Re: Friend Destroying $11s, should he move up?

[ QUOTE ] ...but is probably the most risk averse inidividual on the planet. [/ QUOTE ] He shouldn't be playing poker, then. [/ QUOTE ] Stupid reply and sadly so typical for the whole 2+2 forum. I'm also a pretty risk averse player and I've made more than 5 figures on 10's and 20's so far this year. I 12-table and play an average of 60 sngs a day (11s and 22s). With rakeback I make an average of 5$/sng. Each month thats $5000+ with pretty low variance which in Sweden is more than the figures a doctor makes, and I can pick my own hours etc better. Sure, it's very possible that if I had an more aggressive (or normal for that matter) bankroll strategy that I might be making $15k+ a month by now but it's also possible I would make way less than 5000$ if I constantly had to move up and down because of variance and the fact that I'm maybe not a winning multitabling player in the 100s and 200s during the hours I play the most (3am - 7am, 2pm - 4pm EST) So tell me again, why should'nt I play poker? |

Re: Friend Destroying $11s, should he move up?
Please tell us his sample size. I had a 40% ROI over 200 tournaments, then it dropped to a more reasonable level over the next 500. But saying he has a 8000$ bankroll makes me kinda scared if he has made this only playing the 10+1 tours..

Re: Friend Destroying $11s, should he move up?
Yeah I have an $8000 roll and am still in the 20s, and 10s during the day.
I hate having losing days of $400+ in a day still which means I wouldn't like the swings in the 50s+ right now. |

Re: Friend Destroying $11s, should he move up?
I hate these stupid threads.
Move up when you have the bankroll and you know you're killing the current level. I don't care what your stats are, you just *know* when you're better than 95% of your opponents. |

Re: Friend Destroying $11s, should he move up?
To hear it from the table chat at the 11's, half the people there think they're better than 95% of their opponents.

Re: Friend Destroying $11s, should he move up?
I don't blame him for not moving up. However, I think he should. What makes this game so great is the personalities.
Tell your friend to give it a try and move up to the 22's for about 200-300 sng's. Don't go in saying to yourself you are only going to play about 50 or so. Variance could give you the wrong impression of the new limit. Remember if he is winning at a 40% ROI at the 11's, than he only has to do 20% at the 22's to make the same $$$. And if he moves to the 33's than he only has to make 13.33%! Later spngbbch |

Re: Friend Destroying $11s, should he move up?
I don't think 50% TM is unreasonable for $11 tables. Hell, when I don't make blunders *I* get about 50% ITM at them. And I'm pretty mediocre. I've only been playing for about a month.
I would say I make it into the money about 1/3 of the time and of the times I don't half the time it's because an outrageous blunder. I'm playing on pokerroom actually because I don't have Windows. But from what I read the Party tables are even softer (if that's even possible). |
