45-Mans

Well I haven't been able to get anything done in MTTs for a couple weeks now and the 45-mans were looking grim there for awhile. In fact I was on a pretty nasty downswing but the 45-mans have taken a turn for the better at least. I thought I would post a couple Sharkscope graphs.






The first stat is just my $26 45-man results. I've played 599 of them and am running a 42% ROI. Thats good enough for 8th on the average profit leaderboard weeeeeee.

The second stat is my overall SNG results including when I used to grind single-table sngs. Feels pretty good to be over the 10K profit hump especially considering my average stake is only $18 bucks.

Heres my overall sng graph:



















And heres my $26 45-man graph:


















In both graphs you can clearly see my recent downswing. It was about a 35 buy-in downswing at its worst. I was losing nearly every flip, every 60/40, and every 80/20 possible. This is why bankroll management is by far the #1 most important thing when it comes to being a successful poker player. I wouldn't play 45-mans with any less than a 100 buy-in roll.

Anyway I'm happy to be on the sharkscope leaderboard and proud to say I have one of the best ROIs of any of the $26 45-man grinders on Full Tilt. I hope I can make some noise in MTTs soon cuz I haven't made a FT in almost three weeks now and I'm itching for a good score. I've been playing a lot of Sunday majors lately and have yet to even min-cash anything. Its been an awful run. But after running like God for two months I guess I had to expect things would cool off sooner or later. Oh well.

glglglgl out there!

Quick Update

Running like garbage. Fuck bubbling $163 tourneys after playing amazing for four hours. Fuck 45-mans. Fuck Sundays (don't even get me started on Sundays). But especially... FUCK STARS. I mean wtf? How can I run like complete trash for an entire month over there? I try to stay rational and focused but the non-sense never ends.

I haven't looked forward to playing lately. I finally fire up some tourneys because I have nothing better to do. I know I just won a tourney last week but I can't stand to have so many consecutive losing sessions in a row, especially now that I'm playing higher buy-in tourneys on a daily basis.

Oh well. I know this will turn around it always does. The only good news is that I should be jumping onto the $16 to $35 Average Profit Leaderboard on Sharkscope sometime today. I haven't been eligible for this leaderboard yet because you have to have at least 500 games within the $16 to $35 buy-in range to even be considered for the leaderboard. I have like 489 games right now. I'll pass the 500 mark today and probably qualify for the leaderboard. It will be important to me that I maintain my place on that leaderboard for a long time. I pretty much crush the 45-mans when I'm not running like shit.

I'll leave you with this hilarious, two-minute long video:
