I got into DON sng's for a change recently.

I used to grind SNG's on a second rate site without knowing much but still owned because the players were horrible, that and some small MTT's.

My 'downswings' have been not only a product of 'variance', but mostly poor play. I take full repsonsibility for it as well. I had alot of shit going on in April IRL and as a result I played shit ass poor poker and make like $11. Probably should have cut the volume but I decided otherwise. The 'true variance' probably only lasted for 5k hands or something really.

This month my volume has increased, despite taking a week vacation. I've played about 2500 hands a day for the past 3 days. About half of those hands were DON's though, the rest cash. I'm going to be grinding cash more this week though. I'm aiming for GoldStar this month so I need to get my ass in gear. I also have to move this week so that will cut into the grind time.

So other than cash I've been playing some 2.20 turbo's here and there, and a few low buy-in ($2) MTT's. ROI isn't spectacular or anything, but on OPR it fails to take into account an FTR tourney I placed 2nd in for a nice prize.

Speaking of MTT's I'll be playing some of those this week as well.

Graph will be posted when I hit $1k and I'll explain how I got there/what held me back etc. I'm running hot this month so I'm going to ride the momentum and make some dolla's.

As for progress on GoldStar I have 2,765 VPP's to go. Looks like quite a few at this point but I expect the growth to take off as I'm now rolled (again) for 25nl.

Oh and I still try and learn stuff while I'm away from the table, despite the fact that it looks like I've turned into a grindbot. Thanks for stopping by
