Been busy with school last week, but when I've played I've been winning every day and pretty much every session. Some days ago I had an absolutely ridiculous run, and won 14 games in a row. My 110 turbo stats at full tilt is now +10/game and 9% roi in a 1000 games sample. I don't think anyone can score significantly better than that, because it's only 50bbs starting stack and a game will typically only last about 5 minutes in average.
It's not necessary to play skyhigh limits to make great money on poker. It's funny to think about that it's theoretically possible to make 200K/year by only playing 110s. To make that happen I would have to play 50 games a day in average with +10 dollar/game in average profit. 50*10*365 = 180K. Included rakeback that is pretty much 200K/year profit. It takes only about 7 hours to finish 50 games by 1-tabling turbos at full tilt, so I mean, this is actually possible. However, the problem is that I might get compleatly burned out and sick of it when playing that much.
Anyway I don't feel the need to move up as long as i making great money in the 110s. My goal now is to make 10K/month consistently in the 110s every single month. If I in the future want to make more money I would have to increase my volume in the 110s or try to move up in stakes. I'm sure I could beat the 230s at full tilt now, but probably not much more expected profit than +10/game anyway.
Here's a video of Livb112 (adonis112) that is making pretty much a million dollar/year by playing HU sngs.

Can't believe the video still only got 65 views. I guess online poker is not the way to go if your goal is to become famous.

Nice job....any luck getting rakeback at FTP yet?
Hey Thomas, what do you advise to a player (like myself) who is a newbiew microstakes SNG player, to become a HU SNG winning player?
I mean what books, methods do I have to do to crush the micro and low HU SNG games?
Thanks and good luck you are very skillfull player!

"It takes only about 7 hours to finish 50 games by 1-tabling turbos at full tilt, so I mean, this is actually possible. However, the problem is that I might get completely burned out and sick of it when playing that much."
"Only about 7 hours" isn't it very much time? How u imagine dealing with it and not get burned out? What would be your daily routine? If u keep studying imo it's very tough to put a such daily volume. Theoretically possible but how realistically u imagine it?
Bartchalker: Still no rakeback deal. The internal rakeback (full tilt points, and iron man) is about 10% rakeback. So that's all I get.
It's not that big deal for me as long as i make 10K profit/month without rakeback compared to aprox 11K month included rakeback.
Luis: Throw your books down in the toilet and flush it down, because they are almost worthless compared to other methods.
Get a coach that is crushing los stakes to mentor you. A low stakes grinder might be happy to offer you a nice price.
Hi droppin treats, nice blog, however it dosn't seem to be totally relevant for HU sngs.
aurimelisHU: I think i'm capable to play 7 hours every day in average if i played full time. But yeah, you might get burned out. When i'm done with school in 1 year I will try it out.

I think the psychology of feeling you are unstoppable is that you end up making the wrong calls when you should be folding.
I seriously hate it when I run like god, because I started feeling that it should always be like that way. I rather just eat away an opponent and when that last hand than to have everything go my way.
I'm sure thomas you played well to get that way, but the ego gets in your way and you can't believe you can't always win.
I think it would serve you better just to keep yourself my even keel when you are winning and losing. Much EASIER said then done. I have yet to treat those two scenario/imposters the same.
Or we can chalk up to variance...but either way...I think you need to tame the highs and lows.
