Hey fellow poker friends!
I'm Jonathan, 29 years old from Montreal, Canada. I work as an Network Administrator for 10 years.
My goal with poker is just to have a good extra income and get a proper poker bankroll to play some big online and live events. Of course if I bink a life changing amount, I will definetly leave my dayjob ![]()
I've been playing poker for more than 5 years now, starting with the 50$ from Pokerstrategy. I built it to about 3500$ playing cash games, sit and gos and then some live poker. I always knew I was a winning poker player live, but always had problems with my bankroll management and tilt problems online. I also never concentrated on only one type of game in the recent years, until now, after watching some MTTSNG videos. I decided I will be concentrating on building a proper bankroll with 45s and 180s SNG. And when I'm up to about 1000$, I'll start grinding more scheduled MTT for the big money.
EDIT:I changed my mind, I'll play a month of Cash game after this month to compare how I did in both game format.
So I cashed out my money from Pokerstars so I have only 100$ left, I reset my HEM2 database, and started to grind 45s, 180s, and up to 1$ MTT.
At this point, I just wanted to prove to myself that I am a winning player. That I can stick to one type of game (MTTSNG) for a long time and build a bankroll following a 75-150 buy in rule.
So in the last ten days, i played 239 SNG and MTT and I ran very well. It was a mix of 0.5$ 180s, 0.5$ 45s, 1.5$ 45s, and MTT up to 1.10$. (Yep, event the 0.11$, 0.27$. 0.55$ MTT).
I managed a very nice ROI in 45s:

Didint win any 180s, with a very very low sample:

So here is my graph for the last 239 tournaments:

Yuuuppp! I binked a 1.10$ MTT for 200$
Just to let you know, I chose to cashout this 200$ win for a couple of reasons. First, I wanted to make sure I stick with the 0.5$ and 1.5$ games long enough to convice myself im crushing those before moving up to 3.5$ 45s. And second, I wanted to buy some poker related stuff. I bought myself a second monitor because Im playing on a 11 inch laptop screen and it was not very optimal for multitabling ![]()
I'll make sure to upload a photo of my grinding station in the following days.
So for now, I'll keep grinding the 0.5$ and 1.5$ 45s for 100$ more before I add 3.5$ games into my sets. I'm adding a 2.5$ 180s from time to time because the number of 0.5$ 180s is very limited.
Current Bankroll: 261.71$
For those interested, I'll keep my posts big, and will post maybe 2 to 3 times a week.
I'll post many graphs, stats, and sick sick hands, only from time to time.
Next week, I'm having a trip to Nassau in the Bahamas where I will grind from my Hotel room if the temperature is bad.
My girlfriend is working for Air Canada so I get to travel a couple of times a year for really cheap!
So thats it for my first post, I dont want to scare you right away with the loonnnnnnnnnnnng post haha.
Dont hesitate to ask any questions, comments.
Talk to you later and until them, happy fishing! ![]()
