1st day of my summer grinding...not off to a good start

Well today is off to a bad start. I really wanted to get up early and start playing. I'm still on my work schedule and haven't been able to get to sleep early or get up early. I also stayed up to watch T Soprano beat Daniel N. for a bracelet last night. Congrats Brock.

Anyway I actually woke up really early just thinking about playing. Can't remember the last time I woke up and was excited to get to playing. It was way too early for me so I tried to get some more sleep but I probably should have just gotten up. When I did get up I started to open my 1st set then decided to wait a few minutes and try a couple of AHK scripts for loading games I saw on 2+2. As I tried to download them my internet service went out. Least I wasn't registered in 20 games when it happened.

My goals are probably going to change for the summer as well. My 5 week vacation has been extended to 7. Go back work 2 weeks then another off. Who knows what GM is going to do.

Anyway my current plan is to play no higher than 6.50s until July. I also don't plan to cash out right now at least not unless I have to. In July I want to try moving up to the 16Ts. Probably start 12 tabling and see how I do. I also want to try some small-mid stakes MTTs again. The WSOP action has got me wanting to play them again.

My current goal is still going to be 200 SNGs a day (Obv I might not get there today) at 15% ROI at the 6.50s. I'm happy with anything over 10% since I'll be 20 tabling. In July move to the 16Ts and hopefully be rolled for any MTTs under $20. I plan to use a 100BI rule like I am for SNGs. I'd like to play SNGs during the day and MTTs in the late afternoon and night. I'm not sure how many SNGs I'll be playing at the 16T level. If I step down to 12 tabling I probably can't get much more than 100 a day. I may end up staying at the 6.50s and 20 tabling v/s playing less at the 16Ts I really don't know and haven't thought too much about it. It depends on where I'm making the most per hour and how many grinders are at the 16Ts. I'm not going to try and 20 table with a bunch of other grinders. My game just isn't there yet and its really not that profitable with more than 2 or 3 good regs anyway.

OK 1st set went bad. I tried using this new SNG opener I found on 2+2. It started miscounting the games and ended up registering for me for over 30 games. SO I spent most of the 1st level trying to unreg from the extra games and got sat out on a few tables. I also somehow forgot the 3.40s are non turbos and I hate non turbos. The players were worse than I expected and I ran even worse which makes for a bad session. I cashed 8 of 21 but only had 1 win. 4 2nds and 3 3rds. I play HU a lot better than that even rusty. Just got coolered a lot. Top pair v/s btm set a couple times. I'd flop top set v/s a FD, etc. Only lost like $10 so I can't complain too much. Going to take a break, review a few hands, try to find another SNG opener so I can play the 6.50s in sessions.
