I'm sorry if what I'm saying makes your heads explode, but that has nothing to do with the best way to express my thoughts on this subject, unless you show me otherwise.

Please show me why it wasn't, in order to make the same points.

 Let 'Danielh is a moron' = nature of one's edge: 

Anyone who believes the above statement is true (with regard to the difference between the top current $215 playes and the top known poker players in the world), does not understand that Danielh is a moron, or could have, in an SNG structure. And I suspect that he/she probably does not understand that Danielh is a moron at large, since IMO, not understanding that Danielh is a moron in one poker format (after playing and/or thinking/reading about it enough), is not understanding that Danielh is a moron at all.

I hope this stops everyone's head from exploding.

I think you could have made your point in a more concise fashion.
Also, if you have long sentences like that following each other, paragraphs can help.
Just easier to read and understand quickly, that's all.
FWIW, I agree with you.

actually, i'm thinking why did you need to respond in the way you did? this is a poker discussion, no need to get juvenile.

I think this is now the second funniest thread I've ever read on 2+2.

DanielH is a moron. Good stuff.

Does working for the advertising industry have anything to do with your ability to present things in their most blatant form?

You could be right, of course, but sometimes I prefer being less concise than possible, for a few reasons. Being clear and concise is sometimes overrated, IMO.

Another thing is that English isn't my best language, so there's another reason for being hazy at times. I usually like using paragraphs, though, as you have suggeseted. They are very nice, but I didn't think it was really necessary there...

Hi PM

Long time, FWIW 99.9% of people who have English as a first language speak it worse than you, and you are right being concise is just another way of saying half-baked. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

These numbers are only using a 400 sng sample size. Pretty small, because depending on my day, when I add another 30 sngs to it, it usually changes by 1-2%, 2-4% when it was 200 deep.

I only played the $200 sngs because I was on break from college (from dec. 11-jan. 10), and actually had time to do them, now since Im back for my spring semester, Ill leave them free to zjustin and the others to have fun with.

But like dailman says, I think 25% is the max roi%, 20% being realistic for about the max roi % one can pull out at the 200 sngs for around 5000 sngs. I was fortunate enough to have only one lil' bad run in my 400 sngs which lasted about 60-75 games but was quite frustrating. Ended 400 sngs with a mid 30s roi %. But soo many 200 sngs in one day can get you burnt out, and I think my real passion is in multi tables.

2. A very, very good player should be able to beat $200+15's for at least 30% ROI, probably closer to 40.

Good question. It's definitely not my Continental Philosophy background, [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

Maybe it's because I look like someone who looks like David Schwimmer!
