DoN SnG Challenge Update 8

It's been a while since I've posted an update on my Double or Nothing Sit-n-Go Challenge.

I had a bit of a down turn. My last two updates were me reporting I was break even. It was a bit demoralizing and I wasn't putting in the volume I needed to meet my goal.

Instead I was taking a look at my stats and hand histories in working on figuring out what adjustments I need to make. It seems to have helped.

Since my last update my win rate has been ~ 58% and my ROI around 8% with a $120 profit bringing my challenge bankroll up to $627.

Looking at my Holdem Manager graph for these games, I'm running around 8 buy-ins below EV since my last update. That may not seem bad but historically I've been running consistently at or above my all-in EV. At my low point since the last update I was running more than 20 buy-ins below EV.

The period covered by my last update (purple portion of graph) I was actually running above EV. I'm not sure what to make of it yet. When my AI EV was tighter to my winnings, my win rate was higher. I'm still not sure what to make of it because some of the adjustments I've made seem necessary.

Would love to get back to my initial win rate of this challenge so I'll go over some of those first games and see if there's anything I can improve upon.

For now I'm happy the graph has moved up and I had a decent ROI since my last post.

I had initially planned to move to the $10 DoNs when I reached $1,000 but I'm going to take some shots sooner and see if it might be worth moving up when I reach around $700-750.
