Hello people! I just finished my last session for January and it was a good one! I managed to win the Storm2€+R on Stars.FR besting a field of 503 runners. This one allowed me to turn a 4€ investment into a 547,15€ winning. It's R.O.I. party today !! In my last post, I was complaining a little bit about how difficult my start in MTTs was. I think I will complain more often during the challenge if this is the consequence. This important victory obviously gives January a totally new face: SNGs played: 201 (mainly 6-max hyper) SNG invest: 615€ SNG winnings: 668,63 SNG R.O.I.: +8,72% EXPRESSO SNGs played: 14 EXPRESSO invest: 28€ EXPRESSO winnings: 44€ EXPRESSO R.O.I.: +57,14% MTT played: 47 MTT invest: 182,50€ MTT winnings: 615,09€ MTT R.O.I.: +237,04% I am still down almost 10 .02/.05-buy-ins in PLO cash games for almost 1300 hands. This brings my bankroll to a very satisfying 1002,64€ after one month of play and starting from 500€. This is the level I had set myself for late April / early May 2014. Despite this big hit, I am planing to continue to play 3€ SNGs for a while and I will certainly take shots at the 5€ level. I will also continue to play 1€R-5€ tourneys for now with shots at 10€ games and I will avoid to get to carried away in PLO cash game sessions :p I want to get really comfortable with the tracker and put in more volume rather than playing too expensive games too quickly. Thanks for reading me! Have a good weekend and don't forget to visit the real heros from Wheels&Arms and show your support HERE. Take care, Damian

Hello dear every one! I don't really know how often I should post updates on the evolution of this challenge. I don't want to post too much nore too little obviously. For the moment, I will post news whenever I have time and I feel like writing a bit. Maybe I will stick to more scheduled updates later. Since the last update, I have tried to put in more volume in Hyper SNGs during short sessions. I tried to multitable up to 4 games and more but I am not able t play my best Poker at this pace yet. My multitable comfort zone lies around 2-3 tables at the moment. Anything higher than 3 gets me stressed. From 6 on, I panic. At 8 tables, I fall off my chair. Still not a Nanonoko I guess... I have played 178 Hyper SNGs so far. I want to play 300 in February. I have invested 534€ in them. My R.O.I. is 5,13%. It is not huge but it's a decent start. The tracker is helping me a lot to take notes on players. This is especially usefull as I play a lot against regs in the Hyper SNGs. I am running kinda bad in MTTs for the moment. Many coinflips flip the wrong way around. Many setups, many weird situations. I have had a 10-buy-in losing streak too. I have been gently hitting my mouse a couple of times when I built up a huge stack only to get incinerated in improbable circumstances - but the stakes are not high enough for me to be able to afford to brake a mouse yet :) Patience! To compensate with the high variance of the Hyper SNG, I try not to play regular tourneys besides the turbos but a regular cold deck does not seem to be better than a turbo cold deck.
So far I have invested 148,5€ in 36 MTT. My R.O.I. is -66,36% . I make it ITM only 16,66% of the time. It's time for a final table! :) I keep losing money in cash games (approx. 10 buy-ins at .02/.05 PLO games) and I won money at a crazy R.O.I. rate in 2€ Expresso SNGs which almost compensates. Not really glorious results but I am happy with the fact that I will be able to put in more volume soon given the fact that I am getting used to my HUD. Additionally, I am satisfied with the fact that I am able to maintain a positive R.O.I. in Hyper SNGs which are the games I was planing to play the most anyway. Today, my bankroll is down to 420,27€ after 263 Poker games (SNGs, MTTs, cash games). Gotta get something going. Thanks for your attention! Keep following Wheels & Arms HERE. Damian Hello everybody! I have spent this month taking care of things at work, I have been reading Poker stuff, I have had little Poker coaching, I have done no excercise except walking around, I have spent 5 days in Spain enjoying the winter sun with my girlfriend... Not the ultimate grinder month but kinda pleasant :) As I want to donate a maximum/have the biggest bankroll possible at the end of the year, I figured I would play it safe in the beginning. I don't plan to be too nitty with the roll but I want to progress steadily. Hyper SNGs is a new format for me and what is also new is that I am using a tracking software that I have to get used to. I did not want to tilt away 30% of my roll in two weeks playing games I did not know too well, so I played not many games and took many notes. I started with 3€ Hyper SNGs and 3-5€ MTTs with occasional PLO .02/.05 sessions.
Today (January 20th), my bankroll is: 508,68€ I have mainly played 3€ Hyper SNGs (85 played) with a R.O.I. of 7,2%, I am losing a bit in MTTs (18 played) and I am up in plo cash games by 5,28bb/100 after a bit more than 500 hands. I am expecting to play more as I get comfortable with the format. The graph shows the progression of my roll (GREEN). My goal is to increase my roll by 20% every month (ORANGE). YELLOW is 30% (!!) and BLUE is 10%, which is still ok but... you know... Here are the the theoretical projection I have made to aim towards a possible goal. You will find a graph in the pictures below.
