ROI at 200+15's

tongni · #1 06-23-2005, 11:42 PM

I know I should probably use the search function, but my friend has decided that playing 200+15's with a 2k bankroll is a good idea, having played one or two 100+9's and a handful of 10+1's previously, because the play at the 200+15's is "the worst I have seen". Please give some reasons why this is not a good idea, and what a sustainable ROI is for this game.

Let him do what he wants, and let him learn from his own mistakes.

Who knows. He might get lucky.

Personally, I have over a 6k bankroll, and Im not even playing the 100s right now.

I have over a 5 k bankroll, and I'm not playing the 55s.

What's his nick? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Playing with a 2k bankroll for me would be suicide considering that I swing 2k practically every day.

My BR is around 9K...and I play the 22's and 33's. LOL...I normally 6-table 3/6 and 5/10 though, but I'm beginning to HATE the grind. I suck at SnG's but want to get better. About 250 sng's so far and I'm accually in the green a good bit [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'm happy with this. Its a HUGE cut in $/hr though so I'm finding it hard to make myself do SnG sessions
