Can A Good $50-200s Player Make $55-$60 A Day At...

the $5 + $.50 level on Stars or the $5 + $1 on Party? i'm interested because i was told by quite a few players that a personal goal of $50 a day at that level is unrealistic. wanted to know some of y'all opinions on that.

depends on how many you play.

I expect nothing less then a 35% RoI at the 5+1, and I play 30 a day, so I would make over $50 a day..

But.. I think its silly to even think about playing 5's when you can play 10's. I guess if you have a very limited bankroll then play 5's till you can afford 10's... Then $100/day goal is still very atainable if you have 6-8 hours to devote to it AND you can 4table.

If you cant fit in at least 30 a day then I would say $50 a day is unreachable.

Edit note: This is based on party, I know nothing of stars other then it takes much longer therefor I think even harder to achieve your goal at stars.

where you place. most people feel that if you are close to 50% ITM on a consistent basis, then you're a good/great player. sense i play on Stars, i'll post this possibility.

for example, you're a pretty steady upper limit SNG player placing 40% ITM at the $100 + $9 level. let's say you play 20 $5 + $.50 SNGs and place in 50% of them. 4 wins, 4 2nds, and 3 3rds will net you $61 profit over recoup of buyins. considering the skill factor and sophistication of higher limit players over lower limit ones, can a bigger limit player accomplish this goal consistently?

bankroll issues are irrelevant. let's just say, one day the bigger limit player decided to test/challenge this thread's question to see if it could be done.

I don't know. Maybe you should try playing 20 to 40 games and see what the results are. The $2+0.20 games at Pacific Poker are so easy I think if I had ten computers, I could play 10 at a time. My ROI is 87% after 36 games.

i'm not a $50-$200 level player. this thread (question) is directed toward them.

At Stars the SNGs take longer, but the rake is less than Party (I'm talking about the $5 SNGs). I would say if you play 25+ a day, it is definately possible to make that amount on either Party of Stars. Of course, if you can do that, move up to the $10 SNGs as soon as you get the bank roll. Good luck.

Hah, That would be quite a feat. 10 buy ins in a day is a sweet day. Maybe on a rainy day...

ZeeJustin · #9 07-23-2004, 09:27 PM

I could easily do $50 per day at the $5+1 level.

I am averaging just under 10 buy ins a day at the 20's now that I have been consistantly playing 30 a day. Today was just horrible horrible though and I posted my first losing day in a long time after playing only 23. (only lost $100)

But this is of course at the 20's .. I could never make 10 buy ins a day at the 200's Id have to play Im guessing 60 a day in order to do that.(assuming I would do well at all, which is NO guarontee for sure)

Im not sure I follow this hypothetical question very well, but If I get the jist of it.. Yes almost any winning SnG player (roi of 30%+ above the 10's) could easily make $50 a day at the 5's.

but why would anyone want to?
