today few sng's going on and will see if I play more or not..

Well as a scientist I have to say that that s the graph you wanne see as a pokerplayer.
graditional increase of the bankroll --> you can draw a perfect regression line through the graph.
This means you re playing good poker and you avoid big downswings

It has been sometime that I have not updated... Its because I haven't played much poker this christmas, one friend of mine is visiting me from France and have been doing crazy stuffs with him.. I have putted so much time on other things then poker, I am little bit actually disappointed on myself for not having done anything so far.. Today I played 3 tournaments and 3 Heads Hyper and made 1 cash in tournament for 48d so in total I made ~10d up and 24d of that went to my friend with who I splitted but he didn't cash.. And from the HU one 7d I lost after he had 20 chips left and I had 980 hehe... And then won 2 15d against the same player.. I know its sad to give no good grinding story but maybe I will try to make some better effort next year
Oh and yes I started my tennis career again with some physics with my coach, we started pretty slowly and still it was tough.. But hey what good can happen in 10 days of not doing anything but drinking?

So so...
Lets see what have I done with poker so far this year? Actually nothing at all, feeling somehow so tired. I tried today for the first time poker and just 1 HU for 20d with a fish and managed to win and still had no good feeling to continue to play so maybe I should wait little bit more to get the motivation... where where are you motivation???

Today I played little bit more and had some time issues that I couldn't be on the computer for a long period time so decided to play only HU... I did manage to play 21 HU today with some profits, feels like there is lot of fishes including me dont know still if I can make some money in these games but will see... Ohh and yes while I was in the car tried for the first time to play with my phone one HU on pokerstars! Was actually pretty good! And also tried one hand on zoom went all in and lost
But for the HU im just trying to learn the game, and saw that I made lot of stupid mistakes and hopefully I will learn something from them.. And yes finally small motivation is coming up towards poker!
and here is the graph for this year, there is only HU games

Haven't updated due to the lack of games... 60 games after the last post included everything (hyper HU etc.. so no that much ) but did quite okay, started little bit more on the HU sng my friend is playing also so fun to play the sames and feels like there is more fishes sitting then in sng but I dont know yet which one I prefer the 6max and 9man or the HU Run really good on the hyper HU + 66d on them and on the turbo HU around+ 33d and on the 6max +76d... Oh yeah and I forgot to mention that the build up for my bonus, didn't even reach the 100d what I wanted, 82d was the total of the bonus.. I started also on pokerstars to play little bit headsup not much to mention after 12 games + 8d.. Feels like on FTP there is more fishes on the HU, I think its because on FTP there can be infinite lobbies and on PS not so the regs are always sitting already on the lobbies...
But anyway today I think was the biggest grinding day for a while played 48 HU were 30 was turbos and the rest were hypers!

hmm that graph sure looks nice, 190$ profit in the last few days?
plus if you can keep that up, and even add some volume you could unlock pretty much any SUB or reload, or whatever bonus u have going on atm o,o
dear lord this is like 5th sng blog, and most of you guys are doing great, i really wish i had the nerves to play sngs but maybe one day, once i get bored of ring games and finally admit im never gonna win anything big playing MTT's, ill give sngs a shot too :=)
gl with ur grinding, hope you can keep it up (both profit and volume, thats it)

im not saying sngs cant make money, all im saying is i dont have nerves to grind sngs (as in im not willing to put enough volume into it to be worth it), because i find them super boring

@theapple From 5th! i was also little bit lucky, running over ev for sure at this moment I dont have any bonus reload going on.. Well mostly I like sng because you dont need to be on the computer all day if u dont want to but I have to admit that when u run deep in some MTT thats for sure more fun then a sng but then again MTT can be also pretty boring Volume is the thing in sng! Hopefully I will make some bigger volume...
@vsmoje
Well depends when I am playing sng on my laptop I usually have 6 games but with HU Im just starting so I slowly, yesterday was the first time Idid more then 1 table.. But the main game where ive made the most money are 6max and the 9mans.. And with my PC i play 9-12 tables with 2 screens but the sh*t went broke and haven't still bought a new one.. And my laptop starts to be really old also, partypoker is too much to run? and its not the software.. So maybe I just gonna buy a laptop where I can add a screen that could be good when I will travel also still have the computer... And if u get bored try some hypers, there should be some action

Cheers good luck, looks like you are running hot and keeping it in check, will be sure to follow your progress, hope you continue your fine form and does not burn out from playing too much. Playing for fun and money coming in by themselves is the best way to approach SNG!

Today was a good day but not in poker.. Grinded 3h in the day and went 16d down and then i tried just for fun to play few games with my phone on pokerstars and some hypers just few minutes ago and hitted a -130d.. Good that I didn't have my computer with me I would have wanted to take them back on fulltilt mobile is not working on FTP... Now to sleep before i do something stupid!

Your only play the fifty fifty right? Tried that too and think normal DoNs are more profitable then fifty fiftys imo. Also if your winning at fiftys and DoNs you can make more profit on the 45/90/180/360 SNGs imo.
