My NEWLife SNG

Day 9

Today I was mixing $7s and $15s in the morning because traffic on $15s was low, and now just finished playing second session only $15s, Second session was a fun one, well not at the start because I starded with $100 loss and managed to finish with profit. Fun part was playing at the tables with klompa123, his every shove ended in my monster, it was beautiful when hi didnt managed to suck out ♠_cry: . Overall not so bad day, I didnt want to hit 100 sng mark today because I left me 57 sng more for tomorrow to finish block. Wanted to finish today but my master, my yoda Tim64 "onthestoop" is having his birthday tomorrow so we cant end block tomorrow and I hope he will be drunk ♠_drink: (HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIM!!!! I really hope it will be good one and much more to come!)
So lets focus on today results:

Overall Day 9 ($7BI and $15BI):
Hours: 4h 36min
SNG: 73
Profit/Loss: + $122,08
VPPs: 397,38 ( still enough for Platinum pace )

Tomorrow Ill finish my last 57 sng in the block and Friday will be my day off. Also in the morning I have doctor appointment for x-ray of my cervical spine hopefully to end my medical problems. Cya guys tomorrow, stay cool and have fun! ♠_drink:

One more time: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIM!!!!

Day 10

Today was impossible day, I LOST EVERY F*** HAND, positive thing is I finished block, but Im mad as hell, every turn improves opponent, overpairs on sets, backdoor 3rd nut flush on 2nd nut flush, and a tons of setups. Horrible JUST horrible day:

Overall Day 10 ($15BI):
Hours: 3h 29min
SNG: 59
Profit/Loss: - $254,80
VPPs: 340,30

Thank God tomorrow is my day off, I need to calm down from today, also I had x-ray scheduled for today and who would say "F*** MACHINE IS BROKE" so I have to wait for next week to get new appoitment. Would be better not to woke up today!!
Damn Im mad, sry for bad language guys but thats just how I feel at the moment.... CYA, HF & GL!

Day 11

Yesterday was my day off and it was kinda boring, highlight of the day was coaching in the morning where we reviewed my B-, even C game that I played 2 days ago when I was pissed in session. Rest didnt help for today, I played fine (at least I think) but first session was brutal - $180 EV +$10, and I was kinda down after that session but second session I managed to get some money back, overall results are:

Overall Day 11 ($15BI):
Hours: 5h 48min
SNG: 87
Profit/Loss: - $110,93 (EV +$100 ,14BI swing today)
VPPs: 523,26

Feeling very tired after todays grinding, probably gonna eat some dinner and going to bed (gonna watch some Mentalist TV series)
Tomorrow is another day and should be better (at least I hope) ♠_thumbsup:

Day 12

Back on track (at least today), first session was dumb for me to play because there was no traffic so I only played like 13 SNG and manage to lose money ♠_ugly:, rest of the day was fine except the game I had to watch. 1/8 world handball championship final Croatia:Brazil, Croatia won but damn how hard the game was, we won by only 1 goal difference while everybody thought was 10 goals for us easy game. After the game I was feeling like train hit me, but I had to play to at least get some volume today. At the end Im not satisified with volume but will fix that tomorrow. Final results of the day:

Overall Day 12 ($15BI):
Hours: 4h 26min
SNG: 66
Profit/Loss: + $179,01
VPPs: 393,48 (still some 1600 to reach Platinum)

WEEK #2: $15s

Hours: 30h 10min
SNG: 446
VPPs: 2669
ROI%: 2,13
ITM%: 37,4
Profit/Loss: + $142,46 (pre rb) , + $215,26 (post rb)

Tomorrow Im back to grinding 100sng per day so stay tuned and some feedback is welcome See You tomorrow guys! ♠_drink:

hey, yoko how much tougher is 15s field compared to 7s in your opinion ? Any interesting adjustments you had to make before jumping limit up ?

Subbed ofc, I am on similar goal this year as-well

Hey mortal1ty, my opinion is that $15s are different, thougher from $7s because there are not so much recreational players on $15s as there is on $7s, a lot of regs that play $15s played, moved down or where mixing $15s with $7s so regs are not much different. (of course there are some better regs on $15s). When moving up the limits and I have moved form $3.5 to $15s now biggest difference is moving from $7s to $15s, regs are more aggro and preflop decision is harder.
About adjustments, I didnt have to make some big adjustments because from day one I work with Tim64 as a coach and he was preparing me for bigger limits (and still is). Naturally I had to make some adjustments because of the field and adjusting to Your opponents is cruical one. Definitely You have to be more balanced and more aggresive, there is some regs on $15s that are capable of readjustment to Your style of play so mixing the game is welcome.
Hope that I answered your question and good luck with your goal this Year. Hope to see You at the tables. ♠_drink:

Update on today is it will be my day off, tried to play sessn now but there are 5 regs per table so decided to skip this session and I have to take some people to doctor appointment (older couple that my girfriend takes care off) in the afternoon. Couldnt make decent volume today so better to take day off instead of wednesday. New poker update tomorrow folks. Wil be interesting week in getting desired volume. ♠_thumbsup:

Day 13

Day started awfull, first session I lost $106, EV $0, second session saga continues lost another $160, EV -$60, so Im losing total of cca $268, but I wasnt mad or pissed as I would usually be, started talking to myself that losing session is normal and the only thing I can do about it is grinding more and more. (To be honest Im surprised that I wasnt mad, maybe some tilt issues are resolved.) Last session of the day was great, soft tables, some run good and I managed to get some (not all) money back. Overall it was hard day but Im happy with volume and only 900VPP more to Platinum. Here are the results:

Overall Day 13 ($15BI):
Hours: 5h 57min
SNG: 106
Profit/Loss: - $53,24
VPPs: 629,64

Looking forward to tomorrow because Croatia is in quarterfinals of World Handball Championship and we play against Poland. Croatia is favorite but we can never know (we won 5 out of 6 games against Poland), I really hope it wont be close game so I can watch it without losing my mind. My volume for tomorrow wont notice the game ( Im hoping ), will do my best to reach 100 sng mark. Thanks for reading guys and good night to You all. ♠_thumbsup:

Day 14

Boring day, feels like Sisyphus rolling that stone up the hill. Nothing special to talk about except today table selecting wasnt necessary, whole day maybe 3 or 4 regs where playing so tables where great. What wasnt great is my results but volume is excellent:

Overall Day 14 ($15BI):
Hours: 6h 01min
SNG: 111
Profit/Loss: - $19,66
VPPs: 659,34

Btw Croatia lost quarterfinal game and I couldnt care less, becuase we sucked big time last 2 games. We didnt deserve semi finals so everything is ok, maybe we will win the game for 5th place. (BIG maybe).
Good thing for tomorrow Ill reach Platinum VIP (some 300 VPPs more), good night folks, take care ♠_thumbsup: ♠_zZz:

gl and impressive, you seem to be crushing

Day 15

Bad news for me today is my heating is not working at my condo so I had to lose a lot of time today to find handyman so he can tell me I need new heating unit. Come on lets buy new unit and lose another 3h, so I did. After I bought the thing handyman couldnt set it right so I had to wait for tomorrow to fix my heating. Damn its cold here guys trust me, Im playing session and dont feel my hands. What a COOL way to play ;). About the game today, the day was so so, not satisfied with volume today but it wasnt up to me. Im looking forward as usual to coaching tomorrow because somehow I feel Im not playing my best this days but maybe its just a feeling. We will see what Tim will say tomorrow. Results for today:

Overall Day 15 ($15BI):
Hours: 4h 40min
SNG: 87
Profit/Loss: + $77,27
VPPs: 516,78

Forgot to tell You I made it to Platinum today so it was quicker than I thought when I started this block (good thing right?) Now we need to make it to Supernova till August and I strongly believe I will make it. Also one good thing is that I got my grinding conscience to level when I dont make 100 sng mark in a day I feel disapointed. Watched some public coaching today from Tim64 on Twisters and Spin&Gos and if You like that kind of format You should religiously follow Tim coaching schedule, its free and it offers so much. Also if u play SNG You should pay attention because if nothing else You can learn a lot about HU. (at least I can)
Uh I said 2 much already for today, so good night You all and have nice dreams (dream big) ♠_thumbsup:♠_zZz:

Thank You and GL 2 You 2

Day 16

What to say? The day was brutal, first session was perfect, won $180, EV + $160, and then, hmmm and then tsunami the whole day, 2 sessions - $400, EV -$40, was watching at the screen and couldnt believe what is happening, boom slap in the face, boom punch to stomach, boom highkick, bitch please why did you even bother playing? Probably only good thing from the day is I didnt tilt (2 much), after last session I just turned computer off and went to sleep. Results of the day

Overall Day 15 ($15BI):
Hours: 5h 47min
SNG: 100
Profit/Loss: - $205,46 (day ended in 19BI downswing)
VPPs: 594

Today I hope ill recuperate some losses so crossing my fingers and hoping stars will be on my side today. Wanted to get out od BE period and I did hehe, I went to lossing period (probably worse than BE ) See You guys, stay tuned as today later in the evening another update is coming. ♠_ugly:

Frustrating for sure, but just a small bump in the road on your journey to a profitable year. Good luck with today's sessions.
