6K

6K is reached on scope ( Betfair account ) , so i'm due to step up a level. Next week though we're going away for a few days to Normandie and will wait till i'm back to take it a level higher. Will start first with the 20$ HU's superturbo and the 20 $ regular 6 and 9 seats. Will stay in 12$ for the turbo's at the moment and first see what my thoughts are about the skill at the 20$ level. If i think it's not very much better then 12 , then i change turbo's too.

Started playing a little on stars again too as during the day there's not very much traffic on betfair and too many regs. Decided not to play turbo's on stars but only regs 12 and 18 man sng. So far my roi in these is 87% and 29% . That's for 6$ games. If i'm more used to playing the software i will step up to 12$ games too.

Am on a good run , played one of the new superturbo's MTT on betfair yesterday night and finished 2nd/154 . Could have won as had a flip versus second in chips whil is had him nicely covered, but lost with AK v 66. There were 2 other guys in with 1BB left and this guy calls allin with 66 for 11BB. If he goes out he has 70$ instead of 200$ he has for a certain second if he passes preflop. Proves once more some just don't get it. He went on to win 3 more flips in a row to beat me hu's tho, so i'm just satisfied with the 200$....

May be running well, but i think the biggest change to some months ago is i'm playing better . Because i still get the worst beats imaginable ( this is bubble of 12 man on stars ) :

Back in town

OK . Think i 'm back. Having a good run at the moment. Both hitting more hands and playing more solid. Am on a 500$ upswing in 150 games or so , which is pretty good at 9 - 12$ games. This only confirms what i allready stated in my earlier post : if u want to make a monthly profit u should play at least 1K sng's per month. Otherwise you will always hit some losing months. Decided to not longer withdraw any money from my account. I don't really need it and want to do some proper BRM and move up a stake. I know i will encounter more grinders there but only need to get half the ROI i have now to equal the profit. Plus RB will be higher so profit should be higher. The moment i hit 6K on scope i will move up. Will not look back untill i hit 5K . Hopefully will never look back lol.

Poker is a strange psychological game : all the winning players i know seem to have it so hard/are so frustrated when the fish hit a 20/80% shot. That includes me, i'm also too results orientated. From now on i will work hard on that as it's my biggest leak. We should be happy they stick it in 20/80 ffs !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope the run continues !!!!!!!!!!
