My results after my first 500 $11s
Not bad, could be worse, could be better.
I am leaning towards the stats out the window approach as others on the board have done. With that being said, the final results: ROI 17.6% ITM 39.8% Profit: $970 Finishes: 1st 12.0% 60 2nd 13.8% 69 3rd 14.0% 70 4th 16.8% 84 5th 16.4% 82 6th 13.2% 66 7th 7.0% 35 8th 4.0% 20 9th 2.0% 10 10th 0.8% 4 And just to note. I didn't make a single penny in my last 300 SnGs. That's right. First 200 I had a 45+% ROI and 2nd 300 I had a 0 ROI. Pretty frustrating to say the least. |

Well done. I can't believe you only have 4 10th place finishes. Impressive.
As for your last 300 SnG, don't sweat it. You are trying to get better. It's kind of like golf lessons. Usually your score gets worse while you try to improve your swing. However, once it clicks, you will be a better player. 1 step backwards, 2 steps forward. I'm a big fan of moving up when your bankroll allows, not waiting for some arbitrary sample size or ROI. Good luck in the next 500 and the 20s. |

Thus it doesn't seem that 4 10th place finishes means that one is playing well, i.e., impressive. |

Re: My results after my first 500 $11s
but it does mean you haven't been sucked out on very many times in that situation, which is impressive in and of itself...

Maybe impressed isn't the right word...I need to borrow Irie's vocabulary. This might make an interesting discussion. What is the correct % of 10th place finishes? From what I remember from the 10s, if you want to finish 10th, you are going to have a lot of competition. Surviving 2 hands is often enough to avoid 10th. 4/500 is impressive, but is probably too low if he keeps that same % in the 20s and 30s (I doubt he will). Being tight is not the goal. Winning $ is the goal. |

Re: My results after my first 500 $11s
I'm curious if you use the "push with any two pretty cards" strategy at the 11s. It seems that you have more 3rds and 4ths than you would like. I'm assuming that the blinds are still fairly small around the bubble. If they are, check some of your HH to make sure you are being pragmatic about your pushes. If they're going to call you with crap, don't bother pushing, especially if the blinds are still low. That being said, 17.6% is nothing to cry about. If you have the BR (I say at least $600), then I'd say take the step up. Or, you could try doing what I do if you multi-table. Play one or two 11s and throw in a 22. Good luck!

It's gotten me in trouble twice now on the boards. You're right, it should be possible to figure out an optimal # of 10th place finishes. I'd do it.... but I majored in English, not Math.
