Are these more profitable than the 4/180's?

They may very well be more profitable tho I doubt it. They run at a much slower frequencey than the 4/180s

2.20 tourney sat (not sng) to sunday 100k. Runs :25 and :55 on the hour. Take T$ and repeat.

1.20/18 sit and go.

Low Risk = Low REWARD

It's a slow grind, but with 50 and no reload option that's your only choice.

you pretty much need to take a shot with 150.
you don't really have enough buy ins for the 6.50s but if you run semi goot, who knows.

EDIT: and by shot I mean play the 6.50s.

This is absurd. I started with 50 dollars and practiced fine bankroll management and have been incredibly successful and improved my game throughout.

People taking risks on 6.50s are why I destroy people who aren't ready for them.

JOHANSON YO · #17 10-23-2007, 09:34 PM

you started with 50 dollars playing what?

JOHANSON YO · #18 10-23-2007, 09:37 PM

If you played anything higher than .50 cent tournaments and claim to practice good bankroll management than you are an idiot.

MJBuddy · #19 10-23-2007, 09:44 PM

Oh, sure, I'm an idiot. Let's go ahead and poll the general consensus of this forum about my management and my play and claim I'm an idiot.

OR you can learn a small bit of Kelly Criterion and variance sizes and realize you don't need 100BIs for a 45man SNG.

Jackass.

In regards to bankroll management, no one who plays MTTs can realistically attempt to identify their ROI/winrate/Std. Dev over anything other than a MASSIVE sample size.

The guidelines in the sticky are solid, and will prevent you from going busto - so if you are new, sticking to them will be fine.

As with every single one of these threads, it depends on the player. Some people are good enough to play SNGs with 15 buy-ins and take 8 buy-in downswings and be OK. Others need 100 buy-ins.
