Sng Grinder Thread


Recommended Posts

Hopefully playing only $36 180s and $60 90s this year barring prop bets.What's the max acheivable ROI in various formats (I'm assuming turbo unless statedeg9 man 9 man super turbo18 man45 man180 man180 man non turboFor 180 non turbo you can get up towards 90% I believe, a decent grinder will manage 60%For 180 turbos, most decent grinders get somewhere between 15 and 30% and the really goood ones push up past 40%.It takes a huge sample size to realise your true ROI in these though.I've no idea about the others. I guess the answer is a function of the buy in too.
45 turbos is around 15%, Frenzuh is 17% as is Clemson_Pimp

I suppose since everyone is posting this...I'm backed for $6.50 and $12 45 person SNGs on Stars, up to 21 tabling usually, and may be extending to $7.70 and $12 180s as well as $6.50 and $16 18s, possibly 90 man KOs on FTP soon, and may add $27 45s as well. January will decide a lot of this.
I would like you to explain this to me. PM me. How does this work? PS, sick downswing the other day.

You should really give the super turbos a try on ftp. They are ridiculously swingy but I think 5-10% roi is definitely achievable. With rakeback and the amount of these you can get in in a short period of time, they can be quite profitable. They are 100% shove/fold and with a good understanding of icm, they may suit you quite well. Hit me up if you want to sweat a few sessions.

Shove or fold. Though I would probably shove. I think he is definitely coming with you on the shove. Race

@Acekob 88's hand: do you have a read on villain?Also, can someone comment on my A6 hand on page 4, it's post 75.
Chet, you didn't ask a question, but I'm assuming that you would like opinions on whether it was correct to shove or not at that point.Yes, IMO. Your M is 4, you have an ace, it's folded around to you, @ the CO. Plus there is not much diff in the money between 4th and 6th so you need these blinds and if someone calls, unless he has an Ace, you are at worst like what 40%.

Explain what?Yeah I know that was some of the worst runbad I've ever looked at over those 16 SNGs. I should be putting in about 150 between tonight and tomorrow.

FTP refuses to answer my emails I've been trying to clear up a situation from long ago with an old roommate (he MAd and I was linked) since late November and have gotten nowhere. I may sweat sometime but only if my FTP account opens.

Any thoughts on this move?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 3.4 Tournament, 50/100 Blinds (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comCO (t3020)Button (t1265)Hero (SB) (t1295)BB (t1525)UTG (t2130)UTG+1 (t1800)MP1 (t2505)MP2 (t1460)Hero's M: 8.63Preflop: Hero is SB with 6diamond.gif, 6club.gif5 folds, Button bets t300, Hero raises to t1295 (All-In)No info on villain, and without a HUD that usually suggests he's been on the tighter side, staying out of trouble. He's in prime stealing position and the chips would be a welcome addition to my stack. I'm most likely behind his calling range here, but do I have enough fold equity to make this worthwhile?

could be a steal, but I'd be more inclined for a stop and go here instead of a pf shove.

Variance in turbo 45s is ugly.I'm confident that I'll crush, not worried about a sluggish start of runbad.EDIT: I forget where it is but msusyr24 has a post where he's crushed for over 100k this past year and his variance over 3k games had a bottom possibility of variance range of -2k?EDIT 2: Found it. http://msusweetness.blogspot.com/2009/12/c...radicecity.html

read the posts at the bottom of that blog. The simulation he ran isnt really useful when trying to come up with a variance number for these sng's because like that person pointed out, your past results will never influence any future results. my concern for you comes from looking at your ROI. if that doesnt change in your next 50 games, i'd give up the sng;s

I've gone back and forth on the stop-n-go move and I ended up deciding it's pretty much pointless. I remember a lengthy discussion about it here some time ago (like more than a year maybe, back when Copernicus used to post). I'll see if I can dig it up.

47 games is a ridiculously small sample size. These swings are 100% normal in 45man. I'm sure he can post a 200% roi stretch of 47 games too. Nature of the beast.

how long generally are your sessions? Do you stop at a fixed time or do you just feel it out?

small, but still concerning. I'm a firm believer that running bad can be minimized
