Global Poker June SNG Challenge
Screen name is threebanger
I've been an active rec for years but not put in consistent study and volume until recently. I've done ok (20k lifetime profit on GP) but think I'm capable of much more.
The June challenge is very ambitious, probably to a fault, but the goal is to finish ranked #1 on Sharkscope in SEVEN different GP SNGs. Also to be top 10 overall for SNGs.
$11 Winston 9-Max
$11 Winston Turbo 9-Max
$8.80 Cecilia Hyper 6 Max
$8.80 Penny HU
$5.50 Wesley Hyper 6 Max
$3.30 Annette Turbo 9 Max
$3.30 Kim HU
Off to a pretty good start but long way to go. I skipped some mid-range 6-max turbo and a couple other options for a few reasons, mostly centered around game availability. Global traffic is down a fair amount so this gives me a chance at running games pretty much all the time.

I may trim my pursuit in a couple of these the rest of the month, but I think #1 for the month is reachable in at least two more of them. The Winston Turbo and the Wesley Hyper are the two most likely drop candidates, just unable to get enough volume in those and honestly one Hyper is enough.
I also won the Nightly Super Eleven earlier this evening and have several excellent tourney scores in recent weeks.
I'm now top 20 in 5 of these, and top 20 overall. The other two I'm not top 20 ($11 Turbo & $3.30 Turbo) I have gained ground and could pull those off as well. So the original challenge is still on. Over 1k profit this month, and if nothing else I confirm to myself the power of goal setting and daily process.
Now top 5 in 5/7, striking distance in the other two. #11 overall for June.
After being way back in the $5.50 Wesley Hyper, I am now #1 in it. Going to sit out that one the rest of the way unless someone displaces me, get the other top 5s to #1, then hit the lowest performing ones last.
With a week left in June, we are on track for top 10 overall in GP SNGs, and while I only have one #1 ranking, several more are very attainable.
I had posted a screenshot of my graph but the post was deleted. I guess that's not allowed? In any event, with 5 days left in June my monthly status is:
Overall: 11/7,626
Top 20 in 7 unique SNGs - out of total pool of around anywhere from 400 to 1900 in the respective games
Top 5 in 3 unique SNGs
#1 in two of them
I was playing live the last couple days so didn't play many SNGs, but did take down the 9:30 pm Fast Freeze tonight for a cool 275 SC. Tourneys have inflated my overall numbers even more than SNGs this month and I feel the increased study and focus has helped there immensely as well.
My main goal is to get back into the top 10 overall and make a late push for the top 5. This means I won't be worrying about getting to #1 in any of them necessarily, but that may end up being a byproduct of that effort.
July I will be at the WSOP early in the month and have other family obligations til the 15th, so the goals may change somewhat but even on half a month there will still be much to achieve.

If you posted it some time in the last few days, 2+2 was having some major issues with their former site host and in the conversion to a new host some posts didn't make the move over.
Nice job so far on the progress and good luck the rest of the way and at the wsop! What are you play?
Appreciate it! Probably the Ultra Stack and Gladiators of Poker.
Yo three, nice chatting the other night! God speed at wsop and stay out of the hu lobbies for a couple weeks :P
They reset the stats for a new month, at last look I was 11th overall for June. I'll do an advanced search and try to post the screenshot later, but overall very happy with the month.
