Background
I'm 20 years old and a final-year year student in the UK studying Maths and Economics. Since the age of 18, i've been playing a lot of online poker and have been dabbling in pretty much every format of the game, whether that be in Mtt's or HeadsUp PLO but never really found too much success in any of them. The main reason was that I had terrible bankroll management and was always too eager to move up stakes. This meant that half the time I was at university, I was rebuilding my bankroll rather than trying to actually get better at the game....which sucks! But the one positive I can take from this is that the last 2 rocky years has been a really steep learning curve for me, all those months spent rebuilding my bankroll definitely improved my skill level and also has a positive impact on my mental game. So Lets just hope this carries on throughout 2014!
So What's the Plan?
I've found it! That one format which brings huge action and huge swings (and im actually alright at it.....for once). Thats right, its 6-max Hyper Turbo Satellites! I've currently got a filter on which only lets me play games which are between $3 - $8 and thats what I'm going to stick to!. Over a 10k sample size I'm beating the $3.75's for about 3% ROI which is kinda cool. While the higher buyins around $8 I'm slightly above breakeven on a <1k sample...so I cant really gage much from that.
