I was actually able to sit and focus on poker, didnt play and SIM baseball Live, didnt spend time building a team, just played. My reads and game theory have been getting a lot better. I feel like I am back in college again when I used to play a ton.

I'm a retard. I just have a giant word document that I keep track of all the different stt's and fixed field mtts. I generally just list place finished and keep a running profit/loss total for each individual type of tourney, but got going so good on those 90 man ko's that calculating roi became of interest.

I have tried tracking it before and then all hell breaks loose and Im much closer too throwing my computer then booking the loss.

Im going to start today though. That has to be another step in correct BR management. I actually get a handle on that then maybe I can work on actually being good at poker.

Played 5 6.50 9 person SnGs last night. Played about as well as I could and ran very good (not many coolers and my hands held up never really remember a bad play I made).

3 first, 1 third and 1 no-cash. The no cash was my JJ lost to QQ

I had a period about a year and a half ago where my primary game was the 6.50 stt sng's. The swings can be a bit much, but that's a good level for me skill-wise.

I will probably play a lot of cheap mtts on ftp that start in the 7 to 9:30 range tonight. There's a $2.25 6-handed that starts somewhere in there that I tend to run well in. Will probably play the $3.30 ko that's in there, and the $1 token frenzy, because that's fun (playing with wildmen and fish is ok when you know that's the idea going in) and I tend to get the $26 token at a much higher rate than 1 in 26. I will probably play the 6.50 superturbo ko at 9:15, which is stupid, but I have trouble resisting it.

Depending how things go when I get home Ill try to play in those with you at least the earlier ones. Try to motivate myself in the bigger tournies again.

Kind of like getting refocused. I have high hopes.

Im playing an 10+1 KO which starts at 5:30. What are your screen names? I'll look you fellas up and say hello.

10+1 is going to be out of my confort zone for now.

I'll play anything. Its funny, I've played a ton of those 3.30 and 6.50 90 person knockouts Tyler has been talking to lately as I've been teaching one of my friends how to play. Was never really a big fan because I dont like turbo tournaments, but they arent bad because of the kos. Lets me know when you are online and I'll jump in whatever. I play under this name mmt0315.

Same name as here.

I have used https://www.checkyourbets.com/ for tracking performance in the past but I was never that diligent about it and so I stopped trying.

Sharkscope actually was doing a pretty good job of tracking last I checked.

Interesting site, I guess I am worse than I thought.

I don't like looking at sharkscope. Last I checked on FTP Im a winner but not on PS. I kind of wish I could start with a new screen name when I look at those sites.

At one point I had some software that did everything automatically including keeping my hand histories and which hands I made money with and what players I have played with won and loss. Not sure it wasn't outlawed but sure many still use it.

Gehrig5 is my name. I usually play ring games because I have had trouble getting the time to play in longer tournaments but after last night I am hoping I can find a way to play some more.

When I was in college the other pig tournament I played in was a $5 with just over 1000 people and I finished 7th I think. That was on party poker. I used that money to buy my wife her engament ring.
