-300$
Hey, guys. I'm going to try to start this blog back up. Jon and Ket are off making mucho moneys, while I'm back at the 6.50 SNGs trying to build a BR. My original goal back on Thursday for Tuesday was to get my roll to 1000$ through massive playing during the Easter weekend. Unfortunately, I did one of two things:
1) I went on a bad run,
2) I donked the turn
No idea which one it was, but according to a lot of people and 2+2ers, it was the former. I hope it is.
I started off the weekend with some 15+1 with a roll of 700$. That's over 40 buyins for the stake, and that might seem like a lot to some people, but others - such as Pacifist - often go to the next stake with over 100 buyins. I'm beginning to think that's not such a bad idea.
As soon as I played four sets, I had to drop down. Meh. This time, I only built up to 650$ before hitting them again. I busted down again, and then got mad and fired up 16 tables of 6.50. I used to actually have a positive ROI at the 15+1s while 16-tabling, but that was when I was on a heater of a run.
Anyway, my roll is at 500$ now. I'm going to run it up to at least 860$ before I try my hand at the 15+1s. Not only that, but I want to be sure all the decisions I'm making while 4-tabling the 6.50s are break-even at worst.
I've taken up some good habits in the past days. Namely, whenever I play a hand which I'm not sure about, I get the hand history for it and copy-paste it into a notepad file on my desktop. After the end of a set, or a few sets, I take a look at the hands and run them through SNGPT. I'm going to start doing that with hands that aren't push/fold and run them through 2+2 forums.
Take this hand for example:
PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com
UTG (t1225)
Hero (t3210)
CO (t2180)
Button (t4382)
SB (t1409)
BB (t1094)
Preflop: Hero is in UTG+1 with As Ts
UTG raises to t1200 (All-in), Hero raises to t3185 (All-in)
This was a bad play. I should be really wary of the people behind me. I also should be hesitant to call because I'd be risking 1/3rd of my stack. This also points out another important point; my stack is very nice. Yes, it is below 10BB. However, the relevant stack is of importance.
I also strongly recommend you read this thread. It regards playing mediocre hands with 12-15BB.
