OFFICIAL MOVING UP / HOW AM I DOING SO FAR THREAD

At the low levels, yes you can dodge them. The higher the player's ROI the more inclined to avoid him you should be.

[/ QUOTE ]But to what extent should we avoid a player? Having 5 breakevens and better at a table is nuts but getting 3 should be ok. We can't sit around forever waiting for the perfect table!

Avoiding regulars with positive ROIs is a good start. You definitely want to avoid the solid players if you can.

[/ QUOTE ]The question is more to what extent we want to avoid these players, and if we can avoid them. The best scenario would be to only play losing players but how often will this happen?

How am I doing so far? I've run 103 3.40 Turbo SNGS. So far, I've got 17 1sts, 9 2nds, 16 3rds, 9 4ths, giving me 23.36% ROI and 40.78% ITM.

Is this pretty good for this level? When should I think about moving up to $6.50?

[greggg230]

Over around 500 tournaments, I have about a 21% ROI at the 6.5s. My bankroll is at $480 now, which is 30x the BI for the 16s. Can I make the move? If not, how much more should I grind out at the 6.5s?

I 4-table the 6.5s now. Anyone have any suggestions for how many tables to start with at the 16s?

Wait until at the very least $800 and I would suggest $1000-1600 to be the safest. You can either mix in 16s with 6.50s or just move up completely when you are ready and keep the same amount of table syou currently play. Just be ready to drop back down if things don't go to well.

[greggg230]

Gross, but that sounds right; I thought $16s at my BR might be a bit much. Thanks, Kevin.

is my sample size too small? i have around 18% roi, 300 some odd games on ftp. Am i running good, or am i actually getting this sng thing?

[mnlgrind]

hoyasaxa, yes sample size is small, try at least 1000 games played, you might be running good or you're getting this sng thing... all i know is you have a small sample size, play more [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
