The Need to Improve

I played already more than 400 games, but believe me, this month is being very though. I am negative in $4 and I need to reduce my volume... for a few days only.

I am going to watch some videos and study ICM during this week so I will probably not play any game, but I will return on Thursday or Friday to some mega sessions.

I need to stop for a while, review sessions, study and apply ICM to my sessions and watch some videos to improve my game at the single table tournaments. I was analyzing my data and I have a 11% ROI in 1060 games on 9 man SNG regular blinds (since last year), witch is reasonable. This year I am negative. So I figured out that all that I need is a break and some home study on my game to get back to good results. Of course, I have some variance this year, because I am multitabling on average about 12/15 tables at the same time.

Feeling good with my past data and I have been on this situation before, I was negative on Sharkscope and I did turned things around last year. Another turn around was on my turbos SNG's. I was negative on them and I did turned them positive this year.

I probably will return to the regular blinds SNG's after this pause.

By the way, online gambling could become legalized in the state of Columbia in USA:

Week Feedback

The game of choice

This has been a good week, in fact, a good month. I decided to grind the 9 man turbo since last month and I have been doing very well. I still played some 18 man and regular blinds 9 man this month but the game of choice will definitely be the 9 man Turbo.

Stakes and multitabling improvement

I am playing at the $1,75 for now, I am more than rolled for the $3,40 but I want a bigger sample at this level and perhaps a shoot at the sharkscope leaderboard this year. I move up in stakes very soon.

My main improvement has been on my ability to multitable. I am now playing 15 tables on my sessions with profit (if the conditions are normal). I had some sessions with more tables, (my maximum is 20), but they did not ended very well, but I guess playing my "A" game with 15 tables at the same time in a 19'' monitor is a great achievement!

Here is a picture of the month, from the 235 games played, 194 games are from the 9 man turbos.

March Review

March is over, was a solid month in terms of volume, I achieved 600 games played.
In terms of profit I made about 35 buy-ins more. On the VIP status, I made about 800 Vpps, and 1933 Vpps for the year. The final days of March were very though, I had fantastic sessions on the last weekend and then, starting on Monday until Wednesday I went on the red and a huge downswing hit me and I lost some races were I was 70% favourite on crucial hands.

Plans for the second trimester, starting in April. Like I said in one of the last posts, volume is the goal, and of course, make good decisions at the tables. I will try to play more games on April, I challenge myself to play about 800 games in total (it's going to be hard, I have about 2/3 hours on average per day).

See you at the tables!
