I played for a living from 05-black friday but it was 6max MSNL cash. I have about 3 million hands under my belt and was a successful cash game player. Black friday really screwed me, but i'm looking to get back into an online site based in the US. A few questions i have about HU SNG turbos since i'm pretty burned out of cash games

1. Whats a standard swing in the turbos these days? $50-200 range.

2. Lets say i grinded $100s every day, what volume would i need to put in to achieve an average of +4bis a day? Assuming i was +ev in the games

Is planning for +4bis/day unreasonable in today's climate?

Thanks!

Rec player here on an american site.

I just play $5-$10 for fun. ROI 11% (including rake)

I would have to play 52 games to be up 4 buy ins on average.

Games go by fast even with Turbos, but I'm not sure how long you would have to wait to get seated at the $100's

(SleightofJam, if he is thinking of playing on the same site, there are no hyper turbos available, so the action at turbos is pretty decent)

I'll be pessimistic and assume a 5% ROI. This is what you can achieve without game selection at all; with a careful game selection you can shoot for higher at the expense of getting less action (hourly).

1) I'd say you should be planned for 25-30 BI downswings.

2) 5% ROI = 20 games to win a BI, so 4 BI would be 80 games.

This is all speculation though, and I wouldn't spend too much time on predicting my winrate or anything related to it. Just give it a try, play a few hundred games and you'll see how it goes for you. GL at the tables!

How fast does it take on average to play a turbo on Bovada?

This depends on roi and size of BI, I have done a few graphs for what to expect and here are the standard/turbo sized ones (about 5% rake).

Thanks!

If your roi is 5% on average you would need to play 100/5 = 20 games to earn 1 BI so you would need to play 80 to earn 4BI's.

I have no real idea what roi is sustainable at different buy-ins.
