1st MTT win in months - but im unhappy!!

[Wardonkey]

yes but to play STT's it means you have to win 1 in 4 just to break even, 1 in 3 to turn a profit, and for the past year imve not been able too.

I think you need to start off by playing winning poker before worrying about bankroll management.

If your going to spend so much time playing then it makes sense to keep records. This may not seem like fun to you, and it can be hard after a losing session but it will help you to learn which games get you the best results.

Also, if you find that you are losing when playing 3 or 4, cut back to 2 games at once.  I have poor results when I bash 4 out in one go, cut back to 2 and it's much better.

Also, not sure if you have a Stars account or not, but the 18/45 man sng's are just as weak as the once table games - nicer payout - same old game.

only problem with this is, what if i discover playing MTT's doesnt win me anything? im as well chucking it, cos they are the only tourney i really enjoy playing

If it's the multis you enjoy then play the multis, your more likely to be successful at something you enjoy.

Look at your game, there is always room for improvement. Do some reading and try to study your game objectively. Being honest with yourself is the biggest favour you can do yourself as a poker player.

Use the stt's to pay for the mtt's.

I love the mtt's but I don't often finish high enough in the money to justify spending hours playing them exclusively so I use the stt's to build the bankroll on a small ongoing basis, then use this to fund my mtt habit hoping for the big win one day.

logical...good post

but its not profitable, look at above post - £1 profit - not good enough

I think he meant the £2 games - £94 profit much better!

oh right lol sorry, misread it.

i couldnt do that tho, i mean playing £2 games does not appeal to me, id rather not play at all. most of the time when i play the £2 games i just mess around for a laugh. I usually just wait till i get delt 2 3 off or 5 3 off and push all in, hoping to get called and suck out on some one just so i can laugh, i couldnt never take these games seriously

I mean playing seriously for 3 hours just to make a final table to win between £10-£20 is not my idea of having fun! The only way you can turn a profit in these is to come in top 3 places.

i couldnt handle playing these boring levels all the time

Yep meant the #2 level.

Just read through all the posts again and it seems (and I apologise if this is way off the mark) that you only find enjoyment going for that 'big win'. Your post describes how pissed off you are at getting outdraws and doing your bankroll every week. Maybe winning money, rather than losing it is the root cause of your discontent.
If this is the case than it much better to 'only' win 10-20 pound in a small buyin MTT then lose 10-25 pound in a bigger buyin.

As others have already repeated here, your buyin in relation to your bankroll is causing the problem. I can only guess that you will either stay unhappy losing money, or be bored winning money in the small buy ins.

As also previously stated, you need to keep records. Even if you do have a big win you will prob still be behind due to reloading your account every week.

Sorry this all sounds so negative, just trying to pick out points from the situation as i see it.

you are very true, poker is all about the big win that i want to hit one day and not about the slow grinding out of £5 or £10 here and there.

I dont really play that many freezeouts, they are pretty poor value on the whole, the blue sq 100 and the tribecca $200 $8k are the only ones i like on there.

And yeah is ee the mug got lucky
