Finally! Out of a one month 22 buy-in downswing

Suicide watch officially over.

Oh wait N/M, these are $6 Turbo donkaments.

If you moved up to $11's or $22's you would have gotten out sooner. Why are you only playing $6.50's? Turbo's no less? That seems like a lot of work and frustration to make very little $.

professor,
if you aren't running at like 25%-30% or so ROI at this level you likely have some glaring leaks that need to be corrected.

[professor76]

Thanks for all for your replies. As for why I have not moved up, well I've used most of my profits in poker to pay for daily expenses: mobile phone bills, internet bills, credit card bills, etc. Now attempting to build a serious bankroll so I can move up to $11+$1 turbos next.

Playing turbos is a personal choice, feel it's more $/hr though much more variance and luck in short run

durkahdurkah, I'm 4-tabling, sometimes 5-tabling. So I should be getting 25-30% ROI long term at these low level SNGs? Does everyone else agree, that 10-15% is way too low for a low buy-ins SNG multi-tabler?

I'm 25% ROI over nearly 400 games in the PLO8 turbos (mainly $3, since $6 don't run that much) I've been playing since I grew sick of LO8 cash games. I've had a streak of 18 out of the $$$ over this period, and swung down over 22 buy ins. PLO8 turbos with retarded people is quite possibly the highest variance type of poker around, though.

4-tabling you should still be able to eek out 20-25% at least, and I don't think 30% is at all a pipe dream. that is, unless SNGs have gotten significantly harder in the time since I last focused on them, but at the $6.50 level, I highly doubt this is the case. Your ROI goes even higher if you play regs, but as you said, your $/hr may suffer.

This may be a question better posed in STTF, as I somehow doubt BBV is the best place to be looking for (serious) answers.

And consider playing some at Stars when you move up. The 15+1's have a superior rake structure and are still full of retards.

why play the turbos are you just hoping to go on a luckbox streak?

The general consensus is that for a good SNG player, your ROI may not be quite as high at the Turbos, but the increased volume because of the quicker games makes you more money (per hour or whatever).
