I can say this with absolute certainty: A winning player at the 22's can instanly make 50% more money by moving up to the 33's.

"If you played 100 SNGs over a year, it's no comparison to someone who's played 2,000 in 4 months."

agreed


I'll restate...i played < 25 33's per week for roughly six months...then > 250 per month for six months...and now i'm moving up


i murdered the 55's today by the way...i agree that a lot of it was between my ears, though i've made some adjustments, namely slowing down with the steals late.

In the 33's i was stealing (correctly) 50-75% of opportunities once the blinds hit 100-200, in the 55's (so far) i do it only when the blinds are 150-300 or bigger, and then only 25% of the time or less. unless i'm a small stack that is.

sound like proper adjustment? or just timid play? its been working today so far, and in my past excursions into the 55's i always seemed to bust 5 or 6 handed because i was WAY TOO agressive at 100-200 blinds.

This sounds like where we've disagreed in the past.

Does this mean Degen prefers to eak into the money-- while scuba prefers to go balls to the walls and pick up chips when blinds are big?

in the 33's i've carved out a nice niche by being a loon 4-6 handed...but this same strategy doesn't seem to work in the 55's...at least not in my short experience.

i could be wrong but i'm quickly gaining the impression that it is going to take a lot more paitence and 'feel' to dominate these.

how in the hell does raptor 8 table these????
