Sit&Go Grinder - Reaching the top!

o whoops!
Thought I had cropped out the bit with my SN on hehe. Might have to go back and fix that! ty

@tim64. gonna wait a couple of days to see if my PS account is affiliated or not. If it isn't, just bad luck. I'm not gonna pass the quiz for 10$ and start playing elsewhere

you will have to sign up for 888, party, etc etc, I did it before I realised how this site worked properly, spent days signing up and verifying my age and stuff for a free $10 that then gets capped at playing $1 sngs on party poker. got so tilted and annoyed I just left it. As you said, I'm not really up for grinding another random site with $10 to use forums or send PM's...I can see how it works with new players but not with guys that already grind full time. I jsut assumed you built up your status by contributing to forums and making posts

Also just noticed who you are from you OP with your SN, nice to meet you

I played on most of the platforms. As a sng player I can't really make any money on other platforms or unlock bonuses because there simply isn't enough traffic.

DAY 3:

wanted to play more games but i'll have to call it a day. running terrible. couldn't win a flip. couldn't win when I was ahead. couldn't win when I was behind gg exte.

Session 1: $9.02
Session 2: -$20.68
Session 3: -$69.24

Games Played: 73
Total: -$80.9

I know what you mean, I'm going through a pretty rough stretch myself over last 500 games or so. Btw, didn't really like your call on the bubble with A7o, not sure what you put me on there.

guess we were on the bubble. you were the big stack, me and the other guy having ~10bb stacks. 100-200 blind level. you and me in blind battle. i have A7off. you've been pretty aggro up to that point. you pretty much had to shove almost ATC in that spot against me. A7 will be ahead a huge amount of times against your shoving range in that particular spot. this time you showed me a K6o or something like that you won gg.

DAY 4:

still running pretty bad in 6max. FR is ok. bad thing is that i'm still losing most of my flips. so here's the summary.

session1: $50.03
session2: -$49.98
session3: $71.25

total: $71.30
games played: 75

hello mate, sorry I missed you on skype earleir, drifting in and out of sleep all day after doing a stoopid 16hr overnight shift!
without wizzing it that A7 call doesnt sound good, from what I can rememebr from wiz sessions is even around 10bb if u are even stacked on the bubble u still need to call pretty damn tight iirc, but I may have had villains shove range too narrow compared to what this guys is

DAY 5:

Nothing really happening at the moment. I couldn't play more than 2 sessions as I had 20hours without sleep due to some personal problems. Tried to find time for some poker in between. Barely managed to play 2 sessions.

I really need to start winning those flips on the bubble soon and turn some decent profit daily if I wanna complete my challenge. Hopefully good days will come ♠_o:

Session 1: $8.92
Session 2: -$16.51

Total: -$7.59
Games played: 60

Day 6:

Just a quick update. added 1 table knockout sng to my sessions . things are going pretty well. btw what's the easiest method to find out the exact amount im gathering in bounties ? I can't seem to find that in hm2.

session 1: $80.39
session 2: $35.52

total: $115.51
games played: 54

another 15$ reg to kick his ass GL will follow.

cya at tables

DAY 7

Hey guys,
Broke my keyboard so I couldn't post any updates until my new one arrived. So here's the update for yesterday. Volume sucks. As a fellow reg said: December is a bad month for poker.

Session 1: -$77.24
Session 2: $44.55
Session 3: $108.61
Session 4: -$86.44

Games played: 88
Total: -$10.52

@herekPL: hey mate. how's December for you in terms of poker ? GL ♠_biggrin:

I wish I could put in your volume How do you structure your sessions, that is how many tables and for how long do you play?

DAY 8:

Still trouble with volume and sleep. It's been a good day. Wish I could have played more. After my last block of SNGs i'm on 4th in BOP promotion --> ship the money and the ticket on Monday weeee ♠_biggrin:

Session 1: $319.54
Session 2: $164.74

Total: $484.28
Games played: 60

@etro: i'm playing 30 sngs per session 10-12 tabling. 3 sesions per day is my standard. When I have enough time and nothing else to do I go for 4. I usually play 1 session in the morning, one at noon and one early in the evening. Between them I go out and do anything that's not related to poker so that when I come back and start grinding again I have a fresh mindset and top motivation.

How about you?

DAY 9:

Things got complicated as I have to manually calculate profits at the end of each session as HM2 doesn't add my knockout bounties.

Session1: $94.23
Session2: $24.25
Session3: $89.42
Session4: -$45.09

Total: $162.84
Games played: 84

Tbh, I'm a lousy grinder. I've been pushing myself to play five 9tabling sessions a day lately, but even that seems to be too much. I definately need to work on my volume and mindset if I consider to ever make any decent money.

yeah my volume has suffered a lot this month too. it's so hard to play poker in December, too much stuff going on and too many things to take care of.

whats ur SN?
