April Goals a Little Late

It's been a while since I've posted here. I didn't play as much as I wanted to in March. The Ireland trip and work stuff got in the way. Even so, I managed to double my bankroll only playing 60 or sit n gos and a few MTTs thrown in for fun. Without really realizing it, I won PokerXFactor's under $20 buy in sit n go league for March. I don't really get anything other than PXF points and a chance to be crowned SNG king of the month if I win a SNG with their other category winners and runners up, but it still feels good. That was a long sentence.

I've started off in April playing a lot higher volume already. I think I've played as many SNGs in the first 3 days than I did all of March. Also, to be fair, I was playing some WSOP steps in March that I didn't really count in my volume. I count them in my bankroll challenge obviously, but I'm not really tracking them in PokerTracker, and Sharkscope doesn't seem to track them either. I made it to Step 4 once, and since I'm a fool, I didn't realize it was a normal SNG and not a turbo. I played AK a little too fast early and got short stacked. Then I proceeded to bust in 7th with AK when it was necessary to play it fast. Good for me. All I need to do is get 6th to at least get a Step 2 ticket, and I can't even do that because I'm an idiot and can't read. The funny thing was that I didn't figure out it wasn't a turbo until the end of the 2nd level. It was the only window I had open, and I kept saying that 5 minutes seems to take a long time when you only have one window open. Oh well.

Goals for April:

• Play over 200 SNGs at the $6.50 level
• Show a >15% ROI
• Move up to the $16 turbos ($800 is my target bankroll for this level)
  

I've already played about 50 SNGs this month. I'm at work so I don't have the exact stats, but I am definitely well on my way to reaching my volume goal.

Bankroll: ~$570

Also, I've been playing Lost Odyssey for the XBOX 360. If you like Final Fantasy games, then you'll like this game a lot. It's a beautiful game and the story is quite good so far. That's a great review of the game, I know, but I've only played about 3 hours. Most reviews have been complaining that it doesn't break any new ground for an RPG and it's average at best for that reason. I don't really care; I like Final Fantasy type games, and this one appears to be an awesome next gen version of them.
