January Review / Next Steps / fml edit

Well. January was interesting. Started on ~400 and ended ~650. Am currently on 590 with $20 of tournaments registered for, so 610 in real terms. (Just came back from 6.1k : 1.4k at 100-200 hu to win a sng, ship)

Jauary was a weird month. After looking at OPR, Sharkscope and PO its clear I need to have a bit of a think. Spring/Summer last year I was a 6max cash hero, 6 tabling at NL50 at around 6ptbb/100 + rb. However, am stuck 6 buyins over 3k hands on ongame! I know this is a tiny sample, and my equity is way different to my actual balance, but I think I need to stick to sngs and tournaments whilst I only have 10-12 buyins. In cash I play pretty laggy and this means high variance. It also means people have started to call down pretty light, and 12 buyins playing this style just isnt enough!
After talking with Joe last week and in general reviewing previous results, have decided to turn back to SnGs. The variance is still super high, especially in the turbos, but im pretty confident I can grind out a ~15% ROI + rb in the $10 ones. Given I 4 table, and a turbo takes ~ 15 mins, i can probably do 10-12 an hour, so an hourly of around $16. I know this isn't much, but it beats £6/hour bar work.

Ironically, these haven't been going great. The $5 ones I killed over the weekend at 20% roi, but couldn't for the life of me hold in any of the $10 games! Some standard adam runningg good hands:

I know the above are all beats. And no-one likes to hear someone moan. But seriously? Hopefully i'll start running ok/good soon.

Misclick pre. But lol nonetheless. This is a £15 deepstack tournament, good to see there's still some value.

So what now?

I guess i'll just keep plugging away at the sngs. In every game there is at least one or two complete spewers, and out of 50-60 games ive played in past week have only come across two players who i have "pretty solid" notes on.

Off to Spain on Thursday, maybe Owe will lend me his luckbox!

Just played 7 sngs. Didnt cash in any. Balance 510. Got to 3 handed in 6 of them, all with between 7-10 bbs. A10 with 5 bbs ran into QQ. A9 vs A3 and he hit. 1010 vs AJ. KJ ship 7bbs button, bb snaps with A9 and holds. One was comical 3 handed...lost 3 60:40s in 5 hands as CL doubling shorties then a 65:35 when we all had even stacks. I win one of them..i cash. Standard 16:1 shot. Lol.

Edit: Won final one of eve, balance 546.
