Re: how good is your average winning 109er???
 

Agreed, of course it's more about how you play your stack, be it 800 or 1500, but all things being equal, 1500 you have so much more room to do things. You have more options as to what to play, how much to raise to, how often you need to steal, etc. And until it gets to level 8 where the blinds are 200/400 and there is little fold equity, I think it gives you a distinct advantage, more so than just the fact that mathematically having more chips means more $.

I don't think there's that much correlation between going into level 4 with 1500 and level 4 with 800 having as huge a difference as you think to winning.

This thread is all sorts of funny.

"So I'd say just play one or two at a time"

"I know that people like to multitable, but at the higher levels ABC poker just doesn't cut it anymore."

Some people would prefer to make as much multitabling lower buyins, and experience much smaller bankroll fluctuations.

1500 by level 3 doesn't even make much difference compared to 1000, you aren't even close to 25% more likely to reach the money, so what's the point?

This has been discussed so many times before.

Re: how good is your average winning 109er???
 

I recently dropped from 109's to 55's. This was somewhat difficult transition at first. IE at 109's I dont expect my AK to meet up with 2 pair on a A 6 3 flop! I played a slightly more passive yet not quite as tight 109 game. The biggest difference does seem to be the bluff frequency and the " how on earth do you play those cards " in the 55's. The 109 bubble play is a killer!! Had a positive ROI on 109's but to large a variance for the roll I was carrying.

Not that good! I would say I'm about the average winning 109'er and I definately have room to improve. Just be confident, and practice a little table selection and you should be fine if you can beat the 55's for more than 15%.
