Hi guys :)

Let me introduce myself first: I'm m1ndgr1nd3r (or at least this is my pokerstars username :D), I'm a student in my early twenties from Budapest. I used to play microstakes cashgames and I had a decent winrate(although it was decreasing slowly). Last summer I started to learn how to play turbo husngs, but i didn't like playing them, so I continued playing cashgames. However,later I met a guy who plays midstakes HTHU and also stake other microstakes players. Fortunately I met his requirements and I became a staked player. Well, the first 500 sng was awful: I made a lot of mistakes and I lost 270$, and in the next 2 months I hadn't played at all because I was ill. I started grinding "seriously" in november, here is the result:

It could be better, but i played a lot in autopilot mode. I felt the majority the players are much worse than me so i risked moving up to 15$.

I've played 358 already, my roi is 0.12% and my ev roi is -2.81%. I know 358 sng is not a big sample size, but I know there's something wrong with my play, because my showdown winnings are pretty good, but I lost a lot in non-showdown pots. I'm pretty sure my ranges are too tight and I fold too much against barrels with better hands. I want to fix this problem ASAP, I dont care about the actual winnings, I want to beat the 15$ players with a good 3% roi, this is my only goal. I dont want to move up in the near future to 30$, I will be happy with the money I can win here.

I will watch Sentin's videopack this weekend, and I plan to post hands here in order to improve.

So, my short term goals:

1. Beat 15$  games with 3% roi single tabling
2. Add tables and reach the highest possible $/hour

Good luck guys! :)
