I am thinking of making Hypers HUSNG my primary game, but after running some numbers in my head, I'm strugling seeing the profitability of these in terms of getting a decent monthly income.

My current train of thought is something like this:

Number of Tables = 2
Hours a day = 5
Average Duration per game = 5 min ( this is slightly higher than what my HEM suggests, but i rather play sets so there will be some down time vs. if i play continiously. Anyway, that would mean around 24 games per hour 2-tabling)

So, this translates into:

Volume = 3,600 sngs per month (120 sngs a day).
Sustainable roi = 2.5% (i rather use something good/reasonable but realistic and achievable instead of an inflated high number)
Average stake = $15 (again trying to be realistic with myself as I'm yet not even playing this high)

Adding it all up, that would mean a meager $1,350 a month plus some $300 of rakeback equivalent more or less.

So, my questions to the successful Hyper-HUSNG grinders are the following:

How do you guys manage to make playing these games a worthwile endeavour? Being more concrete, which of my previous assumptions do you think require some adjustments based on what you are currently doing/aiming for?:

- Games per month: How many games do you try to put in per month?
- Number of Tables: Do you play more than 2 at the time? (i.e. do you think that you have to play more than 2 tables to reach a reasonable volume or can it be done just playing 1/2 tables at a time)
- Hours per day: How many hours do you guys play on average per day? (am i being too lazy planning for only 5 hours a day?)
- Sustainable ROI: should I even bother trying to play these if i feel i'm not gonna be able to get a roi sufficiently above 2.0%-2.5%
- Stakes: Is there any grinder making a decent monthly income playing at the $15 level or $30 level for that matter or inevitably this is the type of game that it is only decently profitable if played at the highest stakes ($100+)?

Hopefully this is not tldr and some of you guys making a living out of hypers husng can give me an idea of what to expect if i choose this path.
Thank you very much in advance!

U want to make a living playing avg. stake of $15? LOL.

Yeah would not trust the $ these days.

Lol, not necessarily, but I'm sure you know that in other forms of SNGs (say 18-man/45/man, etc) there are grinders making a decent amount of money playing the $15 (given higher ROIs). And take into account that not everybody live in cities where the McDonalds Index is astronomically high .
But yeah, I take from your comment that nobody grinds these for a living at stakes lower than $100+.

Anyway, I guess that the real point of my post was to get a benchmark on what are the numbers successful grinders are working with with respect to the profitability drivers I mentioned on my OP (games/month, hours/day, rois, etc, etc).

Thats $11 hourly, I am not really sure what you are expecting playing 15s.

Ive made a 'living' playing $30 reg speeds before. Its a hell of a grind. 12% roi x close to 1k games and i was around 4k after rakeback/bonuses.

The question u should also ask is: do I really want to grind out a living playing low stakes? There's a very real chance you'll burn out in 1,2, 3 yrs. (or less).

Some thoughts:
-get to the 60's single-tabling to learn how to play husng, then start multi-tabling. Of course, most don't follow this tried and true method.
-Figure out how many tables u can successfully play. If it's two, then it's fine. But it may be more. It may be LESS. U may be better of single-tabling, figure out your ROI, winrate in $/hr. for the varous sizes and find the sweet spot
-You are just starting out, I really don't think u should limit your growth by thinking like this just yet. Why not grind up to the 60's or 100's, or at least get to the 30's before thinking about husng as a career...it's too early to decide IMO

I'll tell u what the best HUSNG player in the world did (for guidance perhaps!): livb112 STARTED at the 100's. There are so many different ways to get there!

doubt u can make an hyper living from anything behind 60's

this

though if you assume you have a 2% roi when you start out, and that is not true in practice, you will spend ages convincing yourself it's just the variance that's causing you to lose.

fwiw i play staked 60s so only get 50% of my winnings and i make a fine living, so surely its possible to make a living on the 30s, though i 4 table.

I quit my job decades ago when I reached $30s... You can make a living from that level and up.

i've been grinding the $7s and i made over 10k this week.

10K playing $7....that's impressive, how may tournies did u have to play?

hes obviously trolling

if he stands 10% roi ( pretty much sick ROI for hypers ) hes making 70 cent per 7$ game. 10k/70 cent= 14.2k~ tournaments in 1 week. Heh. pretty fun u can even believe this lol

and about "a living" i meant a decent living not just "survive"

so he is not making 10K at 7$...hard to believe

lost about 15k tonight. not trolling. i didn't make it and lose it playing the 7s. but i really was grinding the 7s a week ago.

Maybe he is just on a 1500 game winning streak.
