Hello everybody.

This year is ending and this was my first year in the poker World, I have learned a lot and everyday I see I still have a lot to learn.
Well last month I went broke and since then I have not played anymore, instead I have studied really a lot!

I'm feeling prepared to test myself again and I have a new perspective of the game now, so I'm getting back into the felt with a deposit of $ 100,00 in the intent to play $1/45p and $1/180p Sit and Go's, at least 20 games a day. As time passes my intent is to raise the number of games a day, getting something close to 45 to 50 a day in the end of 2014.

I'd like some advice on that. Do you guys think I should be playing STT instead of 45 and 180 players format since I will get a bigger sample of my game in a lower variance?

Any bonuses codes for deposits?

Thanks in advance.

At any given time, play whatever you think you'll enjoy most. At entry-level stakes and with a recreational BR, your focus should be improving your game. In terms of your poker "career", this is waaaaaay more important than a small difference in your profitability right now.

The case can also be made, although not proven, that you're likely to win the most by playing what you enjoy most.

As for increasing how many games you play, I'd plan to do that as I get more comfortable and establish that I'm +EV, not because of how long I've been playing.

From what I learned till now, I can say it is hard to win something by only playing at SNGs tournaments. But it is right too that if you like playing SNGs and you think you are good enough for this type of poker, you should play it. :)

Play whatever you dominate, don't tilt, play smart, and 30 buyins should be more than enough.

Thanks for the reply bro!

So I used to play cash games until the start of this year, was playing 5NL 16 tables and I could beat it (sample of 50k+ hands played). Then I started playing SnG $ 4,50 180p, I played 86 tourneys and made a profit of $ 250,00, then I went back to cash games but now at NL10, I started losing a lot, tilted, raised the stakes and comitted the mistake most beginners do... I tilted and went broke.

So, now that I understand the real importance of bankroll management and to respect my stakes, I'm willing to play a huge volume in the 45p and some in the 180p (30% in the maximum), my goal is to make 10k games by the end of 2014 and have at least $ 1.000,00 bankroll so I can move up stakes, of course slowly so I can get used to the new moneyswings.
