Even if you feel it's close, remember to stick to A-game rather than push for pure volume.

Glad to hear you're running better and recovering from the DS though!

is true.today i had to play like 80 games but after 10 games i tilted but i didn't know why and i couldn't stay focus so i took a break for a few hours.

i try to play a session tonight and see how it goes.

so not going to be diamond this month:).i wanted that for gamestones but since i have to improve a bit before moving to 22$ next month i won.t be able to achive diamond again so i don.t need to stress this month.

it was a good month(in terms of volume) i played over 1500 games.before i was not able to play 1000 games so i proved myself it can be done.

stake not finnished yet but i will in a 2-3 days.i plan on getting staked again in july and play only 1000 games,11$, but plan to review more and improve so in august i can mix some 22$.

i will post the graph later and come with other updates

i am running bad.maybe i played to much and didn.t review so much but i know i am better than BE.i wish my EV to work at least to have an idea.

anyway not giving up and this month i will try to improve.watch some videos review my game and play with wizard and nash.

still going to be staked this month too.i hope i can run better and improve so i can move to 22$ next month.is not an absolute goal but i think is achievable.

more updates after i start the stake

time for an update

i started the stake for a few days but didn.t play so much.i watched some videos and practiced with sng wizard and i descoverd some spots where i have to be a bit wider.

this week i don.t know how much i can play because it feels more like studing then playing.is good because i got some confidence in my game.

i have 4 days more to study hard and play a bit and then i am off for some days to my grandparents.i am waiting a bit because i think it will be a good oportunity to relax and forgot about poker for some days.after that i have to start grinding strong:).

Ive been on a break too, always good to relax a bit and re-evaluate with a clear mind.

started with 22$.there are more regulars but i am playing 2 session a day i might play even 3 and see what time the tables are fishier.i played only ~50 games so not much happening.

i am buying a new laptop these day.my pc is really old so is time for something new.another thing is that i am thinking about switching from HEM1 to HEM2.i don.t know if is better and i would like to hear your opinion.

i have both hem and hem2, i prefer hem1 for his user friendly style but hem2 is way more complete (vshero stats is gold^^) but i dunno what you need as a sng player

Hi alxpoker91, time to say sth such as nice blog man! :).. will def. follow it from time to time. damn that's a lot! I know what u r saying.. One time I started a session and started off with sth like 1/27 ITM consecutively at $11 mixed with $6. I was tripping like sh*t .. Though one way or the other I managed to close to BE that day. (Of course that's not always the case :O).. I think SnG Graphs are 'an art of itself'.. One time I even got a 'rainbow' graph ?(..

GL with ur SnG Quest!

Greetzz
