Default Re: Week-long prop bet

When I was broke I played a lot of the $10, $20, and $30 Regular Speed SNGs

At the $10s, playing 10 at a time, even with some rust, 25% ROI is attainable and after I got good at them I was crushing at like 33% over a few hundred.

at 1.5 hrs per set, 25% roi is $16.67/hr

In my brief experience and limited sample, $15 Horse turbos are just incredibly easy. This appears to be for two reasons:

1. No one can play Horse.
2. No one understands how a limit structure affects STT strategy.

Been a while since I felt this much pressure playing for $20; I'm heads-up in a (non-turbo) 45-man SNG.

Yikes. Good thing I'm running well generally at the moment (after a hilarious $15 downswing at $.05/$.10 NL).

--Nate

UPDATE: 2nd. No complaints.

***END OF DAY 4 UPDATE***

Account balance: $184.37

Good results today, but maaaaaan, I almost blew it wide open. I was in the money in a Razz tournament, and bigstacked in several multitable $5 SNGs, but blew out in all but one. Fatigue, maybe?

Summary:

Tournaments -- Slightly down.
Micro-stakes NLHE -- Significantly down.
Heads-up SNGs -- 13-2 in the morning, something like 13-4 overall. Yesssss.
Single-table SNGs -- Up a little, maybe? Maybe more?
Multitable SNGs -- Up significantly.

Chat of the day comes from an obeserver of one of my $6.50 HU SNGs. Note that this guy is just a random dude who hadn't played against me or anything.

Nate - are you going to add any x/180's to your rotation? Or stick with the smaller SnG's?
