Default Stars $22/180 players

Those of you who play a lot of the "Stars $22/180 players"
tournaments, would you mind sharing some results with me?

I have played 107 of these this year and show a ROI of 91%, but this is only with 3 wins. On the one hand I feel good about getting some cashes, but I feel like I should FT and win more.

How have others faired?

Thanks

I think your results are very good but your sample size is not large enough.

Since mid-april I've got 124 180s with a ROI of 149 %. I'm guessing the ROI will stabilize 120-130 % when I reach 500+ tournaments. I've got four wins during this period.

EDIT: ITM is 18.5 % and FT is 12.9 %.

I have played 2 and lost both to flopped set over set. I was always weary of playing them but if your results are real they seem like a gold mine.

I've played about 130, and my ROI is about -33%. I've finished 2nd twice, and 19-24 like 10 times(no joke).

I still can't decide if I'm running bad or if I'm just horrible.

Thanks, this is where I need to improve is getting to the FT. Obviously if I do that it means more cashes.
Not real sure anyone can sustain an ROI of 125% though. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

BB first hand with jacks. UTG call, UTG +1 raise 3X bb, folded to me, I call. Flop 10 Q 3, I check, check, bet 1/5 bot looks like AK so I check raise. UTG fold, UTG 1 calls. Turn Q, I bet half the pot. River makes runner runner flush, I check call a min bet. He shows aces. I run bad at these things. Down to 860 on the first hand.

Busto. Out in 167. I made an all in overcall in a 3 way pot with the second nut flush draw and gut shot str8. One guy had TPTK and the other had third nut flush draw. We both missed and TPTK wins. NO LUCK in 20's.
