Variance In Turbos
What should the typical variance for Turbo SNGs look like? I'm a regular in the Stars $15+1 Turbo SNGs and it seems like I fall into 2-3 day downswings every week. Typically I'll bubble a lot, get bad beaten, repeatedly run my AQs into overpairs and AK, and AKs into overpairs, and just keep making very good second best hands.
What am I supposed to expect? I'm pretty new to the whole nothing-but-SNG thing as I'm primarily a cash player. My ROI is like 14% but only after about 220 SNGs, so it's not too accurate. Thanks. |

Work on improving your play, not ruminating about your bad beats and downswings. Those things ARE going to happen, though with 220 tourneys and no specific hands posted, it'd be nearly impossible for any of us to tell whether you're playing poorly or just running bad (or maybe neither, 14% isn't, you know, awful). Work on specific areas of your game rather than looking for self-assurance about the swings. You're an experienced poster, anyway, I'm sure you know that a) you don't have nearly enough sample data to determine even close to your "true" ROI, and b) that big swings and "mini-swings" happen all the time. Chill. Work hard. Lates. |

Re: Variance In Turbos
Nobody is ruminating, sir. I understand my sample size is too small to reflect an accurate assessment of anything important right now, which is why I made this thread. I'm asking if these swings are normal for Turbo SNGs. Mainly because I'd like to know what to expect in the future.
I've rarely experienced this trend while playing cash games, so I'm slightly concerned. If others would've replied and said, "No, this never happens to me," I'd begin posting more and more hands to nail my problem and plug the leak. Thanks for the reply. |
