This is probably a dumb question, but why play $22s at all? Good players can do 20-25% ROI at the $22s, and 40%ish at the $11s, wouldn't the $11s be just as profitable but require much less bankroll?

I don't want to see your nuts.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned the following, but:

You should be able to play about 1.3 tournaments per hour--not one.

And you can't play 100 hands/hour in a typical ring game. More like 65-70. That seriously messes up your calculations.

Yes, lorinda already informed me of this. Thank you for mentioning it again.

Long term, I don't really think an ROI in the 40s is sustainable even at the 11s.

It is.

I may have led people into believing it is easy, it isn't.

Honestly, I would like to see someone provide some of their results. Are you talking about single tabling? I assume not, because I can't think of a reason why any good player would single table the 11s for extended periods of time. If there's a player out there who does 40% ROI 4+ tabling the 11s for a significant sample size, I'd be very surprised. I've read these claims before, but I've never seen anyone provide the statistics. And I'm not just defending my measly 29%, I'm really curious about who these gods of poker are.

Edit: I should add, I think it is very possible during some times of the day/week to crush the game for 35%+. Waiting until Friday night to play isn't practical though, and isn't really useful to the discussion of hourly rate. The games during other times of the week are not what they used to be; they don't always just beat themselves anymore.

It doesn't make any sense to multitable the $11's at 40%. If somebody could really do that, they could have a bankroll for the $22's in like three days, and they could certainly beat that game too.

I believe it is possible at certain sites, but not party. I can show you a spreadsheet with 34% @ 11s over amost 2 years at pokerrrom. Sample size >10k games.
And im not the best player in these parts by far. I believe those who could hit >40% would not be playing the 11s though.
But just wanted to throw my vote in taht it IS possible, i believe, although only in a 1500 game.

Whether or not it makes sense is irrelevant (although it still makes plenty more sense than single tabling the 11s at any ROI). Plenty of people seem to fervently attest that it's possible. My question is simply: has anyone ever done it? Or is it all conjecture?
