43% ITM and ROI of 18%... this is in the $15+1 help? what do i do? this is after 400 tournies this month... i'm gona start posting many more hand histories... i was thinkin about movin up now that my roll is large... but 18% should be at least 30% man... my overall ROI is only 23%...

I need to learn large stacked play, i sit patiently until i pick up a big hand, and then take a huge chiplead or a bad beat... But i need to learn how to bully again, i used to push any 2 on the bubble w/ big stack vs 2nd biggest, but that has been biting me in the rear alot. Any tips for my roi and itm?

I'l give a breakdown

1sts 50
2nds 55
3rds 74

400 SNG's played... i often eek into the money w/ short stack, should i start gambling more on the bubble? I push pairs, KJ/KQ etc... but still end up short when ITM....

Specific hand... stacks are

BB/villain w/ 5k
SB/me w/ 3k
UTG w/ 1k
button w/ 1500

UTG and button fold, i pick up TT... blinds at 200-400 25 ante.. does anyone fold? Is a push ok? The BB is loose and will call w/ AJ/KQ/ maybe even KJ.. he'll also call with 99-55...

Needless to say, he called w/ KQs and won. I hadn't been pushing much against him... but he still called

Edit: what do the blinds levels need to be for me to push?

Keep up the good work? You won't all be good enough to get 30% ROI.

Yes you need to get aggro again but don't overdo it, I had a similar problem, I found reducing my aggression slightly solved it.

Your current lack of aggression on the bubble is probably affecting this to a large extent, although it is possible you have not had even luck over this sample, mine is somthing like 20% 1sts 15% 2nds and 8% 3rds.

Thats an absolutely fine push, he will call with that when you have AK and AQ AA KK QQ, you should be pushing a lot more hands than that, given the stacks I think his call is terrible.

I played 52 sngs/with 3 heads up in there. ITM 26 played in three tourneys for $23 entry and did not place ITM. Started month $216.19 and ended month $365.94, actually 172.75 but lost the 23 for profit of 149.75. Played pretty much 10 sngs for whole month after moving up.

Well I multiplied my bankroll by 10 !!( well I started the month with 3 dollars) Im playing the 110 cents sng until I reach X.( X= enough bankroll for playing $5+0,5) Is X $165? Or since its a lower buy-in we can go lower?

ITM 41.1 ROI 18.6 = My first 150 recorded SNGs ever (Feb 11-Feb 28).

Really need to work on my bubble play so I'm not so damned short stacked ITM. And the few times I'm not shortstacked ITM, I need to not let the other two stacks battle it out and waste my blinds. Basically, I get way too passive trying to sneak into ITM and when I'm there continue to be a wuss.

I just started playing the 22 and 33 limit SNG's at party just last week, with incredible success. Looks like it might be time to drop 2/4 and start this fulltime

39 Total Tourneys
11 1st
6 2nd
5 3rd

ITM 56.41 and ROI 92.84

Is there anyone here that sustains these numbers long run? Any feedback would be appreciated

*Shrug*

It's not that I don't know how. It's that depending on how my month breaks out from my recent rollercoaster ride of a profit chart I could be losing or winning and I don't have the #s in front of me at the moment.

As I'm sure you already know, breaking out winnings is completely arbitrary. Lifetime I'm on a slight winning streak. Recently I've been on a big losing streak.

For February 1-18 I'm close to even but most likely down (again, without looking at my #s).

I will reiterate that I am very happy (certainly not content, however) with my poker for the month of February despite not being able to look at my spreadsheet or poker tracker stats.

But my posts don't belong here as the OP asked for stats only.

Oh well, this wouldn't be the first time I posted something off-topic, /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

75 tourneys at the 5+.50 level

49.1% ROI

Also got my first final table in a MTT last night in an Omaha/8 tourney. Only 80 bucks, but it was nice to finally cash in one of these.

Seen my bankroll go from $89 to $349 in 2 weeks, so definitely can't complain about Feb. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Did all my stats last night.

Disappointed in the number of SnGs played (but I was on vacation for 8 days), ROI Ok though, and consistent with my ITM %. I also just learned to 4 table this month.

Mostly $33s, a smattering of $22s, and 16 $55s.

SNGs: 308
ITM: 44.5%
ROI: 27.8%
$$$: ~2500

Miserable month. I moved at the beginning of the month, and between assembling my new bookshelves and trying to get the internet up and running (took a good week, no thanks to Verizon), I only managed to play 475 $22s. Better yet, I ended the month with my worst run ever. So...ITM, a horrifying 36.6%...ROI, a whopping 9.3%. +$970, baby.

Sounds like a pretty good month to me! Do not know what the ROI was but with $2500 in lap dances and $6000 in booze, I would call that a winning month. I have been wondering what to do with all my Party Poker winnings...

These stats are decent for a start but at the lower levels you want to aim for an ITM of about 70% and an ROI of about 125%. Are you flopping enough sets in the early levels? That's a common issue for people who're just starting out. You may also need practice sucking out when your blind steals get caught on the bubble. On the whole, though, good job! You're on your way.

For those that have full time jobs, and families, how many STT are you guys getting in per month? I only have 2-3 hours max per night to play, and I am 2 tabling the $55's and $109's. This month I was able to play 131 STT's. Just ordered a new monitor so I can 4 table, and I am hoping to get in 250+ per month. Here are my resutls:
$55's
ROI 49.8%
ITM 46.4%
Total Tourneys 110

I play four tables at a time, usually 2-3 hours/night. However, I usually play two tables of STTs and two tables of ring games. In February I played 81 50+5s with 44% ROI. My goal is usually 4 STTs per session. I usually play some MTTs on weekends (Empire 50K, Stars 25K rebuy).

Don't think I've been playing particularly good poker.

Just started playing the NL SNGs this month:
10+1 NL N=20 ROI 18.18 ITM 40%
20+2 NL N=95 ROI 12.92 ITM 35.79

As a change of pace because my performance in the 50+5 limits was dropping:
50+5 Limit N=155 ROI 12.02 ITM 34.84
100+9 Limit N=1 ROI -100 ITM 0

SNG total N=272 ROI 10.65 ITM 35.29

[Excludes 30 or so various games (on computer without pokertracker), with small profit.]

27 NL multitable, +$725, ROI listed as 99.32 (but inaccurate, since I'm usually looking for overlays, which are not reflected in this)

Stupid winner take all home game tournament. $10 buy in. No fee. ITM 100%. Net +$70. Will not be invited back, since I read a radiology textbook during most of the game. Single table home game poker with slow people is extraordinarily boring.

I'm a bit dissapointed to be honest.

Over 85 11s in Feb I had 38% ITM and 12% ROI.
Over 97 11s in Jan I had 40% ITM and 12% ROI.

In Jan my distribution of finishes 1/2/3/4/other was 10/12/17/20/38, so having 4th as my most common finish doesn't thrill me greatly (though I know the sample size is tiny). Still suggests I need to work on my 5 and 4 handed play a fair bit.

Feel like my agression level is okay, but potentially misplaced, and that I'm paying relatively too much attention to cards when making a push decision, and not enough attention to position and stack sizes.

03-01-2005, 08:49 PM

My HQ or "Happiness Quotient" was through the roof. No idea what my ROI and ITM were, but I do know that I had more money in my account than I did earlier in the month, so much so that I made a withdrawal. One's poker account should not be larger than one's savings account . . . I think Ben Franklin said that . . . or was it SkipperBob I get the two confused sometimes.

sigh, do i have to post my stats? oh ok. here goes.

for this month, i have played entirely too much. 8 tabling all day every day. and now im taking a break. i finished the month with a very solid streak of 700 being even, which kinda screwed me. so here goes, this is in 33s, 55s, and 109s, overall, total. enjoy

2107 tourneys played. sigh. no life
$13,810 profit
9.1% roi
36.5% itm

7th 9.4% 199
8th 6.3% 132
9th 2.9% 61
10th 1.9% 40

there ya go, enjoy the month of a 'pro' player. i should be up about 20k, but again, i suck at poker, as my numbers indicate. i really dont even want to post them, buuuut, i think i may have played more than anyone this month, so i figure i might as well give yall something to look at. i really wish i took the last week and a half off and didnt waste 700 tourneys breaking even. that kinda sucks. holla.

I'm going to petition the calendar people to get a few extra days in February. Started with $400 (new site) at the 22s, focused on keeping my ITM above 40%, goofing with the 33s when bankroll allows, ended +$2510. That also includes my very unsuccessful trials with the 55s, so I'm extremely happy with the positive swing in variance. >50% ROI on the 33s, Booya!

438 total
ITM 37%
ROI 15%
Win/loss $4,145

$109’s

278 total
ITM 29%
ROI -7%
Win/loss -$2,202

Rakeback received (from play last month) $1,846

Total revenue for the month $11,885.

So, the $109’s made for a really crappy month in sng’s. Fortunately I did have a major score in MTT’s with a second in the Wednesday Super at party for $9,200, and another second in a $109’s with 80 for $1,300. So total revenue for the month ended up at $11,885.

My overall ROI in the $109’s is a pathetic 4% after 1100 games. I stubbornly keep expecting it to go back up but I may be deluding myself. I really don’t know what to do from here. I’m sure I will start playing more 5/10 6max and MTT’s. In sng’s I imagine I am stubborn enough that I will pound my head against the $109 wall for one more month before giving up.

BTW I just had the worst bout with flue of my life yesterday. I spent 5 hours lying on the bathroom floor with a high fever and completely delusional. My wife was totally freaked and called the doc 4 times. She says if I had thrown up one more time (by now I had the suppositories even) she was taking me to the hospital. Anyway, to get to the point, she says most of that time I talked about a poker game I was in, and how if I didn’t beat the demons I wasn’t gonna get better. Might be time for a vacation soon.

actually, 8 tabling thats only about 6 hours a day, maybe even less /images/graemlins/wink.gif i dont run them in sets, i just keep them going non stop. soon as i bust 1 table i get another start immediately. this makes it a lot easier to pump out a lot of sngs. and i 8 table of course, 4 would be nigh impossible to get over 2k in one month. and yes, i like to think that i AM a bot.

hey lacky, you know that little 3 day break thing that you made me take that i am currently on and not able to crush the 5-10 NL game? yea, you need to take one too. go camping, fishing, blow stuff up on HL 2, whatever it is you do. the demons will still be there when you get back, but maybe you will be prepared to defeat them. holla
