To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

I just wanted to let you know what is possible. I beat the 55s for 12% over a 2200 sample earlier in the year. Thanks to a vegas trip and poor game selection at nl ring, I am rebuilding at the 22s currently. Just wanted to let you know that currently after 225 22s, Im break even.

Have a nice day.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

So my 8 straight OOTM in my 4th day at the $33s isn't a big deal?

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

As long as I don't cash out, I'm fine. I think I'm lifetime at around -30% ROI counting only two days following a cashout (sample size ~500 SnGs). [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

i beat the 55s for a 13% roi over 4500 games this summer. I had a horrible run over the next 1200 games and right now Im back at the 22s and 33s.

i was also down $300 after my last 300 33s. i hate variance

Thanks, I feel a lot better now about my 15 buy-in drop in the Step 5's over my last 50, as well as my recent 45 buy-in drop in the 215s after scorching them at ~20% for > 500.

Now, about the pot calling the kettle black (and I'm guilty as well, it would appear)...

DAMN! You are my hero for being able to say that as winning player, cause you must be making lots 'o' loot all the other time.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

I play the $20 games well and I also win money and hope to play the $30 game soon.

I'm down WAY more! I wanna be your hero!

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

I will never, ever (did I say never?) neverever slow play trips ever again. Ever and never again. There is only one never and it's ever forever. Forever and ever, it's never now. Everybody got that? Ever.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

Huh. I went for 15% at the $55s over 2000 games, and thought that sucked. So I've been playing $33s to master 8tabling. Of course, that 15% included 7% over the last 1200.

My ROI on the $33s has taken a hit lately. I'm down to 21%. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]


EDIT--My point is that perhaps I expect a bit too much of myself. I'm probably not THAT good. Heh.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

You're not that good. It isn't a downswing.... YOU'RE MEDIOCRE. It is still decent money compared with a normal hourly wage job so take solice in that.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

Ok I'll bite.

Daliman is the most heroist person I know. Seriously, I hope things turn around for everyone.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

From down $10k (aided by 7/7 OOTM Step 5's) 2/3 of the way through the day to up $1k at the end. Never even done the down $5k to up before. Variance is interesting indeed. This game is a lot easier when you win coinflips, don't run into monsters, and get timely suckouts (I'm edumicated at poker).

Beer me, please.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

so i start playing poker again right.. cuz i havent had time and i get a day or 2 off.. so i decide to 8 table some 109s on my new rakeback program.. first 19 sngs im up 2700ish. ship the dough right.. after 75 im up 1200. i love dropping 15 buyins in a row, then breaking even. variance is fun. im drunk. holla

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

Ah good, can I join in too? Having beat the $55s for 37% ROI over 400 I've then dropped over 30 buyins in the last 100. Lovely.

I blame Irieguy's experiment, and me joining it. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

I stopped tracking ROI about 5 months ago and have been running goot ever since.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

my assesment of poker this month? it's a stupid game, in all forms, that sucks great big donkey dicks. Playing said game for a living is a stupid pursuit and a wasted life.

Will any of the above keep me from logging on tommorrow for more humiliation. Of course not, where else is an idiot like me gonna make 100K+ a year without getting dressed or bathing or kissing up to some [censored] boss. Job sure sucks some weeks though.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

I wouldn't say it's a stupid game. Everything else you said is pretty much bang on. About the only other thing I would say is to try and do something good with your spare time and your life won't feel wasted.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

But I enjoy getting washed, talking to real people without having to guess the tone of their typing, before I come home, slob down, crack open a beer, put on my fowl mood face and only THEN accept being humiliated by said stupid game [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Makes me not feel so bad about my 3% ROI over 234 $16 turbos a few months back.

Don't worry dude, you'll get back there, I have faith.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

These posts scare the sh1t out of me.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

I was a 11.1% ROI over my first 1K $55's this year. This month I have played 251 and lost $455 for a negative ROI of 3.30. I think my problem is that I play bad though.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

Why? Haven't you seen enough of them to be immune by now?

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

Based on those numbers I'd say there's a good chance you're a winning player at that level which doesn't make you a bad player at all. Everyone can improve though.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

Beef-
Have you ever posted an "I'm running good" post?

P.S.
Have I mentioned that I have had one losing week since moving to the $55s?

Hehe I started running bad right at the start of the data that Irie is getting from me too! The "DATA COLLECTION CURSE".

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

Its posts like this that make me feel happy that Time Warner hasn't been able to get my internet up and running for a month. Before reading this thread I was ready to go on a bloody rampage...now I figure it mighta saved me some loot.

Re: To all of the downswing whiners around here
 

I beat the 55s for 12%

No offense, but I don't consider a 12% SNG ROI to be "beating" anything. Randomly, you should be ITM 30% of the time. To my mind, the threshhold of "beating" them is a 50% increase over the average, or 45% ITM. At 45% ITM spread evenly over the 3 payout spots (assuming a 10-handed table), your ROI should be 36%.
