Yet another month has gone by and I haven’t done a damn thing. August was a busy month for me. I took some time to analyze my game and figure out what I was doing wrong and I think I found it.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), writing has been keeping me pretty busy and I haven’t had much time to play. I only played about 100 SNGs this month and haven’t had a chance to make a single post to this blog. I am, however, up a couple of hundred bucks for my limited SNG efforts.
September is also looking bright. I’m making an effort to play at least 300 SNGs every month for now on with 500 being the goal. I still have a lot of writing to do, so it’ll be tough but I don’t want to neglect my poker game. Yesterday alone was almost a $500 day for me.
I’ve also started to work cash back into my game. I’m playing low stakes ($.25/.50 and $.50/$1) on Cake and am doing pretty well there. The players on Cake are pretty god-awful, so I plan on chipping up there whenever I don’t have time to pull a full session of SNGs. I also want to give some of their bigger tourneys a try and am taking some shots in their satellite games.
The only problem with Cake is that I’m having issues with Hold’em Manager importing my sessions so my graph is inaccurate. I’ve decided to use my Sharkscope graph for this site now since I’m primary an SNG grinder on Full Tilt. Here’s the graph for last month (It also includes Sept. 1st and 2nd):
The past 100 or so games have been good to me. I’m confident in my style of play now and I think I only have a few more leaks to plug up before I can run away with this and make some serious cash.
Making $5,000 by the end of the year is going to be tough, but I think it’s still in my reach. My bankroll is at $1423 and change now, which is still significantly below my $2200 high point; but there are still 4 more months left in the year and I’m only getting better
