5:13am: The key to my success tonight was consistency. When bad things happened, I didn’t let them compound into something that could potentially effect the way I play. After having put in a solid week of 24 games/day, I’m starting to realize that there’s SUPPOSED to be a bunch of ups and down throughout the day, and that’s my JOB to handle it accordingly.
$200 isn’t peanuts, and that’s how much is on the table every time I sit down with an opponent to play a heads up sit n go. Being as such, should one really expect that it be easy? I don’t think so. Having always had a complete respect for money, and how hard it is to come by, I feel that grinding $100 heads up sit n gos is a absolute privilege and I’m so fortunate to be able to play at these stakes. If the math holds up, I should make more this year than some engineers.
Back to tonight: there was really only one “rough patch” of 2-4 games, where it could have gone either way, but unfortunately went the wrong way, so I had to accept it, move on, and not let it affect the rest of the night. Moving on was an understatement, as I would then go 5-1 after that point to close out the night.
As soon as I get the hang of all this volume, I’ll be on total auto-pilot from here on out, until eventually I hit the $200s (shooting for Jan 2009, but that’s ok if not).
Good luck to anyone playing in a session today!
More later…
nice session.
hey trujm, have you ever analysed these ppl that beat you? I only have the limited sharkscope use but it seems the times you get beaten its from donkeys who dont play often or have jumped up from playing $5 sngs etc.. ie unpredictable.
Do you look for these ppl or do they just happen to fall into your sharktank?
From time to time, I take a look at that. I find the people I have the most problem with are the people with lower than -20% roi’s and people with higher than +20% rois. Every where and everyone else in the middle is usually my comfort zone.
It also depends on the reason they have such a low roi. If they have a low roi because they are weak tight, I will more than likely run all over them. If they have a low roi because they like to put it all in on draw, then that’s the players who are most dangerous to me.
Ideally, if I could hand select my opponents, I’d probably prefer to play people with like -5% roi all day long, for personal reasons.
I guess that’s a good thing when you reduce your opponents to having to draw to win, though.
Glad to see you making a nice profit. I’ve just restarted playing HUSnG again, albeit the $5.25 level and things have started well, winning 26 from 40 in 2 days.
What sort of streaks have you experienced? I won 8 in a row, then lost 3 from 4 then another run of 7 straigh wins.
I’m no HU specialist (yet LOL) but it seems the play at the $5.25 is horrific
My longest winning streak is 18, and my longest losing streak is 8-9 I believe.
