Default Re: U guys doing good at the party 55\'s?

[ QUOTE ]
I won in over 1500 22's and 850 33's, Now I ahve started the 55's first 80 at -4% ROI. I think I have just started off with a bad run of cards as people ahve tried giving me money on many occasions only to have the deck bail them out. After how many losing SnG's should I start to think that maybe I am not capapble of beating the 55's. I ahve played 2,000 total snG's in my career and i guess I could have been getting, lucky in them.

lay off the PVS crap, especially when you are running bad.

I've played more than 500 55s so far this month (I know [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]). Anyway, doing decent so far, something like 16% ROI. Feel free to PM me if you want me to check if I got notes on you /noticed anything about your play.

That makes me feel better, knowing that in 2 days i could possibly turn this around.

And I am aware that 80 is nothing but it sure does suck to go on a downstreak anytime you move up with a roll around 40 buyins. I was just venting.

That isn't a downstreak, its a breakeven streak.

You're down 3 freakin buyins, I lose that many every set I play.

I'm doing just fine. The games are nice and soft like they should be. If you beat the 33's for a decent ROI, you'll beat these. Maybe you'll need some adjusting and/or you've just had a bad streak.

80 is nothing and -4% ROI is a breakeven streak not a losing streak as someone already pointed out. I remember Raptor writing about a 1000 breakeven streak, course he plays a bajillion tables at once so that was probably only a couple of days, still 80 is nothing. That's right, NOTHING.

You say you've had bad luck, if that's the case you have nothing to worry about so don't fret. If it helps you can always try splitting your play between 33s and 55s.

There may be an adjustment period from playing with 800 chips to 1000 chips.

Hope this helps.

I understand that I am under-rolled, but I planned on dropping back down to the 33's, which i have done. Would you say that 75 buyins is a good bankroll to start with?

I hate that feeling. After 80 breakeven and 2000 profitable it's more likely that the 80 breakeven isn't the norm.
