After taking up MTT and SnG Poker again a good couple of months ago, I can start with writing monthly reports about my progress in the “From 100 to 10000$” challenge that I had started a while ago. April has been a pretty rough month for me with a lot of testing. The good thing is that I overcame a brutal downswing and ended April with another win that secured a slight positive outcome.
I had started to play on ACR Poker with 725$ winnings and ended the month with 741$. It could have been much more but I don´t want to complain, since most players are actually losing money. Given the fact that I also got the 50$ bonus each week, I am looking at about 215$ winnings, and since there was a free 95$ buy-in that I had won and lost (but counted on Sharkscope as a loss), I am looking at 315$ winnings roundabout.
But looking at a peak of 1109$ and a low of 230$ with a delta of 879$ (!), the month of April could have been much better – but also a lot worse! In March, I started with -16 and ended with positive 725$. So, my monthly winnings currently range anywhere from 315 to 725$ – let´s calculate with an average of about 500$.
This means that in the month of May, my estimated total winnings on ACR Poker should be reaching a new high with about 1250$ while I am planning to play about 250 events at a minimum of 8-10 ABI which secures the weekly 50$ bonus. I know that those are just “numbers on paper” but I think they are more than possible.
I am also going to give it a go and do one or two shots at 55$ or even 109$ which means that there might be a much bigger jump but I don´t want and cannot plan with this. Of course, I secretely hope to finally break the 1000$ barrier but I know that there is a lot of luck involved, winning one of those bigger tournaments.
The focus will be playing 6.60, 11, and 16.5 $ “On Demand” MTT poker tournaments where I have a positive ROI:
Funny enough, on 3.30 and 22$, I have lost money but on 33$ I seem to be winning again. Of course, these sample sizes are still very low, and I will try to through in some 3.30 and 22$ in between to “correct” those numbers.
But my sweet spot seems to be 6.60 – 16.50 for now – so let´s see what the month of May will bring by playing those levels and hopefully emerging victorious often enough!
