WTF? Another terrible week. I run so bad its sickening. This week included a record setting 21 games out of the money streak. That was totally insane. All I can say is that I will bounce back because I always do!

My best week ever. Great comeback from last weeks terrible results. Was really fun as my pushes never seemed to get called and when called I always won anyways :D. Really worked on my game Sunday last week looking through hands and reading the 2+2 forums. Helped get my confidence back on track.

Week 15

Results

Rakeback: $174
VIP bonus: $14
------------------------
-$1272

My first really bad week this year. Probably just variance, but I kind of felt it coming after the one week break. Don`t think I played my A-game all the time, and lost my confidence because I though I might had forgot how to play.

Week 14

Took a break this week and did not play at all. Will probably not get in much play the coming months because of exams and other school stuff.

I am very pleased with the results. Considering I do most of my play at hours which are not the best (11am-6pm US east cost) I think my ROI is pretty good.

According to pokertracker I played 304 hours of SNGs which gives me a $/hr of $61 including VIP etc. My rate for clearing bonuses was probably less. I would guess something around $30-$40. Because I really hate it and I make more playing SNGs, which I love playing I will not do a lot of bonus clearing the coming months.

Record day!

Yesterday was my best day ever playing SNGs, both in games played and profit. I made $2000 playing 95 tournaments, totally wiping out the 35 buyin downswing I was on. As I got 14 1sts and 14 2nds, I also made a leap in the leaderboard race and managed to get into the top 50, which I thought would be impossible. Poker is easy!

Goals week 13

I will be upgraded to gold in the partypoker players club and start making points at 2x the standard rate at the end of this week. Because of this I will aim at making the double VIP bonus. Hope to get in a lot of games as I really want to make the leaderboard top 60 as well. This week will also mark the end of the first quarter and I will make a summary post for this.

Week 12

A solid week. Unfortunately I didn`t get to play this weekend so I slid on the leaderboard. Top 50 is out of reach and I will really have to work hard to make top 60.

Leaderboard quest

Because I have played a lot this month I am pretty high on the leaderboard. My main goal will be to make top 60 and get the $250 bonus + tournament entry. If I run good the rest of the week I will probably aim for top 50 which would be really cool and net me $100 extra.

Updated graph

Here is an updated graph including the games I played this morning.

Nice to have an above average week again. Had to do the Party bonus just for fun. 10-tabled $50NL 6-max and got in about 400 raked hands/hour, so I cleared it in 2.5 hours. Sweet!

Goals week 9

Play 200 Speed SNGs to meet my Accelerator bonus target. Do a better job at reviewing my play, find a better way to track my results and make a graph of my speed SNG play thus far.

Week 8

I have been so busy that I have not had time to make any updates before today.

Results
SNGs:
160SNGs played
36.25% ITM, 11.36% ROI 22-14-22---102
Profit $1000
Rakeback: $155
VIP bonus: $178
------------------------
$1333

What looked to be another huge week after I went 5-3-0--6 and +$900 Saturday quickly turned into an average week after I gave it all away in 55 games Sunday. I had several school papers and really had to squeeze in the SNGs to make my VIP goal. Not much time to review my play, but I felt I played pretty well most of the time.

Thursday, February 23, 2006

Goals week 8

Play 200 Speed SNGs to meet my Accelerator bonus target. I have a lot to do so no time for anything else.

Week 7

This has been a great great week. With the changes at partypoker this week pokertracker has not tracked my results very well, so I have had to go through my account statements, to figure out my record.

Results
SNGs:
209 SNGs played
94 old SNGs
48.94% ITM, 42.17% ROI 11-22-13---48
Profit $2180

36 new regular SNGs
25% ITM, -34.34% ROI 2-2-5---27
Profit -$680

79 new speed SNGs
44.3% ITM, 33.50% ROI 9-19-7---44
Profit $1455

Total profit SNGs: $2955
Rakeback: $212
VIP bonus: $198
------------------------
$3365

As you can see I was very pleased when the speeds started running as I simply hated the slow regular ones (and my luckbox was useless in them). I will start a new chart and record my speed results in a new database as my results in the old ones is not very relevant anymore. Hopefully pokertracker will soon has an update which makes the recording of results easy again.
