Boring poker is good poker!

I created a "Global Alias" profile on sharkscope to track my 3 accounts in one
search which enables me to look at my SNG results for all 3 sites
I play on in on snapshot. Here are my results for Feb MTD for Global
Alias "Wingpin".

Wingpin 137 $1.52 $20 5% $209 N/A N/A Global Alias 2/1/2010 2/28/2010 SNG Only

I'm actually up $357 in total due to bonuses, rakeback credits, ring, 4 mans, etc.

I've been steady grinding the $22's on Stars and the $25's on Cake, 2 tabling most
of the time which is something I'm just now getting totally comfortable with. I'd say that as of today, I have zero hesitance at 2 tabling at the $22/$25 level. This
is the first time I've been able to say that, so that is pretty exciting. I feel there is a slight sacrifice in my play level 2 tabling...ie, I make an occasional
mistake that I wouldn't have made 1 tabling, but its a manageable amount and
definitely outweighed by the bennies of double the volume.

I've also made good progress on my stakes leak. So far, of the 137
games I've played, 108 or 79% have been at $20+. Not quite where I
want to be, but moving in that direction, and a vast improvement over
last month. I'm very confident that this problem will be 100% solved
this month...I dont even see why I was clinging to the $10's and $11's
now, since I'm steady owning the $20's and above. Problem Solved IMO!!

More on January

Wanted to post a follow up to the brief message I made earlier
and elaborate a little bit more on my month. I always like to
put a bit of time into reflection at the end of months and
see if there are ways I can tweek my approach to yield more
profit in terms of percentage (ROI) or more money per
unit of time invested.

In looking at my scope stats for SNG's one thing really jumped
out at me. I played a total of 626 games which is a good number,
but the breakdown is really surprising.

By buyin

$5 64 games
$10-$12 374 games
$20-$25 180 games
$30 and up 8 games


This is actually shocking to me. I was under the impression
that I was mostly playing $20-$25 games, but I have obviously
been deluding myself. 70% of the games I played were $12 and
under!!! WTF...I have a few semi-justifiable reasons for this
like: friends that wanna 4 man lower stakes, late nite hours
on Cake where the traffic is low, practicing multi-tabling,
desire to minimize stress and occasionally wanting to fire up
2 or 3 low stakes super turbos for the hell of it. But....bottom
line, I must keep the games below $20 to a minimum.

So...that's the takeaway from this exercise. No more
low stakes games!!! My ROI in $20-$30 has been in the
6%-12% range consistently for awhile now, so there is
no reason for me to be playing anything below this level.

So...here are my goals for February.

-90% of games at $20+

-$1500 total profit (including RB, bonus, ring, etc)

-Fully retire all remaining bonus money on Cake (now $160...they
gave me another $100...not sure if I should be happy or not)

-Go full time on Stars $33's by months end


I've gotta cure myself of this stakes leak if I wanna start
making the kind of money that I believe I'm capable of!

Cheers and GL ALL

Jan's done

Tired right now, but just wanted to put my final Jan
numbers on here. Made $1184...ended the month pretty
shitty with an extremely donkish last day. Played 3 $55's
and went 1-2 and played HU cash and ran real bad against
an awful player. Didnt play well in my regular $25's
either. Not sure why, but my focus was off I think.

Oh well....

Final Jan Profit $1184

Another Super solid month

Churning out the steady profits I need once again this month.
My "WingmanMtP" username on Cake is starting to put together
a decent little statsheet. I just noticed that my ss ability
rating is a "70" for the first time ever I think. Here are the #'s.


WingmanMtP 3,632 $0.51 $14 5% $1,860 WWWWWWWW 70 Cake SNG Only


I've been playing alot of $25 husngs the last few days
and my results have been very solid. The games are taking
forever to regenerate in Cake's lobby which sucks, but I'm
still working off a little bit of bonus cash and the $200 or
so I've gotten in rakeback this month definitely doesnt suck!
I've also played a fair number of DONs with really good results.
I finally figured out the proper approach to them and I've
been amazingly disciplined in them which I'm quite proud of.
Also, it occured to me today, that I really just dont tilt
anymore. I adopted a new approach which basically consists
of me laughing my ass off everytime a fish suckouts out on
me or if I get coolered. I basically dont give a fuck if I
get sucked out on. Really...I'm gonna play my 20-30 games...some
are gonna be suckouts...oh well. I'm used to it by now...and
sometimes I suck out. Its not worth worrying about.

Up about $1200 on the month so far...feeling sooo insanely good
and confident.

The plan is to get as much of this last $80 of bonus off of
Cake by the deadline of 2-5-10 and then its fulltime stars...$33's.

Got a star for being on the leaderboard of the $5-$15 hu total profit 2010. It wont last long, because I'm not gonna play these stakes going forward, but been grinding them with a friend for the past few days, and when I realized I was close to getting on there, just decided to grind hard and make it happpen. So..its kinda cool!
