Default Update: 800 Sngs in 30 days

This challenge has been going on for 14 days and I am waaay behind. I'm disapointed but no as much as I should be because i am running pretty good. I should be around 400 completed but I am only at 311

300 22's ROI 19.5 % +$1335
5 33's ROI -82 % -$123
6 55's ROI 21.2 % +$70

Things are going good. I am going to move to the 55's within a week as my BR is approaching $2500 and I have 1200 22's done with 11% ROI (first 300 were learning experinces). Wish me luck. I'll post again at the end of the challenge hopefully with over 800 done because I am adding a new monitor to 6 and 8 table.

Ditto, I think you should go for 75-100x buyins for the $55s, but of course, it's up to you.

Meh, 50 is more than fine if you are willing to drop down.

I keep a 5k roll, more for psychological reasons than anything else.

50 buyins is fine if you can easily replace the money you are playing with.

75+ if you are living off your BR.

I play with 100 for psychological reasons as well.

Congratulations on your stats so far. I will offer you a suggestion, however:

If your ROI is 11% at the $22's over 1200, even if the first 300 were learning, you will not be able to beat the $55's.

If you caught my post "Madness in the Rhythm" a few months back, I mentioned how there were a disproportionate number of pros at the $33's. Well, they've almost all moved up to the $55's and that level is currently the most heavily populated with grinders. I wish you the best of success, but if you make that jump right now you will just be paying rake until you are forced back down.

If you do it anyways, I hope I am wrong.
