Wow. My good luck from yesterday has come back and bit me in the ass in the form of cruel, cruel variance. I put in a HUGE session tonight, playing 59 SNGs, and i ended up down a bit. The start was just terrible and i now understand why you need a lot of buyins for each level, i lost TWELVE consecutive SNGs (out of the money) at one stage during my play tonight.. hurt like a biatch too. I came back a bit at the end, winning at a fairly good rate again and almost got back to even for the night. I think if i put in another session i'd get there but i'm just not up to it, 8 tabling really takes a lot out of me and i can normally only play 2 or 3 sessions a day MAX.. anyway.. results

Hourly rate: $68.27/hr.. i'm still very pleased with that and would be happy to be able to sustain it at this level.

I made about 200 euros playing at Martin's poker and cleared about 100 VIP points there too, I think i'm about halfway to clearing the 200 euro bonus and hope to complete it before i leave for schoolies in a few days time. I withdrew $1,000 from my roll tonight as well as i need cash for various things. That is all.

How long did it take you to play 59? And how many did you play at a time?

It took me about 5 hours. I play 8 at a time and finish about 12 an hour.

Had another huge day of SNG playing and managed to fit 71 in today. I started off a bit slow again and hit a bad patch during tonights session - 8 consecutive OOTMs - but that is becoming a common thing and it doesn't worry me too much anymore. I'm thinking of when I should move up to the $33 level, i've got about 40 buyins but i want to have at least 60, just in case. I also know that the players are a lot better, and the increase in prizemoney vs drop in ROI may not be worth it. Has anyone else had experience with this? I'm multi-tabling too, so that will affect my ability to get reads and play well against skilled opponents. I also want to record 500 SNGs at each level before moving up.

On another note i've got my last exam for high school ever tomorrow. it's on Information Processing Technologies and we're studying artificial intelligence and the like. I have a vague idea of what's going to be on the exam and plan to study for the next 3-4 hours then sit the exam, come home, and sleep all day. Wish me luck.
