After spending the end of last year playing in different online mtt's varying in buy in from $2 - $30+ I have met someone from another forum who has been giving me some coaching on playing stt and basic stt strategy.

This year I intend to only play 9, 18 and 45max games on stars along with the occasional large comp but very few. I am going to start with playing 6 tables but hopefully with the help of TN I will be up to 10 or 12 in no time.

This could fall on its arse at the first hurdle but I thought I would give it a go and where better to post it than here.

I have been reading the diarys on here and the majority are excellent reads, its not my intention to turn this into a diary but more of somewhere public that I can post my days/weeks results and take all the advice positive or negative from the experienced guys on here.

I will initially be playing at the $3.50 level, this will all be staked at a 50/50 split with the same guy who has been giving me the coaching.

The volume I play will depend on work schedule but I aim to play a minimum of 150 games a week, I am aware that this isnt huge volume but I still feel that its enough to combat the variance.

My goals for 2013 are:

To play: 8000 games minimum

Hopefully reach the 7$ level by the end of the year.

Build a big enough personal roll where I can take next year on myself

Play a handful of live events and take a few shots at bigger comps.

Wish me Luck Smiley

Good luck!

Just a starting point 8000/150  = 53.?! so this year would need to be extra long for you to meet your goal on your weekly target Smiley just a thought!

Yeah the 150 is a minimum target a week 600 per month, but I will more than likely have some months where I play far more and others where I am just short, its all work dependant and how much free time I can free up to stick into poker.

Bubble this is a very valid point, I have allowed for summer holiday etc. I will need to review the plan but I think that I will stick to the 150 and see how I go.

Thanks for pointing it out!

A rarity to see some tangible, modest, realistic, specific goals in one of these threads. Good luck sir, I bet you cruise past the $7 buy-in level before the summer.

good luck! however you should definitely be 12 tabling at the min with TN, won't make much $$ playing 6-8 tables. i guess your coach will help you with that!

is this on stars? there are the weekly BOP which are pretty decent for SNG's up to 27 players.

Not the best of starts ran pretty bad today but with such a small sample its to be expected. Nothing to worry about yet, aslong as the upswings out weigh the down we should be fine.

Games Played 32

Profit: -$56.99
