Request - Weekend Schedule [M Porter]
mporter123:
$674.
Dismal session.
Just busted the main event, AJ
mporter123:
I am going to take out the $13.50"s, $15.50"s and $16 games so max buy in will be $11 for a while.
I don"t like doing this but I think its sensible. I knew there was a danger that reloading was going to be needed and I am fine with that. I just don"t want to have to do that after a month! The one thing I am not going to do is to play less, I am really focussed and feel like I am playing well. I will treat the bankroll sensibly and keep grinding through. I am off work for 4 of the next 6 weeks so still hopeful off finishing the year well and getting some back.
I did get frustrated yesterday which, on reflection, I am annoyed about. I am sure that it didn"t affect my game at all, I wouldn"t let that happen. I do think its really important to remain fairly emotionally level in poker, i.e. the highs aren"t too high and the lows aren"t too low. I really want this to go well so its hard sometimes when it feels like your getting crushed everywhere.
Morale is still high though. Back up on the horse.

I still feel that u should be putting in a mix of sng"s mate to iron out some of the variance which was the whole point of including them in the first place!!
As we have seen the 180"s are prone to massive downswings(100+) in some cases and can be so demoralising and confidence crushing when u are playing well and just getting punished in them.
Throwing in some 18/27/45/90"s(non-turbo imo) builds back up the confidence when u get a cash, which is more often than when solely playing in the 180"s, and would help build the roll back up and hopefully sustain it at a decent lvl until the big mtt score comes along.
Not saying u should not be playing the 180"s but from the original post it seemed like u would be mixing it up rather than just solely playing these.
Just my opinion and hopefully bit of advice as I used to grind these on regular basis so know that a decent ROI is possible but as per usual will probably get slated and be in the minority!!

I agree with this in principal.
A big part of how I schedule my sessions is how I time it around my personal life. The 180"s are good for that as they will last a maximum of two hours. So I can come home at 6pm, reg until half 7 and be done by half 9 when my girlfriend gets in from work. I can do this two or three times a week and increase my volume quite nicely compared to just the odd weekend session.
I believe that the majority of the non turbo sit n go"s will last a minumum of 3 hours, it doesn"t really fit. I will either have the time to grind 12 hour sessions or the time to play short 2-3 hour bursts, not much inbetween hence playing 180"s.
Also the general concensus has been that the 18man,45man, 90man are more reg filled so don"t immediately seem more appealing.
Erimus:
Keep calm, keep playing well and it will come, I lost a third of my roll in the first month last year but it"s just one very long game broken up into tiny segments.
There is a tiny bit of pressure because you want to do well for the people who have invested in you but they all understand poker and how hard it can be, good luck for the rest of the year.
