Feb Update 2

The bankroll stood at 539.46 since the last update. Since then I have unlocked my 2nd $10 bonus on Stars and also bought $50 (5%) of a buddies action who plans on grinding .25/.50 on FTP.

I still am 8 tabling $6.50 turbo 18s and probably will be at this level for awhile. I want to put about 1000 games in before I move up just to make since I am confident in my push/fold ranges. I had another review of a few tournaments with my coach and found I was still missing some spots. Since we went over those I have been on a nice little heater. I need only one more tournament to reach Silver Star staus.

This was a quick update I know but the Bankroll currently stands at:

Pokerstars: 337.60
Absolute: 271.56

Total: 609.16

February is Almost over.. Why not update?

Time for an update. When I left off the bankroll was at 167.37. I was playing 6 $3.40 turbo 18s. I was in a downswing/playing bad so it was time for me to get some coaching. I turned to the one guy who I knew wouldnt steer me wrong and that man is ACBarone. Barone has been beasting sitngos for the last few years and I knew he would help me find leaks in my game. You can read his blog here: The Rant

Getting coaching from Barone completely changed my outlook on sitngos. I didnt realize I was one huge leak. After getting the advice I have seen nothing but an upward swing in my results as evidenced by this graph:

Anyways January was a pretty crappy month for myself. It really was depressing knowing I was not playing well. But the coaching humbled me and now I know what I have to do to improve my game. Anyways onto January's figures:

February has been a completely different story and the coaching has been a big part of that. My confidence is at an all time high and I finally think Im starting to get the hang of this monster they call sitngos. Im very close to achieving Silver Star status again on Stars and should be able to deliver that by the weekend. I now am starting to 8 table $6.50 18s and so far the results have been a little better than I know I can sustain but for right now Im just enjoying the ride:

Another big boost took place on Thursday Feb 19th when I Final Tabled the $3 rebuy and finished 5th. It felt good to get a MultiTableTournament in and felt good to be back where I belong at the Final Table. Obviously when I make it that far nothing but 1st is a disappointment but in growing my bankroll any score is great.
