Default Re: How many SNGs to Play Daily?

Thanks for pointing this out. Just got back into heavy SNG action this past month. I must be running pretty good as I only play in the evening and always thought the only ones who make these lists play 100 a day as you say. On Empire, I'm currently 85th for the month.

eMarkM, thought you were an MTT junky. Didn't know you slummed in STTs. Nice to see your name around here.

Default I\'m back to STT

No, I'm back to playing STT almost exclusively. I've played about 250 55s this month (40 ITM/20 ROI). I've been trying to catch up with all the theory this forum has produced over the last year as I haven't been here much. Seeing it all, I would say no forum has contributed more original stuff to poker theory than this one.

That, and I'm just sick to death of the bubble suckouts in MTT. It's much easier on my nerves to bubble 4th in a STT on some sick beat than it is to slug for four hours and then lose to a 2 outer in a MTT. I still play MTT, but if I have four tables open, it's usually 1 MTT to 3 STT. Of course, I always play KotZ (shameless plug: PLO tonight!).

TRDI,

The best advice I can give you is to get out of the 5s now. Move up to the 10s and reduce the rake from 20% to 10 %. The games would have to be much much worse to overcome paying what is esentially double rake.

I would be shocked if your ROI went down. I am close to certain your hourly rate will increase. With only $220 you can survive a 20 buyin downswing at the 10s.

He plays the 5.5's on what I would guess is Pokerstars. So there's no rake reduction moving up.

Gisborne,

How do we know he means Pokerstars? Certainly Raptor and others referred to Empire/Party when responding to this guys's posts.

Regardless, if he is playing the 5s on Party/skins move to 10s now. If on Pokerstars, keep plugging away and good luck on your journey to "pro" status.

I am comfortable at the moment just no more than 3 hours a day which is close to 20 tourn (four tabling). Guess with the family life and full time job all I can squeeze out if that.

He said he's playing the 5.5s. Doesn't matter where.
