That mr on the flop is usually pretty nutty from an unknown. I'm calling with a double gutter though. I think fold turn here.

Next time cut out everything after BB Bets 225 as the fact villain barrels the river is going to skew the results. I tried to not let it affect my thinking, but who knows...

Dont be afraid to go all in Vepsard. When your opponent thinks you are a weakling then you must act strong.

[VelizarJJ]

Yup.. In poker the most important things are the balls ;d If you doon't have any and you are afraid to risk all if u believe that you will win just stop playing poker

[Benjamin the Donk]

Sure. No guts, no glory.

Just jam over every check-minraise at the micro stakes and let me know how it turns out

You judge me for the line I do not suggest, you judge me for your heart is callous. You hear, but you do not listen.

I didn't even claim going all-in is best, just to not be afraid. All I ask is for awareness. To not consider going all in is to stab yourself in the eye.

48 * 30 = 1440$ winnings
800 * 0.63 = 504$ rake paid
net winnings = 1440-504 = 936$

936 / 800 = 1,17$ won per one tourney
1,17 / 30 * 100= 3,9 % ev roi

thanks a lot for this

i suppose it's impossible to measure across multiple buyin levels? oh actually, suppose you could just work each one out individually and then find the mean?

[none888]

you can do it for every stake you want, if you play like two stakes and want for both than you need calculate avarage buy in and avaraga rake.

i was thinking about this a bit more, shouldn't the bolded bit be 48 x 29.37 (i.e. minus the rake) because if we win 500 chips we only win opponents stake - rake?

[none888]

yeah, I forgot that opponent also is paying rake

It's easier just to take the difference between the yellow and green line instead of the difference between the zero and yellow line

[singu]

I was wondering what is the bankroll thats needed for me to play 5$ SNGs? I curently have 60 and playing 2$. If someone can help me, please. Thanks

[Benjamin the Donk]

That depends, reg speeds, turbos or hypers?
As a conservative guide you probably want about 100 BI for hypers, maybe 40-60 for turbos/reg speeds. It really depends on your winrate though, higher winrate = lower variance. It also depends on how easy it is for you to reload if you run out of money. Only you can answer that.
But generally, if you are new and not sure if you can beat the games I would stay on the conservative side until you improve.

What's the best advice for someone looking to go from 1 table play to 2 table play at hypers? I am going to to play a lower level than usual but wanted to know any tips you might have to help ease in the extra thinking needed etc

Remember to take your time with each decision. You're not in a hurry. Also play shorter session because your brain is not used to that kind of focus yet. I'd recommend playing 20-25 minute sessions and adding 5 minutes every week.
