I cant beat the $215...
...and i hate it!
I 8-table the $109 with fair sucess: 3000 tournies and a roi of 5.72. I know many 2+2'ers do better and thats why i seek your advice on how to get better. I take my stabs at the 215 and seem to get burned. After 122 tournies im down 4000 $ of which app 1200 $ is bad luck hu (i ran thru all my all-in hu confrontations and calculated that i lost app 30000 more chips than i was supposed too. Since i figured 1000 t$ was worth 40$ when head up in a 200$ tournament i estimated the bad luck factor of 1200 $). Of course many other kinds of bad luck exist but i think it is fair to say i cannot beat the tournaments. So what is the problem? Well i seem to lose on certain blind levels. I think maybe im to tight. My stats on the blind levels 50/100, 75/150 and 100/200 are less than impressive to say the least: 50/100: hands: 27560 t$ won -25261 vol put t$ in the pot 11.68 pf raise %: 9.4 75/150: hands 14447 t$ won -1446 vol put t$ in the pot 16.07 pf raise %: 13 100/200 hands 18429 t$ won -41302 vol put t$ in the pot 20.39 pf raise %: 16.2 Does this stat strike u as unusual? I think maybe im too tight. How does my stats compare to yours? Maybe its a litle bit naive to think that my problem can be solved just by looking at stats, but maybe some of u great poker players can guide me in the right direction. All help appreciated. |

I'd suggest stop 8 tabling the $109s, focus hard on not making mistakes and try to maximize chips on every hand (ie, get better at poker).

Re: I cant beat the $215...
Ok. With less than 6% at the $109s I'm not sure you can actually beat the $215s.
6% is pretty good.. That's what 90+ an hr??? You obviously have room to grow so why not just stick to the $109s for now and work on your game. Get paid to learn [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

"~$52/hr"
You might wanna include rakeback, it's more valuable at the higher stakes [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

dude, people who are beating the 109s for 5% shouldn't be playing the 109s, even for the rakeback.

"dude, people who are beating the 109s for 5% shouldn't be playing the 109s, even for the rakeback."
I think it's fine if he's cashed up (ie very comfy BR) and as long as he intends to work on his game*. He probally doesn't earn any less than he would at the $55s (6% at the $109s = 14% at the $55s). *important if he wants to stay there. Otherwise drop back to the $55s or maybe even the $33s. |

Re: I cant beat the $215...
so you make $6 a tourny at the 109's? Why not just 8 table the 33's
