Online Poker Tournament Rankings

Almost 1,5 months ago I started my challenge to turn 300$ to 10K

Im not happy how things have gone lately. I know that in MTTs even a good player (yes I think im good) can have long losing periods, but that's not my only problem. Im struggling with br management. I had no problem with it when I was running good and got my roll up to almost 4K, but now when Im losing it becomes a small problem. (Played a few 33$ F/O with 2K and other things I shouldn't be doing)

And again my biggest problem is, I'm not playing 180 mans. Lately, I would have like 9 MTTs playing at the same time and since i can only 9 table (barely 12, barely) i dont load up any 4.40 180 mans anymore. (I do play 22$ and 11$ but they dont run so often)

Currenly I'm looking at a 1800$ bankroll. And I think, I cant play my A-game because of the fact, that I had 4K a few weeks ago. To me losing 2,2K just sounds a lot of money (well it is).  I know that if I want to be a good/winning player, I must get over this. 

So what are my plans to change my course? I'm still going to play MTTs from 0$-11$. And I'm starting to play 4.40s again with some kind of volume. As a side goal, I really want to win one of two comps im in (why not both :p), but it looks unlikely since other players are putting in huge volume. 

Im pretty confident, that I can pull myself back to where I was a while ago. Its just going to take some time.  I think having 5k before Christmas is a completely realistic goal. Still I have no timeframe, and I know this challenge can take months more or be over the next time I enter 11$ 250k (Just saying).

WEEK 6

Last time I wrote my blog I was up to 3,7K after some great MTT results. After 
that, I got a little over self-confident. I was sure I would ship a Mid stakes MTT for +5k and end the challenge on week 6. (lol)

Well it didnt quite work out my way. During the weekend I played a lot of MTTs from 11$ to 33$. Didnt win anything. I did went deep in couple of micro MTTs, but it wasnt my time to win. On Sunday after id been eliminated from the last tourney I checked my BR balance. -700$ from the weekend.

The biggest misstake I did was that I didnt play my best game enough: 4.40
180 mans. But grinding them just doesnt feel like worth it anymore. So since i have almost 3K Im gonna try to start playing 12$ 180mans instead of 4.40s. Im not sure of this change, since they are turbos, but i gotta try something to keep the grinding intersting for me. 

Even though I've lost a lot of money this week, I've learned a lot of new things about myself as a poker player. I definately lack discipline. Its difficult for me to accept that many of my days playing MTTs will end negativly money wise. On losing days I find myself chasing my losings on higher buy-in tournies. So 1 thing to work on. 

I also think that my BR guidelines should be more strict. In the future Im going to play with a 150 Buy-in rule in MTTs

Im still happy about how I've done in this challenge. I pretty much crush micro stakes and I feel like im a decent player in Mid stake MTTs.

Current BR: 2700$

Week 3

There's nothing special to tell about this week. Rollercoaster that ends to 874$.

Week 4

Grinded my roll up to 1k in the beginning of the week. Then i entered 17.40 ET 4.40$ 2k GTD tourney on Wednsday. It had 2103 runners. And i won it for 1345$. Felt fkin great. My first real MTT win. WEEEEE.

WEEK 5
23.10  So yesterday I took 2nd place in 8.80$ 500 cap for 570$. Today I continued concentrating in MTTs. Played a dozen, and shipped the 3.30$ 6-max at 9.40 ET for 1090$ (2272 runners). I also FT bubbled 22$ 180 man and took 4th in 11$ 180 man.
