Alright, I've been meaning to start my first blog for a while. I've also been meaning to start a new challenge for myself for a while. About 3 weeks ago my laptop died and along with it my PT3 info. So this presents a perfect time for me to start over with a clean slate so to speak and embark on a challenge.
I've been a SNGer since the beginning. I mainly stuck to 9 player tables, working my way from $0 up to playing $11 with a roll of ~$250. I've tried the switch to cash and it's just not for me. I tried several times, several different methods. In the end I was profitable at the 25NL tables, but grinding was just no FUN!
So I've been goofing around playing SNGs, kinda going nowhere, just trying to challenge myself to improve my game.
Recently my work situation has changed as well, which opens up the possibility for me to play larger fields. I used to only have 1-2 hrs a night to play consistently, which really limited me to playing single table or maybe 18 player turbos. Now I have a few nights like that, but sometimes as much as 4 hrs.
So I withdrew my bankroll down to $60.
My main goal is to develop into a better large field player. Whenever I have the time, I'm going to be playing 90 player and 45 player turbos. At the $1 level. When I'm short on time, I'll play 9 player tables.
My bankroll strategy to begin is to play only $1 games of each of these field sizes. If my roll is over 20 buy-ins for the next 9 player level, I will move up with those. If my roll is over 50 buy-ins for the next 45T and 90T levels, I'll move up with those as well as long as I'm having decent results. (For example if I'm making all my $ at single tables and running a horrible ROI on the larger fields, I'll need to improve, that's the whole point of this challenge!)
So for example, starting at $60 I'll play anything that's $1. After $68 or more, I will feel free to switch to $3.40 single table games, but stick to the $1.10 45T's and 90T's until hitting $110, when I could attempt the $2.20 180T's.
