A Game of Two Halves?
I'm hoping so as the first half of my project For February has gone badly.
Only racked up 450 fpps so I need 1050 in less than 14 days to get to keep my star status and at one point in the month I was down $600 playing mostly $35 and $16 PLO8 SNG turbos.
Hit a bit of a rough spot with many 9ths and 8ths and I knew I was playing badly when I was 3rd with 4 left the C/L goes allin 2nd C/L calls and I call with 24xx on a A39 flop...this is a dumb move in late stage and of course I missed and other guys had 24AA and 2456 anyway so I was never going to make much if i "hit"..
This run means my Sharkscope rating is very much a "fish" with a ROI of -23% last I looked.
Last two days I've cashed in 7/10 and started to pull back the losses but I guess unless I run hot in the next 12 days its another loss. I have not been tempted into cash games though.
With SNGs it really is a matter of grinding them out and I have got into an evening regime of playing a set of games and evaluating after each session.

Game Selection rethink
January was a good month for SNGs but the continual drip drip of cash games led to a -$188 figure.
I managed to sneak silver star on Pokerstars and I am going to try another experiment.
February is SNG and MTT only month and I'm going to try to retain silverstar just through non cash play.
Still waiting for my operation. Provisionally told 5th March. Hopefully it will be successful then I can plan a jaunt to Vegas..
