That means resume getting coached lol.

Hello Debi, i just wanna ask u that when u say coaching, do u mean only poker game coaching or does it even include psychology coaching? Cause i think studying psychology also helps a lot in poker. Forgive me if i am wrong...
Wat i mean is , though how much we practice or learn, its ultimately our mind which has to decide the next move and to control ur mind and have it make the right decision as well as to estimate others mind, i personally think that psychology plays a role there...
Anyways good luck with ur mission debs...


Oh and by the way, my goal this march is to keep playing and enjoying poker !!!Money is bound to come anyways !!!

My coach is a poker coach. But there are some good mental coaches out there like Jared Tendler.

So u do take mental coaching too???
If yes, thats really great !!!
If no, try it ones debs, u sure will be more successful !!!

debi doesn't need a psych coach yet given that she doesn't even know how to play poker.

Jared Tendler is a well known mental coach, most famous probably for working with Dusty Schmidt (or at least that's how I know of him).

I'm not going to have all that much time to play this month (grrr Chemical Engineering major...), but I'm gonna try to play 75 +/- $5.50 SNG's this month, on Full Tilt.

Would anyone wanna sweat me 4-tabling the $11 SNG's, by chance? I can crush the $5.50's, but am not nearly as successful (over a small sample) at the $11's.

I need one immediately following any interactions with you.

This month let's go for...

1 - Volume, at least 200 STTs
2 - Move up to the $10 level full time
3 - Profit

Ok, last time I had a bonus at FTP I failed to clear it playing standard SnG's (stupid 6max ST kick).

Let's see how much of this one I can clear playing the $12's.

Need 240 (really 238 but that just looks goofy) to do it.

So there's my monthly goal.

2. 200 sng in a day
3. start multitabling more than 15 tables..

So, I asked PokerStars to send me a list of all $1.50 + .25 18-seat Turbo SNGs I've played so far. I think its my best game and I find it pretty soft and easy to beat.

So far, I've played 57 games and I'm up $37.95 for an ROI of 38.05%.

...It's not a lot of games played. I guess I really don't play them as often as I thought. But knowing that I'm doing somewhat ok (making a profit). On top of that, I did make $150 when I hit the low orbit leader board for battle of the planets, but Im not going to add that as a profit. Just a bonus.

And wow, is my graph swingy! I can't post a pic up now, but sheesh...Especially when I first started playing on pokerstars back in 09. I guess I didn't really understand turbo SNGs or MT SNGs at all and it really shows.

So, yeah...maybe I'll stick with these for a while.

I've never posted to this thread before as I'm conscious that my goals are pretty weedy compared to some of the posters on here but anyway here are my monthly aims...:

1) Play 50 SNG's at $2 + $0.25
2) Achieve ROI > 25%
3) Multitable where possible and maybe move up to 3 tables
4) Finish Collin Moshmann book and apply the principles!
5) Not get seduced by AQ hands.....

All this is subject to a house move that takes place next week which may reduce my time at the tables - suspect my girlfriend will have an issue with me playing poker when there is all sorts of stuff to do around the house!

Good luck to all

Mark

Here is my graph for the 18-seat $1.50 + .25 Turbo SNGs...

Love the swings...going to continue playing them for this month if I can. Probably will only get around 75-100 games in, maybe less. I only 2-3 table at a time.

Also, will be trying for BOP again.

Just capped off a -$26.50 session by getting knocked out by a river two-outer. Happy, happy days...

Thanks WiZZiM, I'll PM you in a little bit.

1. Focus on $2 single-table SNGs exclusively (including the Double Deuce super satellite).
2. Qualify for (and play) the Double Deuce satellite once and play the Double Deuce if I qualify.
3. Qualify for (and play) the FTPA $5000 Freeroll.
4. Qualify for (and play) the Iron Man One-a-Day Freeroll.
5. Play at least 2 out of 4 Sunday $1000 Freeroll (Benelux only) at PokerStars.
6. (Re)read Harrington on Hold'em I, II and work my way through III.
7. Finish reading the Poker Mindset.

So far I qualified for the DD satellite and the FTPA Freeroll. I played one Sunday $1000 Freeroll and finished 472 of 5000 (making $0.50 ). I also finished the Poker Mindset (but I started reading in Feb) and re-read HoH Vol I.

Having a good month so far. I tried 9 tables for the first time yesterday and it went okay. I can only do that on the desktop during the day though -will have to stick to 6 tables at night.

I'm confused about your #4. Shouldn't the goal be to make money?

More real dollars earning is better than better ROI percentages.

I mean it's better to make $200 from $5 SNG's with a low ROI% than $100 from $2 SNG's with a high ROI%.

But playing to be slighly happier than break even at best seems like a strange goal to me.

Are you only playing for rewards points?

Of course I want to win and play to win. But after a negative ROI in February I am just being realistic.

I could say I want an ROI of 50% lol.

I was wondering what you all run on your hud stats for sngs
Im running vpip/pfr%/ag f
flop-fold%/ attsteal/foldbb2steal/winning%

Im looking to start multitabling right now I start a 2nd game when the first is down to 5 players usually 80/160 100/200 in blinds. Running at 33.69 roi and itm at 50% over small sample of 126 games and I am hoping to increase hourly win rate by multitabling.Any input is mucho appreciato

for SNGs I don't think any HUD stuff past VPIP/PFR/AttSteal/FoldBBToSteal is particularly important.

i could even make a case for nothing past VPIP/PFR being important.

After playing a dozen $2+25c SNGs, and being truly amazed that there is actually a game on this planet softer than I've seen before, and taking enough bad beats that I'm only even, and playing horribly myself.
I'm hooked I think.

Adding my monthly goal as:
>100 SNGs
And to learn the basics.
Also I'd like to beat the obvious rocket scientists I'm playing against, even if not by much.

garphs are fun
