But I enjoy getting washed, talking to real people without having to guess the tone of their typing, before I come home, slob down, crack open a beer, put on my fowl mood face and only THEN accept being humiliated by said stupid game [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I just wanted to let you know what is possible. I beat the 55s for 12% over a 2200 sample earlier in the year. Thanks to a vegas trip and poor game selection at nl ring, I am rebuilding at the 22s currently. Just wanted to let you know that currently after 225 22s, Im break even.

Have a nice day.

Makes me not feel so bad about my 3% ROI over 234 $16 turbos a few months back.

Don't worry dude, you'll get back there, I have faith.

I was a 11.1% ROI over my first 1K $55's this year. This month I have played 251 and lost $455 for a negative ROI of 3.30. I think my problem is that I play bad though.

Based on those numbers I'd say there's a good chance you're a winning player at that level which doesn't make you a bad player at all. Everyone can improve though.

Why? Haven't you seen enough of them to be immune by now?

Beef-
Have you ever posted an "I'm running good" post?

P.S.
Have I mentioned that I have had one losing week since moving to the $55s?

I beat the 55s for 12%

No offense, but I don't consider a 12% SNG ROI to be "beating" anything. Randomly, you should be ITM 30% of the time. To my mind, the threshhold of "beating" them is a 50% increase over the average, or 45% ITM. At 45% ITM spread evenly over the 3 payout spots (assuming a 10-handed table), your ROI should be 36%.

So the only one beating the game is Stanzee? Wow! Klingon math can be so enlightening.
