Nothing to see here. Move along.

eek, playing the $5+1 isn't too smart. sotp paying 20% in rake, that's 10% in additional overhead

It's less than that as I get rakeback. And no I'm not going to stop playing 5+1's until my bankroll hits $330.

You may call that stupid, I call it earning my stripes. I don't mind the burden of paying it as it is more incentive for me to work my way out of it and furthermore to reap the rewards of a higher ROI. Once out of it, I have then even more incentive to not go back to it.

But if you care that much feel free to give me the 80 bucks I'm trying to win so my bankroll can hit it's needed level up requirements I have established for myself.

Seriously, I don't think you understand just how much that extra 10% in vig hurts your bottom line. If you're using the AM spreadsheet, go to your "entry fee" line and type in "$0.50" to simulate a normal 10% vig. See how much it jumps? Seriously, those $5+1s will take a solid 8-9% off of your real ROI. That's easily enough to turn you from profitable to unprofitable.

Stay in 'em if you want. Nobody's forcing you to go anywhere you don't want to. But my suggestion: Take your roll over to the $11s and rock and roll.

I simply will not play any game where my roll is less than 30x the buy in. I hit a bad run of luck on the 11s and poof...there goes my bankroll. I'll hang out where I am for now. Even if I continue to break even, just by rakeback alone I'll be playing 11s in two months.

However, as my skill increases, I feel that I'll be there much sooner. Like you said, no one is forcing me. All I'm asking for you to do is accept my decision on this even if you wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I can live with the fact that it's a "stupid" decision.

So deposit another 150 bucks or whatever. It's a no brainer if you wanna take this at all seriously.

Some might say that paying 20% rake in a sng is WORSE than calling off all your chips with 3rd pair.

Here's a deal:
- I give you 80 bucks now.
- You stop playing below 10+1 on Party Poker.
- You give me 10% of your buy-ins for the next year at the 11s SNGs and up.

I'm open to negotiation.
