I found out tonight that I can two table these and win pretty consistently. How much money could I make an hour at these assuming a 40 % ITM ? Thanks

ITM isn't as important as ROI, because some people with ahigher ITM will win less. Example, someone plays very weak tight on the bubble may make more 3rd but less firsts.

You will want to move up to the 10+1s, since the 20% rake is not cool.

1. you can't find out in one night anything about your ability to make a profit at any level, multi-tabling or otherwise.

2. don't play the 5+1s. the 10+1s are just as easy and there is less (relative) rake.

3. search for posts about long term ROI and ITM expectations. there's a ton of them out there, you don't need to start a new one.

I had a person call for all their chips (about 900 ) on the flop with ace high. Blinds were only like 50/100 or so. It wasn't like she was completely desperate. That was absolutely amazing to me.

Even at the $20's and $30's youll see level 1 all-ins with A7s preflop.

your comments are starting to worry me...

in your original post, you seem to be saying "i have done really well tonight and therefore i am confident that i can beat the 5+1s".

is this a fair interpretation? please correct me if not.

now you're saying the 22s and 33s are hard. how many have you played? i'm curious.

There is a difference. You have to decide how your losses against better players compares to losses due to the rake. Buy poker tracker or set up a spreadsheet and do some crunching.

I second the other poster that mentioned the validity of success over one night. He's not saying that you're a bad player, just that more data is necessary.

Example:

I play primarily 11s. However every now and then I play the 22s. I have about 10 22s under my belt, and my ROI is over 200%. Pretty damn good results, but I'd be foolish to think that this is maintainable just on the basis of my past results. I plan on moving up at some point once I have a very comfortable bankroll and grow some balls.

I've realized that the only thing that has ever kept me from moving up is [ QUOTE ]
balls

[/ QUOTE ]. I was afraid to move from the 6s to the 11s. I was deathly afraid of the 22s. I would never dare 8-table! The 33s? No way. "Never the 55s- they are too hard". I have said that over and over, and it really just took me sucking it up and giving it a shot. Needless to say, each of those times I was wrong. I did fine at the 11s- I really built my roll at the 22s quickly. 8-Tabling was a godsend, the 33s were very beatable, and I'm doing very well at the 55s. Have some confidence in yourself- learn from what I'm saying. The longer you worry and fret about moving up, the longer you're missing out on building both your game and your bankroll. IMHO.
