I cashed out my poker roll so i could focus on law school finals and then decided "F it" and paid off all my credit cards, paid off my car, and student loans.

I now want to rebuild my roll at........SNGs.

I never took SNGs seriously until the past couple months. Before then I used HU SNGs as tilt sessions of pushing first hand (as you can see in beginning of sharkscope graph below). Then I tried them and realized they were easy and free money. As you can see, I had success in March and April before I decided to pull out for finals. I am confident that I can beat them, but I don't have funds to get a proper roll started right now. I'd like to start at the $13 6-max SNGs and work up to the $39 and upper ones.






In addition I get good cards:







This summer I plan on putting in tons of hands and trying to move up the SNG ranks, mainly at the 6-max and 6-max turbo SNGs.

I can provide more information or PT stats if you want..

Stake me for WSOP events, seriously. I'm on my laptop so I only have a few graphs/pt shots on my photobucket.

while i'm invading your thread, i just want you all to know i got staked once

i made 60k in like a month

shipped him 25% of it

i certainly don't need to be staked anymore, and i'm trying to figure out if i can get bankwires from stars becuase 5k checks once a week just isn't fast enough

sigh

Alright, I'm actually going to take this seriously.

I have been playing poker for about 2 years now, but I have only really been playing seriously for the last three months or so. I have two samples. The first is from Full Tilt playing last summer until about January of this year. I went on a downswing and I played bad at the end (as the graph will show you), so I took a break and then opened an account on UltimateBet.

I have been able to improve my game, but for some reason can't take it to the next level. I had a rough couple of sessions at NL $50 at UB, so I cashed out (didn't like the site anyway) and now I'm presently starting again at PokerStars NL $25, though I'm in kind of a rut on that site too. I had been trying some different things, like playing a few sessions of limit and a few donkaments just to change things up, but to no avail. Anyway, here's my graphs:









One strength in my game is that I know how to use position really well. Take a look at my stats based on position. The button has been my most profitable position, but right after that are the cutoff and two off the button. I use the button to try and steal the blinds, call and play for implied odds, try to win big pots, and pick up pots where nobody seems to have much.

Another strength is that I can read hands pretty well. Here's a post on my blog where I make a good read from the beginning of the hand which allowed me to play it well all the way to the river. I post a lot of hands on there and go through my thinking throughout the hand, so feel free to take a look at my other posts also.

I also contribute to the uNL forum. Here is an example of a reply I made where I believed hero should fold on the end and provided my reasoning for doing so. Here's another example of where I advocate folding at the end. Wish I could find some solid ones where I advocated calling or raising, but try not to confuse me for a nitbag.

So I'm looking to play NL $50 on Stars. I will probably only play two tables to start out. When I was on Full Tilt I played just one, and on UB I played two successfully. The reason I do this is because I'll have some time to see hands play out that I'm not involved in and try to analyze it in my head and see if I can put my opponents on hands. With that said, I still do use a HUD but I also like to take notes since the HUD does not always tell the whole story. I will state things such as "Will check behind on flop sometimes with TPTK", "Willing to bluff at the end on busted draws" and "Capable of slowplaying a set until the river". Things like that help me make better reads on specific players.

Once I get a hang of it, I'm willing to move up to 4-tabling. I have tried it before and the action is a little too fast for me, but I'm willing to give it a shot again once I'm comfortable. Logging in hours won't be a problem. I know I don't have a ton of hands in the books, but my job is on hiatus at the moment, and I'll probably be out of work for a couple of months so I can concentrate on playing poker. I'd be fine with having to log a certain # of hands per week if that's the route you want to go, and update my blog regularly so you can track my progress (and discuss it with you personally if you want to do that).
