Tired Of Being Broke | HU Super-turbos

Hi guys, 

I'm GCBUC, (short for Get Comfortable Being UnComfortable). I joined HUsng.com in may hoping to start this blog/project but never got to it. This time it's for real! (I hope) wink

​I haven't played poker for about 6 months and haven't played seriously for almost 2 years. At that time I played MT SnG's with decent results. 

Reason for starting playing again is that I need an extra income during last semester at university, and maybe also in the future if I can manage to make playing poker into a habit again. This is really my biggest challenge. 

I have playied about 200 HU Super-Turbo SnG's on iPoker on the €5 buy-in. Mostly one tabling and will continue to do so for the rest of the month I think. 
These 200 took me two weeks to play. So I really need to up the volume. cheeky

First 200-ish SnG's

Goals for the coming week is to slowly up the volume of play, maintaining 1-table for now. 

Best of luck, 
GCBUC

Day 1

My goal for today was to play 40 games, and I did. I could have played more but the last once were really tilting. 
Unfortunately I got multi-coolered a few times to often. 

At least i managed to reach my goal for today. 
It started of rather badly. I did some mistakes. Mid graph I played really well. I had a hard time getting matches going at times. From the half way point I lost really to many matches. Really tilting at one point. I think I still played fine though.

 

I think I will go for the same amount tomorrow and maybe get some numbers in green. :)

Get comfortable being

Get comfortable being uncomfortable, that's a really cool motto, I like what it means.

Good luck on the goal. Try to hang in there mentally when losing, remember, as part of being a great player, handling that 20 buyin downswing to make sure it doesn't turn into 30 games bc of tilt is very important. So is playing your best when on a 20 buyin heater so that it turns into a 25 buyin heater. Basically, play your best, the results will follow, try to separate your emotions from the variance.

Day 2

Thank you RyPac13 for your interest and for the wise words. What you say is definitely true. 

Today was a bit better than yesterday. 
The day started of slowly though but i stayed cool and kept playing solid. I then ran rather good between game #17 and #45. Running so well made me do some mistakes and i swiftly lost a few buy-ins. Pretty decent day to sum it up though. 

My goal for today was to play 40 games. I did play 30 and took a break and went for a walk. The last 30 I played during 2 sessions. I'm pleases with the volume and don't feel any exhaustion in any way, yet. 

Met some really bad players today and could probably have won a few more buy-ins. But I don't want to be greedy. 

 

Tomorrow will be the same goal as for today. 40 games at least. I think I will play 20 before exercise and 20 after.

Day 3

Today was a struggle and the start was pretty rough. I ran rally bad the first 10 matches and could easily have won all of them. Instead I ran even worse and lost 6 straight matches versus a rally bad fish. I made somewhat of a comeback against a bad reg i played a few times before. 

It really was a mental battle whole day. Every time I got into green some kind of switch, just to keep doing comebacks. 

At the point of the highest mark today my internet connection for some reason shut down on me in the middle a match. It's usually very stable. I lost the 5 that followed. I don't think I tilted due to the lost connection, but I might have been a little. 

In the end I broke even at least. But this really felt like a day could have won 10 buy-in.

I broke my goal of playing 40 games as well, quite comfortable. 

I have plans reviewing games tomorrow. I'm kinda rusty doing this and have never done playing HU sng's. So I have no idea where to start looking. Any suggestions are welcome.

Day 4

Today I ended early. Tilting hard.

Partly because my internet connection struggling with something and I don't know why, partly because the game suffers from it. Since I got blinded out of 3 matches today and partly because I ran like shit in the rest of them. 

I don't really know what to do when this happens. It really hurts so damn much to lose these buy-ins because I know the effort I will need to win them back. 

Anyway, graph for today. Last 6 games are 3 blinded out because of internet shutting down. 

Not playing anymore until I know for sure it's stable. And definitely not playing more today.

You should put up roi

You should put up roi adjusted graph as it will give you a better idea of how you are playing. You could be playing ok and just running bad or vice versa.
