So you play MTT's and 180's mixed? Is there a reason for it? Just curious! 
Good luck to you either way!

180's are excelent for MTT starter, because they are the most similar to MTT's. So first of all you get great practise. More FT's, more HU, so when you get deep in MTT you are familiar with the situation. Other reason is that I find them profitable. Recently I also start to playing $5 90-man knockouts so I get practise also for bounty builders or progressive super knockouts.Thanks for your support and wish you very best with your challenge!

AFTER 11th WEEK UPDATE
One week up and one down. So you can imagine how previous week end. Yea in red numbers. But will get on track soon. Don't worry.
Start playing $8 180's and what I saw I can tell you that they are not much difference. Still a lot of bad plays so I am sure that I can have at least 10% ROI there. That mean that only think that I need is BR. I increase it by SC's, so now I cash out everything above $800.
Also $8 180's are not starting as often as $2.50's so I need to play both anyways. It is just impossible to play just $8 because of such a small volume. I multitable 14 tables, but should step down to 12, because my comp can't hande that.
So. It didn't go well with $8's and also knockouts are not paying me off lately. And that is reason why I have more than $400 hole. But will grind it back.
Plan for grinding:
- register on MTT's with 200 BI strategy
- register on sattelites with 500 BI strategy
- register on MTT's with sattelite option with 100 BI strategy
- play $2.50 180's
- start playing $5 knockouts when have BR over $400
- start playing $8 180's when have BR over $600
This plan is aggro, but I know I can handle it and with little bit of luck on $8 180's I can increase BR to 1k what will give me more conservative BR. It is troue that I can make enough by playing $2.50 180's with combination of $5 knockouts and 1k BR will be perfect for doing it. And this brings me to conclusion that it would be best to play just those games and don't take shots untill I get more secure financial situation.

APRIL GOALS
New month start and I decide to set some goals for it. March didn't end as I wish, but if I look at it as a whole it was month that I need to have. So I definitely must not be too downhearted about it. But stil I aim for more and here it is how to achieve it.
PLAY AT LEAST 2800 180's
Untill today I played 2724 games on $2.50 limit and have 18.61% ROI with profit of $1.2k.
And I must also add that yesterday I played 140 games and have absolutely terrible day.
I believe that I can have at least 20% ROI. I aiming for that or even higher, but expecting at least 12%.
HAVE 20 GRINDIG DAYS
Those 20 days I will grind heavily. At least 140 180's per day with some MTT's. Because of that my grinding day will be verry long. Something from 12 till 14 hours or even more. And during those days I won't study. Just take a quick look of some hands that I mark last day before I start to grind.
When I will study? I set 4 study days, which will not be really study ones. I set those 4 days if something unexpected happen, so it won't ruin my grinding days.
However. If I get some realy big score (read over $1000) on MTT then I will adjust and invest more hours in study. But if that happen, I will take coaching, so coach can overlook my game and tell me what to look for and where are my biggest leaks, so I will be able to spend study time as it best.
HAVE 6 OFF DAYS
Those 6 days I will spend fully with my gf. Not even turn on computer or watch TV all day. Wanna be out on fresh air as much as possible. This will be challenge as well, because I turn on my comp as soon as I wake up. But it is crucial to do that because of so many hours that I am spending at comp. Because of that I get some weight. Right now I don't find time to change that, but in future everything is possible. If April shows me that I have right time management and that I can stick to my plans by not changing them all the time, then I will do something on that area in May.
This is it for now. More on Monday. Wish you very best off and on the tables.
AFTER 12th WEEK UPDATE
April start where March ends.

This start to frustrate me. Yesterday can't win with AA when gone AI PF. I know about variance, but this is really brutal. Especially when I lost hands in crucial stage of tournament. But I am glad that I keep my focus on good decisions. I hope to be able to get coaching ASAP so I will get clearer picture if my game is good enough for 12% ROI or not. Also computer causes me troubles. It start to over heat and shots down. I really need new one, so I hope for good results ASAP.
But yea. I know that month just start and I will get results. Just need commitment and clear direction.
Clear direction is something that was not in my arsenal lately. Because of that I set goal of 2800 180's this month. Will not play and 90's knockouts. I really wanna see that volume at the end of the month.

AFTER 16th WEEK UPDATE
Yesterday won another MTT. So far I manage to get on 3 FT's and won them all. But this was just €0,10 tournament on PS.fr where I build bankroll without deposit. My screen name is 190207. Will maybe I will close this BR challenge and open the one from PS.fr because I constantly cash out from my PS.eu account. Yea. Will win SCOOP event close that challenge and open PS.fr one where I have over €8 from no deposit.

It wasn't really bink, since I get only $5. But thanks anyway! Also manage to get to another FT yesterday on 6max turbo MTT for $0.10 and finish 4th. So I am preparing for bink from SCOOP. :f_cool::f_drink:
AFTER 17th WEEK UPDATE
It is time for me to write something here. Lately I start to play some Spins. Playing 2 or 3 tables alongside with MTT tables. My plan with them is to play them more or less just for SC's and oportunity to bing big. So I will start to study them little bit. Right now I didn't do any studying for them and have 80 cEV/tournament over 500 games. But those are $0.25 (€0.25 on PS.fr). I probably should have over 100cEV/T there, since they are ultra soft. But that format is also variance havy, so I don't know if my expectation for 100 is correct. Will see what cEV/T will have at the end of the month. Also I will take 100BI strategy.

Jernej enjoy the Spins, they are lot of fun!
Last month I had 4 swings for 40+ buy ins on sample of 3k games with expected 4-5% pre RB ROI on 15s. I would suggest minimum 200 buy ins for limits where you feel you are crushing and for higher limit use 300 or more buy ins.
Good luck my friend and crush it!
Thanks Pedja! Yea I see you are doing great job on them. More or less I just play them to bing something and because of that I came up with so aggro BI strategy. Also that $0,25 Spins are real joke. Opponents are limp calling with T6o in first hand of the game even on 6x multiplayer. I don't know if higher are similar situation, but I doubt. So for higher ones will definitely take more BI's.

In my opinion very good TGIM but unfortunately they need to remove it so I did the same.
Jernej expect those plays on every limit up to 60s with the difference of frequency that they occur. I found 7s to be of similar nature that you described. Think you would do well on 3s with large enough bankroll. You can make steady 1k on that limit with solid grind and work. Remember that rake changes affected ITM %. So playing 0.25$ is not good for your win rate as you need larger cEV. I will send you via Skype Swong Sim, simulation program where you enter your expected cEV, limit, rakeback, and you can see expected ROI and winnings on sample of game that you choose along with variance for it.
Log into your Skype, sent you file there. If you are around now I can show you in 5 minutes how it works.
