Hi everyone,

I am starting my https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=325001 Here I intend to register my weekly results.

Starting roll: $ 184.84
Goal: $ 1320.00

Then I'll have 300 buy-in to ABI of $ 4.40.

I am playing $1.50, 45 man SNG with a conservative bankroll management. And the idea is climb up the levels up to $1,320.00.

Regards and good luck.

Hiya. Following :) just started playing the 45 man again after a failed cash adventure. Feel like the 45 man and mtt format suits me much better.

Question. Is there a video series or books you can recommend? Kinda lost in all this information.

Goodluck at the tables!

Hi everyone,
This week is going well. My goals of increase volume and ROI is lightly working. I played 35 tournaments in these 5 days. My ROI is 26.5% that witch is still low given the volume. I am developping well my game with doubts in very few spots. Fun fact: today I took 4 bad beats in 6 tournaments.
See you later.

Hi everyone,
I achieved my volume goal and even passed it, when I played 18 tournaments today, I increased to 3 tables per section and played 6 sections. The bad news is that I lost very much today then my ROI monthly is zero. Now my most important goal will be INCREASE MY ROI. To this I will have to find my leaks, and the best way for this is review my new hand history. It's like I would must learn the game again. It's really a working hard.
See you later.
Here the is a graphic of my results on Febrary. It's possible sees the negative results dut to increased my tables per section:

Why doesn't code work?

Hi PokerGenesis,
The link did not work because you used the link for the entire page.
If you go to that page, then right-click on the graph, then choose "copy image location" or similar it will work.

You can tell if an image link will work because it ends in .jpg, .png, .gif or another valid image file type.
If it doesn't end in one of those it won't work.

All the best,
VS

Focusing on roi is total waste of energy. MTT has lot of variance so I would not care about roi before at least 1000 games and results can differ hugely on that sample still. Also in general posting result info after every game day is sort of useless. Focus more on hands you had problems or positional stats from tracker etc. Those things will help you to improve.
