I'm back with an update

ok, so i haven't played that much of late mainly due to work, but i will be playing lots in the next three weeks for sure!!
the stats are as follows:

Through 700 sng's:
+1685.00$

So basically if i broke even from this point on i will still have a 10%roi over 100 sng's, the goal is still a 15% or higher roi which is attainable and sustainable for sure. I have stopped 16tabling and now only 12 or 14 table and this has really helped, 16 tables was ultimately just 2 tables two many and i find that even having 14 tables is much more controlable and gives me the extra second or two i need. still planning on playing lots of these into april and beyond. i need to play in some wsop satts this year and will be looking at the ones on full tilt and pokerstars.

monday, day 8??

Guess its not really important how many days it takes, although i am still trying to play 100 hundred a day. I played 92 sng's today so that is good, but i ran horribly for most of the day. It is actually remarkable how many coin flips i lost. If you play well then it is hard to have losing days, but you have to win at least half the coin flips and 60/40's (or Ax vs. KQ) to make money. I had one good session tonight that made today better than break even, so that was good. But very frustrating day, hopefully i get a good run of cards soon and build up some better profits. Hope to have 1000 sngs done by sunday:

36/92 ITM
12-1sts
9-2nds
15-3rds

weekend update

PLayed 80 sng's this weekend, which really isn't much but with the problems on stars and me using the weekends to get stuff done and hang out i actually play less than most on sat and sun. Anyways the goal was to play 100 over the two days but with the crash coming during my free time that was impossible. I played fairly well, however i am still not one hundred percent at 16 tabling yet and i have to make sure i don't let the high volume become an excuse for poor play.

80 sng's:

34/80ITM
11-1sts
7-2nds
16-3rds (mainly due to the crash, i ended up 3rd in about 9 out of 16 in one set alone)
+$169

Will be playing more this week hopefully, if not i will definietly be playing more in april, my goal is now to play 5000 before april 20th. This is a very reachable goal in my opinion and should net me a profit in 5 figures. We'll see what happens, i really want to take some shots at the wsop of poker this year too.

418 sngs played $954.00 profit

5th day- bounce back

I played 86 sng's today, which is good but i really want to be averaging a hundred a day, so I will see if can up the volume a bit next week. I have started 16 tabling all the time and it feels right. I was getting too loose in my play and decide to buckle down and start giving myself more opportunities for cashes. Playing too many hands is very easy to do in these tourneys, especially if you are running well. Playing so many tables makes you want to play less hands and makes me focus on being more anal about the hands i play. It worked well today and should help increase my volume. I ran poor this morning and i have seen some really beats, its amazing at the stupidity of plays you see in these things, this is what makes it so profitable, but you do have to put up with some ridiculous beats.

today:
37/86ITM
12-1sts
16-2nds
9-3rds

+311

Giving myself an opportunity to come top two lots which is good, ran poorly headsup for the most part today.

overall: 338sng's played, +$785.00

4th day=variance says hi

PLayed 81 sng's go, a couple sets of 16, and about four sets of 12. I finshed down for the day which isn't suprising considering the beats I took. What bothers me was the way I played and likely how I could have minimized this loss if I couldn't gotten lazy and made some bad pushes. Its hard after taking beats not to just want to shove on everyone, especially if your down to few tables, so I have to start remembering that everu table I have open counts. I ended with a good positive session so thats a good thing.
