SnG marathon goals

[stupidsucker]

Here is the goal:

I am starting with a nice sized bankroll for 10+1 party SnGs ($600). The first thing I am doing is starting with 300 of the 10+1 levels. Provided that my RoI is over 25% and my bankroll is at least 300x the level (30x20 = 600) I will move up. If at any time if my bankroll moves below 15x the buy in (15x20= 300) then I will step down to the lower level.

The first 300 SnGs are more of a practice run to make sure I am doing the right thing, after the first 300 I will still play a minimum of 100 SnG's at each new level before moving up.

I am a winning SnG player so far with close to 1000 SnGs under my belt. (yes I am still a SnG baby)My goal is for everyone to learn from some posted hands/tourneys, and from what others have to say about them. I will try to post at least 1-2 times a week and share my progress.

The ultimate goal is to reach the 200+15 level and compare where my $$/hour rate is the best. It is possible I may never reach that level and if I don’t, all isn’t lost as long as I find where I will be the most profitable.

I reserve the right to change the rules slightly if I found I have backed myself into a corner, but with integrity and thought going into the changes. I welcome anyone to join me in this marathon. I will be playing a minimum of 100 SnGs a week. This may take forever depending on how much time I am able to put into it.

I will be starting playing 3-4 at a time, and may change this based on my roi. I am used to playing 4 ata time, but I admit I play better with less, but $$/hour is a factor and I think that stat is higher when I play all 4 tables.

I would like to average about $3 profit for each 10+1 SnG I play for the first 300. This is a modest goal of 27% RoI.

Sounds like a good plan. I wish you luck.

Please download (http://www.tightpoker.com/replayer/replayer.zip)

This is a hand replayer, and will help with showing the hand histories I will be posting.

To comment further, I need to revise my estimation of the hand replayer. The first time I used it, it was slow and annoying, but I didn't realize it could be downloaded, so I was running it over the net. Once you download it, it's (obviously) much smother and more responsive and enjoyable to use. I can't recommend it strongly enough. I'll probably post more full SNG summaries as a result.

Good luck! Extremely interested to hear how you are doing. Doing a little bit of research myself with the 100 sit and go challenge. Very interested to see where I am most profitable as well. I will get into that more after I complete my 100 sit and go challenge, because I may start a similar thread based on research and increased profitability in more tables at a time, etc... Feel free to PM me as well with anything about your quest, or questions to what I have learned from sit and goes.

I'm not sure if you know this already or not, but there is an option to change the speed of the replayer at the bottom right.

I am going out for a hearty burger at Kilroy's.

Need my brainfood, and I will begin when I return. I think I will go for 8-12 SnGs before I go to bed. I usualy play 4 ata time, and if I bust out early I pop another in its place right away. If I am doing poorly I found its better to walk away for a while, but if running well I stick with it.

Best of luck, man! Sounds like you are quite the high volume player. I still cannot manage more than one or two at a time, but I think it has more to do with maintaining the right mindset - I don't like giving up any of my probability of cashing in a given sit'n'go, and so I sacrifice $/hr for increased ROI. So far, it's going pretty well for me, but if I ever want to make part of my living out of it, I will need to develop the multi-tabling skills I think.

Only 57 games into my formal 10+1 adventure (begun in connection with Snowbank's 100 SNG Challenge), but I'm cashing at an extraordinary (and, by all accounts, unsustainable) rate:

ITM: 50.9% (29/57)
1st: 13 (+$507)
2nd: 7 (+$133)
3rd: 9 (+$81)
4-10th: 28 (-$308)

Profit: $413
Prft/gm: $7.245

ROI: 65.87%

Est. hrly rate: $9.65/hr (assumes 45 mins/gm and only one game at a time)

Not sure how to estimate how much my ROI would be reduced by playing more than 1 or 2 tables at once. But I'm not so sure I want to try it, because even if I can sustain an ROI half as good as my current percentage at the 30+3 games (and hopefully larger buy-ins at some point down the road), I think I'll be happy with my $/hr.

For now, just going to focus on not letting my win rates drop too far (when the inevitable downswing occurs).

[stupidsucker]

Nemesis I am not certain. I am going to say no, but I could be wrong.


The first 4 are under my belt, and things have started off well. Playing 4 at a time I placed 4th, 3rd, 3rd, and 2nd for a net profit of $26 ITM %75 and an RoI of 59%. I of course can not sustain this, but I feel better starting off on a good note rather then bad.

I was hoping to add some hands on this post to give a test run on the replayer, but empire has still not sent them after a good 30 minutes now. It will have to wait till tomorrow.

Good luck.

It does not right now, and I don't know of any plans to support PS in the future.
