    My 180 man staked adventure (round 2)

    So here we are again,

    My last staked 100 games of 180 man $2.50 ended just over a month ago & had a busy month ahead of me so my Backer & Coach Laois Hammer thankfully gave me the time off I needed & well here I am a month later ready to start another set of 100 $2.50 turbo 180 man tournament om PokerStars

    For those who missed the first set of 100 tournaments thread was here http://www.irishpokerboards.com/foru...ead.php?t=9827

    I have to say that I was just amazed that it was possible to win so much @ the $2.50 level & I obviously ran like god
    It ended with a total cash of $945.57 (- the $250 stake from laois hammer) = $695.57 profit or ROI of 274% for you geeks out there

    While I know a 274 ROI is seriously unsustainable I really hope to get close to it again so here is my ending graff of the last 100 staked set for motivation

          Cheers, no I'm actually more comfortable repeating this level for the next 2-5 sets of 100 & only move up if I can consistantly turn a profit
          I'm no fool & I just feel I very well could have just fluked the first set of 100 games & ran so well so we'll see after 500 games how I fair out over all & see how things go

          I'm feeling much better now its come out a few times but have only played 6 games so far today so I'm just going to review some more of Laois Hammers coaching emails as I'm feeling rusty

            If you get a chance it'd be great to hear some of the things you were doing wrong at the start and the changes to your game that you and Dave worked on the first time around...

              I tapped onto this with the last thread
              I just wouldn't feel right stealing Laois Hammers thunder by just relaying his coaching his taken his time & much appreciated effort his given me

              dont know if dave is offering comercial coaching yet but I would definitly recomend him as his directions were very simple & easy to understand the thinking behind it

                  Playing like shit & feeling like shit, taking a day or two off as cant get in the rite frame of mind at all

                  1x 3rd
                  1x 6th
                  1x 8th
                  1x Min cash
                  1x bubble

                  My game has definitly taken a few steps back as to where it left off with the last stake & doing more reviewing of the coaching I got to get me going in the first place & hopefully can turn it around to at least break even

                    Perfectionist take bad swings personally. Dont its just 5/6 games. get back in the game and turn it around. Many a player being knocked. Good 1s and ur graph seems to suggest you are get back up and fight on.

                    Try and not take it so personally, end of the day its just cards and a lot of people at that level have no idea as to what they are doing and it can be so frustrating to play.

                      Yeah but I feel myself getting to frustrated with the way I'm playing & I'm just not playing my best, a rest to recharge will do me good

                      I think I'm playing to long a sessions like last time I did that I was tilting & playing like a tit but by playing small micro sessions I was able to concentrate more on what I was doing & not playing to loose etc

                      Anyway going to go play live somewhere tonight, probably bray for lol's

                        Great thing about sngs the better you get at then the more tables you can run at once and you are nearly untiltable cause your mind is elsewhere. Best of luck with this you have me seriously tempted to get back into them

                          don't worry about it. keep focused and eventually it will come together.

                                  Forgot to keep posting graff's here so here is my current one (I'm still in two of those games so if I cash I'll update graff)

                                  The first 50 games I got seriously pissed off I couldnt string anything together really & it effected my game badly,

                                  After the few days off from the grind I cashed in 5 games in 30 which while an improvement the win is still alluding me
