Day 3- 16turbo sng challenge

Didn't play much again today cause of work, will be putting a full day in tomorrow and friday as well. PLayed 36 16.00$ turbos (which is all i play):
15/38ITM
7-1
6-2
2-3

profit of $155.00.

Played two sessions of 12 and one session of 14. Obviously it is good that I am getting more 1sts and 2nds than 3rds. I am basically killing it 3 handed which is good, still making the odd dumb push or gamble play I need to avoid. Overall playing very good and staying very discisiplined, but i can always improve. And its not like i've gotten great luck either, always the odd suckout here and there, but there are so many bad players its just very lucrative even if i run bad.


Day 3:
36sng: +155.00

Overall:
172 sng: +574.00

day 2 1000sng challenge

Only played 24 sng's today as I had to work :(. Two sets of 12 tables.
5 1sts
1 2nd
3 3rds

9/24 ITM

Played well, but will likely work again tomorrow as well so wont have another high volume day til thursday and friday (will play 200 sng betwen thurs and friday).

Anyways, just keep plugging away as best I can, really shooting for above 15 % roi for the 1st 1000sng's (above 2500.00$ profit).

day2: 24 sngs: +$87.00

overall: 134sngs: +$419.00

First 110 sng's played (16 turbos stars)

Over the first 110 I played so far today and last night here are my stats:

45/110 In the money (ITM)

18-1sts
12-2nds
15-3rds

profit of $332.00 (approx 18% ROI).

Obviously I am happy with how things are going, although its kind of expected. I want to keep up this kind of ROI though, and think its definitely possible at this level. I think I can play 100 of these a day and average over 200 dollars profit daily. For the most part I 12 tabled, and did one set of 14 tables. I will likely keep 12 tabling, with the odd 14 or 16 table set thrown in when I'm feeling frisky and ready for the extra pressure. I am going to be taking some money out now and then, but will keep track of the profit I make through this ordeal in the blog, so anyways.

110sngs/$332.00 profit

1st day

Ok, so it took a while to get going but the challenge will be in full effect this week. I will likley be playing about 100 of these a day for the two weeks, or at least till i get to one thousand. I will post my results for each one hundred that I play. I am thinking that if I can handle playing this many 16's, that I may stretch the challenge out to 5000, or even 10, 000. I am going on vacation in april, so I would like to play as many of these as possible until that time. I will also likley be playing in a few wsop satts, and will be skipping any cash games for the moment.

1st blog post

This blog will be tracing my steps as I attempt to build my bankroll and make money playing online poker. I have had quite a bit of success playing sng's and likely that is where I will be playing most of my poker over the next couple of months at least.

My first challenge will be playing 1000 sng at the 16 level turbo on stars. I did this last year and was pretty successful. So I figured it would be a good challenge to begin this blog with. I will likely be posting updates and such daily. My goal will be a 15% ROI, although I would be happy with anything over 10%.

Things you can expect from this blog:
1. Talk about sng play and strategy
2. Me expressing my opinion about things I like and dislike
3. Crazy cash game tilt stories every once in a while
4. Me trying to qualify for the WSOP (longshot at best likely)
5. Watching me a build a bankroll through steady play in sng's
