    Road to my first $1000, hopefully!

    New here, won't bore you with too much, regular online player who has several times crushed the 2nl and 5nl limits only to move up and lose it all with bad BRM. So it's time to do it properly. Feel my strength lies in MTTs and 45/90/180 SNGs so I'm gonna start with them. Work a full time job with 12 hour shifts so I ament gonna put a timeline on this but a constant upwards climb to 1000 and I'll be happy. Started with a 40 dollar deposit.

    Sticking with the 50c and 1 dollar buy ins for now. Will move up when I have 50 buy ins for next level down when I hit 40.

    After last nights night shift I played 2 45s one 50c and 1 dollar SNG could only manage two as I was tired. Knocked out early I. The dollar and 1st place in the 50c so BR is currently about 45 dollars. Will be putting in nice volumes on days off.

    My poker elephant is expired so software suggestions welcome thanks!

      You need to get extremely competent at mass tabling these if you're to overcome the variance and make a decent return from them.

                          Well you missed value on the turn by not betting.
                          Betting the turn even small leaves you open to betting more on the river and getting called.
                          You have a big hand and need get as much chips in the middle betting the turn helps this
                          then you can value bet the river

                            Dont 3x pre. Start min raising pre when the stacks sizes are shallower.

                              Night of ups and downs, played several 45s with no cashes and then just to sweeten the night i picked up a second place in a 90 man to bring my BR to $62.

                              Still in the middle of a 45 man so gonna finish that and call it a night, work at 7 in the morning, tired at the thought of it!

                              My volume is pretty poor as you can see but I'm not worried about that I play when I can and steady progress is perfect for me. Few days off this week hope to have at least 100 games played by end of the week.
                              BR=$62
                              Profit=$22
                              ROI=50.1%

                                Outcome: Hero won t2340

                                Always struggle playing two pair so advice on that would be great.

                                  Fold pre. Raise more on turn so you can shove river.

                                        Work for the weekend so no play for a couple of days, between downswings and playing with a ridiculous hangover my BR sits at about $41. Off for a few days mid week so should be able to get some nice multitabling volume in and put up some cashes. In meantime i've been reading articles on 2+2 etc, if anyone has any links i can get reading while i'm at work that would be great, cheers!

                                              25 games since I've started logging properly with excel and I'm breaking even with my BR sitting at $39.90. Hopefully putting in more volume will start to see a nice consistent upward swing. Even though its early stages its looking like the variance is hard to beat but if I'm breaking even after roughly 80 games I'm hoping experience will see me starting to profit.

                                                  Shove or fold pre-flop in that last hand. Calling is really bad.

                                                    Looking at it I have to agree almost 20 percent of my stack flat calling with 2's was stupid got lucky! And yes darragh all advice is welcomed. So hard to get a food session going on this things keep coming up but no work till Friday so I think I should see 100+ games and get some graphs put up hopefully displaying profits thanks

                                                      Tough morning brought a nice downswing my way leaving my bankroll at $24.90.
                                                      Time for lunch then back to the grind, I've dropped to the 50c turbos to try and build back up, think i'll stick to them until I reach about $75 (hopefully) before moving to $1.50 turbos

                                                        regardless of what size stack you have this is a leak, you have to hit a monster flop for this to pay off, if you don't hit trips or two pair on the flop you are never happy going forward even if you do hit your ace you cannot commit a big amt of chips to the pot. long term this will cost you money especially at the lower levels.

                                                              Dont check the turn. bet. He will call with all two pairs and probably alot of his aces.

                                                              As played, bet more on the river.

                                                                                      flatting 44 in a raised pot at the 10/20 level is also -ev imo.

Blinds are small, a raise, a call and the big blind probably gonna come along too. It's easy to toss it if we miss, but can win big pots against over pairs and tptk hands.

                                                                                                  It's the first level...do we never setmine in sng's? I would have thought that was standard but I don't play them anymore.

                                                                                                    because you may not get payed off everytime, someone may jamb after you acted preflop forcing you to lay down your hand plus all the times you will get beaten in the hand. i think i read it on here or somewhere else, "you cannot win a mtsng in the early rounds but you can loose it". so what you want to do is minimize your chances of loosing it in the early rounds so basically for the early rounds we only play our premium hands. if we decided to call say 7 or 8 raised pots in position during the early rounds with small pp's, suited aces and suited connectors and missed the flop every time, then by the time the 50/100 level comes around we have less than 10bbs and our push/fold game is severly weakened and we are forced into pushing some mediocre hand in a bad spot cos the 75/150 level is just 6-7 hands away and if we wait for that we will have less than 5bbs.
                                                                                                    better to pass up these spots so that you have 12-13bbs when the 50/100 level comes around and your shoves have a better chance of getting through and stealing a worthwhile pot.

The only tricky situation is when someone reraises to like 100 and then you think I have 60 invested should i call 40 more of he had made it 200 easy dump but now with 100 I'm wasting chips if i call or fold possibly

                                                                                                                No point putting your whole stack at risk while the blinds are still at 10/20 and with flushdraws and straight draws out on the board I fold.

                                                                                                                The droolers in these games can have anything.

Was tempted to dump it on flop but I could see the average player on these games do the exact same with AA, KK AQ AJ AXc or any two clubs
