My first 500 games as a pro

[FieryJustice]

Well, I have played 488 games since quitting my job and I figured i'd post the results to see if you all have any comments or suggestions..PH yeah, these are for $215 sngs, 4 tabling them.So, here they are:
1 71
2 59
3 52
OTM 305

ROI 21%
ITM 37%

Considering I havent really kept up with any results until these first 488 games, I really dont know if 21% roi is good...so is it? Also, It kinda bothers me that I had so many seconds, although I am happy that I had 14.5% firsts. I am also glad that I made 2196 from rakeback. That alone is equal to 1 month and a half of my old $10 an hour job. It took me about 90 hours to play the 488 games. I am waiting on a new videocard so I can start 8 tabling them. Hopefully it all works out. LMK what you tihnk of the resluts. See you at the tables.

People might not know what level you are playing at. That could be pertinent information. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Looks like you're doing great though. Keep it up.

where did you get the rakeback? i usually play party poker. am a recent college grad and also play for some money. i was also wondering what stakes and how many tables you play.

the numbers sound about right, thought i'm talled they're can be plenty of swings in that range.

At what limit? I could do the rakeback math, but im playing...

Not bad though, IMHO

fiery justice is playing the 215s right now, and seems to be crushing them. 500 is a decent sample size, and 20+% roi some would say is unsustainable. the first to second ratio is GREAT, and you definitely dont need to fret about that. anyways, good luck with the continuation of your sngs, but dont get discouraged if future results arent quite as good as the first 500 u did. holla

Rakeback started at 25% but went to 30% once I gave $5K to the rake per 4 weeks. You can PM me if you want to know where it is at, if it that is aloud. I would hate to get banned again. I hope 20% is sustainable...if not I will be sad after the next 500 when I have like 10% or 0%. Also, I just wanted to point out that since the new steps came along, the $215's have been much more soft. They are usually 3 handed now around level 5 or 6, at least from the 50 or so I have played since the new steps started. I considered playing the step 5 minis, but all good people play them. For now, I will stick with the $215s and hope they keep producing. Thanks for the comments.

You'd be sad with 10% ROI 4-tabling $215s? That's what... $150/hr? That'd make me pretty happy.

[vinyard]

That's awesome. I am not sure how this works but is your 21% ROI with or without rakeback. Either way its very, very impressive.

[raptor517]

10% roi 4 tabling is very doable. 8 tabling would be quite difficult though. my goal is 10% 12 tabling. i havent really played enough 215s yet, and im pretty sure i couldnt do that now, but again, its a goal. keep grindin it out cardshark, ill holla

I don't get this at all.

Well what about the $22,000 you've won from playing? $4,000 a day profit and you wonder if it's sustainable?

Your "Should I quit my job" post was made on 4/20. 90 hours in 5 days?


Just seems like your story has too many holes in it to be believable.
