Only 57 games played in the bankroll challenge this week due to being away Thursday and Friday and then grinding MTTs yesterday.

Took an $8.55 loss on the week so bankroll stands just north of $100 from the original $110 starting point.

Kids are off school this week so I'm not expecting huge volume this week either which is a slight pain in the behind but it is what it is!

Another session full of bubbles!

Checked bubble play this morning and made all the right jams, just ran into coolers or worse hands that won. Not the start I wanted to the month but I guess will have to take it.

Also wasn't helped by a freeze in the software midway through my first set which cost me big time when ITM in two games!

Getting a little worried at the lack of progress thus far, 250 games in, -$53, beginning to feel a little disheartened right now so gonna take today off and re-evaluate.

Oh my goodness, how well I know that. During a bad downer I bubbled all the time in those SnGs. I checked my jams with ICMizer (mostly correct), but fish calls with some bizarre hand and gets there.

But donΒ΄t give up, as I said: variance is terrible at those turbos! ThatΒ΄s one reason why I stopped playing them.

DonΒ΄t give up! Those turbo SnGs can put your mental skills really to a hard test!

Confirmed moving back to Stars to grind the $1.50s.... party software froze in last two sessions. Just too unreliable for me to continue!

Never fun to run bad, but don't worry 250 games is a really small sample. Just focus on the process: Putting in volume, studying, staying focused. I'll bet that things will look a lot different at 1k games :f_thumbsup:

OK, we start again! Bankroll Challenge version 3.0!

Starting with $150 at PokerStars, playing $1.50 single table Sit n Go's until I reach (hopefully) $350 and then I can turn to the $3.50 games! My aim is to complete this by end of February 2019!

The session itself was difficult, ran awful but also didn't play very well at times so I'm planning to do a lot of work with ICMIZER over the weekend before I restart the grind.

Specific areas to work on will be bubble play shoving ranges as well as calling ranges from different positions.

I woke up early this morning and put in a decent study session using up the 120 daily hands in the SNG coach which is an absolute God send of a tool!

Not much to report... I've been grinding out ICMIZER the last few days, 120 questions per day in the SNG coach, what an awesome little tool it is!

Have started grinding today but only loading 2-4 tables per set at the moment.

Good luck to the challenge mate! :f_drink:

How do you like the SNG Coach? Do you find it useful? (Planning to try it myself).
