He was at the 11s a couple weeks ago. 8 tabling or probably 12 tabling them.

Attribute it variance, sample size, self-fulfilling prophesies, or whatever, but I can easily beat the 22s and just can't seem to improve beyond breaking even at the 33s.

What he said. Itm 40%+ in the 22s and 35%~ in the 33s.

I havent played many 33s but sometimes it seems like a regular 22 (or 11 even) and sometimes its awfully tight.I might just build enough roll for 55s in the 22s and leave the 33s for the 12-tablers.

FWIW, I started to go this route as well, but one of the experienced SnG'ers here talked me out of it. His attititude was that if you can't beat the 33s, you won't be able to beat the limits beyond the 55s.

So, if you're happy with the 55s forever, go for it -- otherwise, you probably should figure out how to beat the 33s (and let me know how once you do [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]).

33s kicked my ass so far also. I don't give up that easily though.

He's probably doing some wacko Curtains thingy where he is learning to play more tables and has a formula of how much bankroll he needs to move up.

OR

He has been going HU with Giga (who spots him 20%) and keeps busting. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

dfscott,

are you suggesting that:

-it's feasible to be beating the $55s but not the $30s (for some reason?)
-but if beating the $55s in this case, it'd be very doubtful that one would also be beating the $100s/$200s

i dunno, i never played them until a couple of weeks ago. but, i have seen more than enough monkeys at the level to know for certain that i can beat them.

edit: and even though i have only about 50 of them, i have definately pulled some profit out
