Update

Its been a while since I last posted and even though I have no followers I should have kept this up as it could've helped me save some vital monies.

As I said in the last post, I was grinding mainly $2 6 max sngs. I've become proficient enough at them to multitable 2-3 at a time however I do notice a dip in cash rate. I make the money about 70% of the time if I play a single table at a time. However to put out a huge volumn single tabling would be too difficult.

I managed to multitable up to 4 at one stage but I have no doubt that my ROI did drop a little. I managed to grind the bankroll all the way up to $380 dollars at one stage by including a few $5 and $10 games. I played 273 $2 games and made $180 profit from that. I cashed in 7 out of 9 of my $10 games and i'm down 2-3 buy ins at $5 level.

This was all well and good until I watched the pr1nnyraiding series by Krantz from deuces cracked. I decided to give heads up nl cash a try and I wasn't playing too badly but with only 7 buy ins in what is possibly the highest variation game I ended up losing 2 buy ins to one guy after I lost AQs to 55. I had whittled down his stack to $17 then he re-raised me and i shoved with that. It was a race but heads up a pair is always ahead initially but in this case not a huge amount. After that I lost top pair to his pocket queens and that was that.

I tried to rebuild my bankroll faster but that just ended up in more tears as I went all the way down to 180. I really should have stuck with grinding but it gets incredibly repetitive after a while and games take on average 40 minutes. After a few hours you could be up by about $10 if you did well and that just wasn't enough for me. I managed to play HU cash again at 50nl level with 180 and worked it up to 290. Then another bad session saw another 2 buy in downswing. This is horrible bankroll management I know but with the time I have left to play before I may have to stop I decided I might as well try higher limits.

After that I started grinding 10NL and I've been doing pretty well at that. I've built my bankroll back to $245 at this stage. My biggest leak has been cash games. particularly HU. I've lost $500 in cash games but I'm still positive due to my sng play and also now starting to get the hang of cash games. You don't realise how big a difference the game types are until you change. I am tempted to grind again at 6 max and work on multitabling but for the moment I have a huge amount of assignments due. Thats all for now.
