i should have mentioned that yesterday i was playing 4 tables at a time and i think i did fairly well imo. i'm really not great at playing multiple SNG tables at once since i find it difficult to focus if i'm heads up on two or three at a time. however, i was feeling pretty comfortable. hopefully with continued practice i can slowly increase the number of tables but for now i think 4 is the max i can handle.

pretty good run tonight even though i had a ton of suckouts against me. honestly could have had at least 4 more cashes.

i should have added a graph simply because i had a nice run ;)
i was playing 4 tables at a time again and i was proud that after a crappy start and a bunch of suckouts i managed to keep my cool and stay focused. i might not have time to play this weekend but i may try to sit down one day and bust out like 50 or something to try and get back on track.
btw, i should come clean and admit that all the graphs that i've posted include two extra games that were technically not part of this challenge (one was a 4th i think and the other was a 2nd). i'm just too lazy to figure out how to remove them from the filtering. however, the stats i post are all correct.

also, i am considering possibly moving up to the $7 6max turbos once i hit 100 games if i can keep my ROI at a decent percentage until then. i'm assuming that there isn't too much of an increase in opponents' skill. anyone play the $7s and have an opinion on that?

been a while lol but i'm trying to get back into playing regularly. figured i'd try to continue with my bread and butter games. the plan is to play enough to get me into the next VIP status level for the month. i probably won't make it at this stake level but it's a goal i'll aim for.

Good luck. What are the rake for the turbo SNGs that you play? Instead of going for PartyPoker VIP Palladium status, I'm trying to find the site with the highest rakeback for SNGs.

okay, the truth is i haven't been playing these. i think i had another 5 game losing streak and took a break as it was the worst run i have had since starting this challenge (actually probably one of my worst ever for SNGs - something like 1 first and 1 second in 20-ish games or something like that).
in my defense though, i've been reluctant to switch back as i'm currently on a crazy heater playing pot limit omaha zoom $0.02-$0.05 tables. i've only sat down to 8 sessions or so (anywhere from 300-600 hands per session), but i've been slaughtering. i've only lost one session for around one buy-in. every other session i've at least doubled my buy-in if not won more. i started just with one table but the last few times i've been playing two tables (zoom is crazy fast so not sure if i can add more anytime soon).
yesterday was my best day so far. i played a couple session on two tables. first one i finished up around $15 and the second i smashed it for around $50 in profit.
i don't have omaha tracking software so i don't know the specifics, but my guess is that i'm up over $100 so far in around 4000-5000 hands. for now i'm going to keep pushing it in these and hope the variance will hold off for a bit longer.

since pokerstars has their 'golden sit and goes' promotion on this week i think i may try to play a few of these again. i've been feeling pretty confident and doing well at the MTTs lately (4 final tables recently) so it may be difficult for me to pull myself away from them. not sure if this promotion is even worth the time though.

No. No poker tonight sadly. Maybe later.

was just about to sit down and play some of these until i realized that i apparently did not save the info on my previous games (possibly up to 20 of them). now i'm annoyed and tilted. guess that's the end of this challenge as i feel that omitting those games (which i happened to run pretty badly in) is kind of like cheating. fack.
