Hello vytas3d,

Welcome to blogging!

What are your goals for this month then? Usually you should state your starting bankroll and goals so you can keep track of your progress, post hands so we can discuss

Good luck at the tables!

Hi, EV only works for final table of 18 mans so you should turn it off. It will always be way over your winnings cause when you reach the final table you'll be mostly doubled up or more.

Gl

Thanks dydukas.

My starting bankroll is 40$ so its 26BI to these tournaments.

My goals:

*Play 1000 tournaments in a month.

*Post interesting hands for discussion.

*Finish to read all chapters of "16$ in a hour blueprint" and Collin Moshman - sit and go strategy.

*In the middle of November move up limits.

Had a little bit downsting when played on friend's pc. However, home sessions still running quite succesfully.

What you think in this situation push or fold is a better move?

I think you should use this: HandConverter

So your hands would look like this:

In this situation you would like to call or fold and just keep stealing as oponents fold to All in pretty much.

It looks that I won't make one of mine goal to play 1000 tournaments in a month as I struggle time.. But there is mine graph so far:

Last week took 65th place in low orbit SNG leaderboard. Now one of mine addicional goals is to get in SNG weekly leaderboard.

A week ago took 32th place in weekly leaderboard but just after that had a little downswing so I didn't played poker for a while. For now its okay and I am happy to be back to grind!
