Bankroll is increasing

Played 3 SNGs this weekend.
The first one was a complete nigthmare. With the blinds still at 10/20 I went all in with AK in my hands and an AK on the board. I didn't take notice of the Jack on the board and was beaten with a straight. I knew that I was in problem when I went all-in and 2 players called me. I had beaten the first caller but the other one had to best hand.

The second one was a 6 seater 2$+0.50$. I played very well and was happy when I was still on the table during heads up. I played rock solid. Stealing the blinds, folding my weaker hands and won the game and my highest pot of 7.80$.

The 3rd one was a regular 5 seater 0.90$+0.10$. Was a strange one cause when only 3 of us where left everybody started playing very strict. Still managed to become second and again a pay-out of 1.35$.

My bankroll now is at 23.20$. If I want to win back to car we bougth for my wife yesterday I still have a lot of dollars to go. Something like 19987$. Lol.

I have to admit that reading about Poker is an absolute must. The best way to start is with a book for beginners. Even if you are already playing some time but haven't read a book I would still advice it. Without the book I read I probably had no profit.

Fucked up last nigth

In my rush to going to the pub I played 3 quick SNGs without succes.
In one of them I managed to get 2th but I'm embarresed by the other two.

This drops my bankroll to 18.40$.

Tomorrow probably not a lot of Poker.

Edit: I really fucked up. After coming back drunk from the pub I played 2 SNGs. One was an extreme 2.20$ turbo SNGtournament. Luckely I came in second their and winning .80$. This due to an all-in on the first hand. I had a pocket pair of 8s. One of the other called my with pocket pair of 5s. Luckely I won.

My bankroll is now 18.20$. My VIP points are not increasing fast, cause if the 1$ SNGs.
While this was pure luck, I never should play druink again.

Maybe next week cause I'm forced to go on a business trip. What else can you do in the hotel room.

My bankroll is over 20$ Yeah!!!

Played 5 SNGs (5 seaters 1$) today.
The first one I ended as second. So I had a little profit of 0.35$.
The second one was maybe my worst SNG which I played this week. Even amased that I ended as 4th.
The third one again second. So at that moment in time I had a loss of 0.30$.

But then the 4the SNG was the jackpot. Played calm sometimes strict, sometimes loose. And won the SNG pretty easy. The only thing I had to do was keep my cool and wait for good cards. The other players at the table were pretty strict, but at I crucial moment in the SNG I got pocket aces, the round after that AKs. Playing such a hand well can make a big different in a SNG.

Because I had a profit now, I afforded myself to play a 5th and came in second again.
So 80% of the SNG I played I ended in the money. My total profit of the night is 2.20$. Which bring my bankroll for the first time over the 20$. (20.05$ to be exact.).

I'm thinking about playing the 1$ SNG a little bit longer than planned. I still learn from it. And probably I should not expect such a ROI on 2.5$ SNGs, so I need a bigger bankroll for that.

3SNGs

Played 3 SNGs in the last two days. All three of them 5 seaters of 1$. The first one I came in first, the second I cam in second and the last one I got crushed and ended at the 4th place.

On wednesday I got a 5$ bonus from my Pokerroom. A starting bonus. Strange cause my account is more then a year old.

Any way, my bankroll is something about 17,50 at the moment. So cannot complain.

It is strange how more SNGs I played how tighter i'm playing, which is not a good strategy in low level SNGs. But still learning. I will play these 1$ SNGs untill my bankroll hits 25$. After that I will play 1 2.50$ SNG for each 3 1$ SNGs.

2 SNGs

Played 2 SNGs today. One 2$ + 0.5$ (10 places) in which I ended second. Probably I rushed when I was heads up. We had almost the same amount of chips and I went all in with K10, while he had A9.
The boards show 2 Jacks. So bye bye. Still second place is good enough for 6$, so a profit of 3.50$. This is a lot more than I make with sports betting. It would be a dream making this king of profit each day with sports betting, my first love. (Check-out http://dremeber-mybets.blogspot.com )

The second one was a 0.9$ + 0.1$. Came in second. Should have won it had him on his knees but I failed. Then with the chip count even. I got an A9 u, so I raise. He re-raised all-in. I decided to call it. He shows K9spades. The flop shows 3 spades. Bad luck I guess cause the river was an Ace.

So my total ante was 3.5$. And my winnings are: 7.35$ So a profit of 3.85$. Not bad for one day. If I'm capable of getting this profit each day of the year my total would be a stunning 1405$. Dreams!!!!!

My bankroll still is equal to my net profit this year is 12.45$. While it is not much and change for most people I'm still proud of it.

Good Luck,

Started again

Hi all,

Since a week I'm playing Poker again with good results.
First of all I started with reading a book, while it had nothing much new things in it it was still good to read it. You look at your cards at a different way.

Friday evening I played 3 SNG tournaments. All 3 of them with a 2.20€ deposit. 2 SNGs where Texas Holdem NL and one was Omaha (a mistake). I won one and became second in the Holdem and was 4th on the Omaha.

So if you want to start increasing your Poker playing capabilities reading a book won't hurt.

I started this year with a deposit of 5$. When my bankroll hit 13.20$, I banked my intial 5$. So I'm palying with free money at the moment. Let's see how long it will take before I have to deposit again.
