MY $11s...comments?

[Poolgod32]

Ok
So Id appreciate any help in terms of what should I be studying (Bubble play, HU, early aggression/tightness,etc) to improve my results in the $11s. Here are the stats
1st 36 11%
2nd 42 12.8%
3rd 47 14.37%
4th 34 10.4%
5th 38 11.62%
6th 40 12.23%
7th 40 12.23%
8th 21 6.42%
9th 23 7.03%
10th 6 1.83%

# Played 327
ITM 38.23%
ROI 11.2%
Amt won $403

Also I have started tracking results where I multitable vs single tables.
Should I be happy with these? I dont feel happy!
Thanks

be happy.

I'd like to see the number of 4/5 flipped w/ the 6/7 amount. Either your tables have been tight, or you're opening up too early (probably around 25/50).

Besides that I think we'd have to see actual hands to help you improve. Don't feel bad, you're making money sitting on your ass.

For comparison purposes, here are my SNG numbers through 341 SNGs (80% $5.50s and 20% $11s):

total won $2,778
total wagered $2,140
Plus/Minus $639
ITM% 47%
ROI% 30%


1st.....2nd....3rd.....4th....5th/6th...7-10th
40......48.....73......44.......70..........66
12%....14%..21%...13%.....21%.......19%

I'm fairly happy with these numbers, but never happy with the 44 4th places. The goal is to get below 8% in 4th place.

Maybe tighten up a bit as recommended earlier.

Those are good numbers. Dont you think there are some diff between the 5s and 10s?

Don't ever feel like "I'm not winning enough." Winning is winning.

You might be a little to passive when it gets down to 6 or 7 players, but I have no idea, post hands and your thought process on the bubble.

I think the most important thing is to post your thought process, you will say "I thought I'd do this because of this" and posters will say "no, you're an idiot, you have no idea what youre doing" and after 10 of those someone will explain the right way to approach that stage of the game and you'll be better off.

I played 80% of my $5.50s at Pacific and all the $11s there. The rest were at UB. I feel there is almost no difference at these levels. The key is bankroll management and your comfort level.

In addition to my winnings as stated, my total bankroll is $735 (dropped from $780 after a couple tough days), so I should in theory be playing the $11s or the $22s according to most charts. I moved over to Ultimate Bet and am now happily multi-tabling, so I can get my SNG numbers up. I am staying at the $5.50s until I hit $1000 in bankroll. It will probably take another month or two (just started multi-tabling and have had good success thus far, so it goes up/or down faster than with single tabling on Pacific). This is much more bankroll than is necessary to play $11s or $22s, but I want to see that 4th digit in the bankroll first.

I have had great runs like last weekend when I was ITM 60% out of 38 games, and then followed up OTM in 8 of 10. It doesn't bother me much at the $5.50 level, because I know it swings both ways. But, if I was playing the $11s and I dropped 8 of 10, I'd be a little uncomfortable. It really depends on your comfort level with your bankroll.

Once you get up to 2-300 SNGs, you will have a fairly representative idea of your game at a given level. From there, in my opinion, its all about the numbers. I know if I play 100-200 SNGs over a month or two, I should make X dollars if I play to my skill level.

Your numbers are good in my opinion, particularly the 4th places (which make me want to vomit due to the time wasted), and bubble play is very important. One of the things I think about when it gets 4 and 5 handed is my stack size. If I'm the short man on the table, I will position push with any medium pair or higher, any big A, suited or not and if I get really desperate 4 handed, I will push with suited connectors. Depends where the blinds are. I get very uncomfortable when I have less than $1K in chips and the blinds are $100/$200 (UB tables can be tight). I've become more of a fan of the all in push, rather than the 3 to 4 X BB steal when short-stacked, because if you go 3-4X, you are essentially pot committed and there's too many ways you can misplay the hand post flop. Think about it, if I have $1K in chips and bet 3 times the BB for a steal, that's $600 in chips. May as well go all in.

A lot of people have different thoughts on this, but blind stealing is an integral part of the game on the bubble and something I'm working to become better at in my game.

2-300 games is nowhere near enough to tell you what your winrate is.

I just had 200 SNGs at 40%, then broke even for 150. thats real.
