2007 Targets

Re: 2007 Targets

I think I'm going to count this one as achieving target 5 although I will probably try for a seat at the Laddies poker cruise later this year. Hopefully the legends won't be too good and I can win some money for charity. FBF

Won it. Pished now. Need to sleep. FBF

Re: 2007 Targets Picture of me with the Everton Poker Legends cup and some of the lads who took part. The other chap at the front is Alan Whittle, great fella and I just managed to get the best of him heads up. For those interested blog has been updated with the tales from that day. Also on a mega heater at the $20 SNGs. Not looking forward to the negative variance. FBF

Re: 2007 Targets Been on a massive heater since stepping up to the $20 SNGs. I know it is only a small sample and that I am getting the good side of variance, but the aim of this STT target I set at the start of the year was to get up to the higer buy-ins from zero exposure. Therefore I have to step up if I am to have any chance of being bankrolled to play the $100 SNGs by the end of the year. I have the diligence to step down if I bust my 10 buy-ins at the $30 SNGs. FBF

From the blog :- At the end of March I built up my SNG cash flow (from zero) to $440 giving me the bankroll to step up to the $20 SNGs. I expected my ROI to drop from the 30% I had on the 10s and after my first few SNGs at the $20s I was worried it was going to take a lot of SNGs before I could step up to the $30s. Anyway, I went on a massive heater and after 24 SNGs my bankroll is above the $770 I need to step up to the $30 SNGs; It's currently at $775. The $770 gives me enough to drop 10 buy-ins before I need to step down to the $20s and start to rebuild. Hopefully, I will not be stepping down from the $30s. My ROI and ITM are not really valid after only 24 SNGs but at 59% and 58% respectively they are clearly solid results; even if I am getting the best side of variance. As I was 4 tabling the $20s my hourly rate over those 24 SNGs was $36; now that is getting about halfway towards what I would like to see as a long-term sustainable rate. Nice structure on iPoker which suited my game but as there is a distinct lack of liquidity at the $30s I may move over to FT. I wish I had a rakeback account with FT and may look into changing my account with them. I need $1,320 in my SNG bankroll to step up to the $50s. At a 10% ROI that is going to take 167 entries.

Re: 2007 Targets Have you looked at Boss? They have reasonable liquidity on the $30 games and the games arent THAT tough..... With the $50 games, which I'm sure you'll br at in no time at all, it's a longer structure/more starting chips :ok

Re: 2007 Targets After running good on the SNGs I went on a heater on the cash games and I'm now looking to step up to 4 tabling the $100NL. Blog post below :-

Last night took the Laddies cash game bankroll to up over $1,000 and now I'm ready to step up to 4 tabling the $100NL games. From the charts below you can see I went on a few extended periods of relatively flat profitability but the general trend is upwards and I had a mega heater over 1k hands at the $50 buy-ins. The games are still relatively soft although not as much action on overbets compared to what you see on the $20 buy-in games. Although the 8/2 players I see on there can still be profitable. Still a large volume of players (and the gamblers appear after a win on the sportsbook on a Saturday night). So I was beating the game for about 24BB/100 over a very small sample of hands (nearly 5k) and this translated into an hourly rate of ~ $22. Of the 16 players I have in my PT DB with 2.5k hands or more there are 6 beating this level, the next best return after mine is 21BB/100. So whilst these are really small volume of hands I am confident I am beating it enought to step up. I also don't think I ran particularly well at the $50 buy-in. Got stacked a few times and overplayed big pairs a number of times as well. However, I'm not prepared to analyse my game at the moment in any level of detail even though I know I can make many improvements. If it's not brokes then don't fix it and I've had problems in the past after trying to apply 'moves' that I've read about, or remove leaks from my game. I'll only start to analyse my game and look to make improvements once I can't beat a level. Next decision for me is whether to move straight into the $100NL or play the $30SNGs. Party are offering me a $100 bonus that I think would take 50 $30 SNGs to clear. That would force me into playing 50 SNGs over the next week. Tempted to go straight into the $100NL though. Decisions, decisions. PT stats for my NL challenge :- Chart at $50NL :- Chart for Laddies cash game challenge :- FBF
