Default 2nd batch of 500 11s

My first 500 my ROI was 8 so I think I'm seeing some real improvement owed to lots of really helpful comments on here and lately to eastbays tool which exceeded my expectations. In my next 500 I want to try for the 40% ROI that people say is attainable at the 11s but I doubt I'm good enough to acheive that without a lot of luck. Too many thirds? Thanks for looking.

PARTY 11

loss 298
3rd 80
2nd 58
1st 64

ROI 19
ITM 40

More bubble and prebubble aggression (5-6 handed) and you should be on okay.

Nice job, any time you can improve your ROI by that much it should feel good. 40%?...now that's something to shoot for, gl. I do think the number of 3rds is a little high, try to work on goin for it all once you're in the money and possibly building a bigger stack on the bubble. When do you think you'll move up?

Move up to the 22s. The play is just about the same.

Thanks, I already do some 20s but im gonna focus on 11s because I hate variance. Itll probalby be a while before I do anything above 20.

Yes, and if you're 20% at the $11s I don't doubt you'd probally get ~15% at the 22s. Don't worry about what kind of ROI is possible, just move up.

No way 40% is possible in the long term. I believe that 32% is the absolute maximum.

Anyway at the $22s there is one less idiot but you get the advantage of way more FE to offset this.

What is the magic of the 32% figure? It's kind of, well, wrong to make statements like this as if they are facts. As Lorinda has stated in the past, 40% is possible long term at the 11s. Not saying it is easy, but it is possible. Of course, anyone at this figure would move up to the 22s.

That said, good job to the OP on your 19%... Nice work.
