(NLTRN) heads up roi

dippy111 · #1 03-21-2007, 09:16 PM

I like playing heads up tournaments and so far I've been fairly succesful at it. But here's the thing: no matter how good you get at them you can't break 100 ROI(less counting fees) whereas in other sit'n'gos a good player can surpass that by a fair amount. What are your guys' thoughts on the profitability of HUTRNs. Are we just trading profit for the lower variance and fun of HU, or am I missing something?

I can play 7.5 matches per hour single tabling and with a 15% ROI can make a killer hourly on a short roll, thus the appeal.

is this standard (7.5 matches per hour, single tabling)?
at what level and at what site?
that works out to 8 minutes a pop. certainly some are over in 1 minute, but it seems like a ton more last a lot longer than 8 minutes.

I'd like to know what kind of games you play where you expect to make 100% ROI

that's just the mathematical limit with no fees. Of course nobody actually makes that. But compared to the 130+ ROI that some people achieve in other sit'n'gos, HU is limited in it's potential. Although the speed of the games makes them makes them better I guess

You be talking about 45 man SNG's or some [censored], we make way more $ than them.

This is pretty interesting since I have just started playing HU SnGs...After 121 $33+1.5s at Full Tilt I have a ROI at 11%.

I know that samplesize probably is way to small but I would really like to know what's sustainable...

Ive played about 250 33s at 17% ROI although thats not conclusive by any means. Higher is definitely possible I did not play my A game throughout.

Far more important than ROI is winrate. If you have a 50% ROI in a 45 player Sng and a 10% ROI in HU, you making way more in HU because you've played about 8 matches in the time it's taken you to play one 45 SnG
