(NC) Why anything but Speeds?

[KennyBanya]

Hello,

I am playing exclusively the $33 speed SNGs at Party. Is there any monetary reason to consider playing the regulars instead of the speeds at any level?

It seems like your ROI would have to be at least 30% higher to have a better hourly rate.

The only possible advantage I could think of is that it may be easier to play additional tables beacuse you have more time to act. A few more tables, a little more ROI, maybe hourly rate gets close to speeds.

I guess I just want to make sure I am not overlooking anything by just playing the speeds.

Feedback please.

Peace,

KennyBanya

well I play the regular 11s but that becuase I only have a 200 dollar account and I will go busto if i run bad(which i always do)

thats my main consideration right now...im running terribly at the speeds but seem to have had better results with the regulars...might be variance, might be psychological, but i think it might be a comfort thing with more time. honestly, stars speeds are only like 10 minutes less time than the regulars i would think...maybe 15 because bubble plays so much tighter.

Regulars kill downswings like Drain-O kills clogs.

This is likely the case for most good players. Not only do you have more time to act, but there aren't as many "sng pros/regulars" at the non speeds on any of the major sites.

Yea, but it always gets the job done in the end.

I hear you.

I actually slowed/killed a downswing doing this last week. I have become so used to playing the speeds that I hated the slow pace of the regulars and switched back after a dozen or so of them.

lol, there is always some donkey on the bubble when I play the regs (usually 200/400 blinds) pushing 16 bbs around left and right - I always assume he had a downswing at the speeds (or maybe joined by accident)... (wtf, 4 people left and the blinds are so small, what do i do!)

Not really, but it just makes them go at a slower pace. It is lower variance though.
