Prior to last month, I only kept track of profits/losses and game type when playing. I was a winning 10-30$ SNG player, but it was hard to tell how much. I assumed around 15+% ROI over 300-500 tournaments. But I only really knew that I was winning.
So I had a few days off around the 4th of July due to surgery on my hand. I decided that it was a good time to set up a rake back and grind some 20$ SNGs. I had been playing strictly MTTs, unless I was bonus whoring 25-50$max NL.
400$ on Eurobet, no problem. No way I hit a 18 buy in down swing at the 20$s. From what I remember they were pretty much like an ATM (MY last week of them was a ridiculous heater where I made 700$ before I left for Vegas).
1st day -100$
Hmmm...was my Laggish game was carrying over too much into the SNGs, was I running bad, were the games tougher?
2nd day +20$
Must have been running bad, Im fine now
3rd day -170$
WTF, I HAVE to be running bad...right?
4th day -150$ aka BUST!!!
I couldnt believe it. I honestly didnt think it was possible.
I was willing to accept that it was more than variance. I finally purchased SNG PTs, started going through more hand histories, etc. I did run very bad. But I also was making a ton of mistakes. I wasnt nearly as good at party SNGs as my earlier results suggested.
Anyhow, I have kept at it, and FINALLY saw my ROI pop back into positive territory for th 20$s. Only 220 SNGs to do it.
Thank God for rakeback!! making my ROI a brilliant 2% for the past month!
