Is there a huge difference between 5 and 10 STT?
This is my graph so far. I started out with -3% ROI for $2 playing 4 tables at once, and then moved up and had a 26% ROI for $5 playing 2 tables at once. I then move up to $10 and have a huge drop, playing 2 tables at once. The thing is, with a different username about 2 months ago, I had a decent ROI at $2 4-tabling, then moved up to $5 and faced a similar drop.
Here's my current graph: I started playing $5 around game 50, and the huge drop is when I moved up to $10. I know I could be facing a cold streak, but man...didn't think it would be this bad. I did suffer some dirty beats though... |

It's probably just psychological. I can't tell any difference.

You need to play hundreds of these games for statistics to have any real meaning. Keep looking at your graph after every few games will do your brain in. Expect a lot more variance than you have had so far.

On top, bankroll management is quite important. You should have at around 50 buy-ins to move up to the next level, i.e. for $5.50 you need a bankroll of $275 to be safe.

You are posting your results after playing 6 tournaments? That's not close to enough to tell much from the results alone.
After n single table tournaments, the standard deviation of your ROI is roughly 170%/squareroot(n). A rough 95% confidence interval (quite rough after only 6 tournaments) is about your observed results +- 2 standard deviation. After 6 tournaments with a ROI of -60%, your confidence interval ranges from -200% to +80%. Your description of your win rates at the other stakes was also unwarranted given the sample sizes. When you said your ROI was 26%, that should have been 26% +- 54%. It can take hundreds of tournaments to determine whether you are beating a level, and thousands or tens of thousands to estimate your ROI accurately. $10 SNGs are slightly tougher than $5 SNGs. There are fewer hopeless players, and a slightly higher concentration of half-decent players. However, you never established that you were beating $5 SNGs, and it is quite possible that you are a losing player at both levels. |
