So recapping, i started my bankroll again in October with $50 and going into the new year i had gotten it upto $280. However a 10 buy-in loss on the 1st & 2nd JAN put me back to $180.
Meanwhile Pokerstars decided to change the way/amount they give out in bonus' on cash tables, so being the NIT i am it would have meant losing about 30%.
I have been toying with this idea for ages now, and seeing as i haven't seemed to really get anywhere over the last couple of years playing cash games, and now that the bonus' have changed i have decided to stop playing them and instead move onto playing SNG tornys instead.
Pretty big decision i know but i have messed around with sngs over the years, have a pretty good knowledge of ICM and whilst this bankroll is still in its infancy it seemed like the perfect opportunity to change, and learn as i go!!
I have been playing the $3.50 fifty50 turbo SNGs the last couple of days and being messing around with all the settings on TableNinja/Pokerstars options and Holdem Manger/HUD and seem to have got things as i like them. My HUD is pretty different to anything i have seen on blogs etc so i will see how it goes (later post).
Today was my first day of playing some sessions and i played 66 game (approx 16 games at once) and did well, although a small sample it is a positive start. I finished almost $40 in profit and earned more VPPs than i would have done playing the same period on cash games.
My only goals for 2012 is to build my bankroll, make profit on the tables and achieve Supernova status on Pokerstars.
I use to play the 9 player SNGs takes about an hour to cash in them but you can do very well or the $4.40 180 player won that a couple times . Anyway good luck..
