Default Re: Makes sense to NOT move up?

HonchoOverLoad....I want to congratulate you....I tried to post a similar question a few weeks ago (to your 2nd paragraph) and nobody must of understood me because I got almost no answers and all anybody told me was that I can't sustain my ROI......but you managed to get answers to your question which is nice because I have been wondering about some of these things myself.

I play the 6 handed games at Bodog and I agree that it is hard to compare yourself to others because most people play 10 person games. Anyway, I am killing the Bodog games....I only have about 250 SNG's that I've tracked so far, but my ROI is just over 45% right now. From what I have read on this forum, I can expect my ROI to go down, but I agree with you that I think a higher ROI is possible on the 6 person games than the 10 person games. My own personal experience is that....

I use to play at Pacifc Poker where I did pretty well, but one month I had a period where I won something like 11 out of 14 of the 5 person short handed games they have (the 33's). But I only made about $300 over this period of time....and from keeping track of my stats I know that I finish in 1st way more than 2nd or 3rd, but I was artifically making less money because Pacific pays out top 3 out of 5 players. So I made the switch to Bodog which has a more top heavy payout for 1st place and I have been much happier since.

At any rate, my own personal opinion is that a higher ROI is possible with the 6 person SNG's than the 10 person SNG's. So for example, with Bodog I need to compare my ROI at 6 person with what I "think" I can get at the 10 person games at a higher level. So I guess whether or not you move up all depends on that math of what your ROI will be if you move up....but I agree that I think it CAN make sense to stay where you are because you might make more money at the 33's....but you won't know unless you know your ROI if you move up at a higher level versus your current ROI.

It would be great if you can keep me posted on if you move up or not, but more importantly WHY you chose to move up or stay where you are, I would be very interested in what you decide because I think we are in a very similar boat and I have been torn between similar decisions.

very cool. I will keep you posted on what happens. good to know there are other 2+2ers who play 6-handed! Or actually, it's NOT good to know that if they're competing with me on Stars... [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
