Knock on wood i haven't had a losing month yet.
Good Job!
That's kinda what I'm aiming for starting off. I just want to prove to myself that I can be a consistently winning player even if the $ is not much.
My nativity has become glaringly apparent like I win a few $5's and I'm like hey this is easy I'll just bump up to $10 and I'll make twice as much money..
All of a sudden my bankroll is dwindling ha!

U can define your own risk aversion and calc stuff like "I need to have an EV of X over Y games to be 90% secure i beat these games for >=Z % ROI" , or w/e u exactly want to calc.
Define "beating" a certain game type. Is this making more than zero dollar expected for the fun and brag? More than what the average reg does? More than reaching the hourly of flipping burgers or w/e alternative side job? Not losing if the games were rakefree, cause that means u're at least better than 50% of field?
I'm gonna define beating a game as having an ROI of at least 10% over at least 1000 games.
And yes I just plucked those numbers out of the sky and have absolutely no reasoning to back them up.
I'm new to all this, can you tell?
I don't think I understand ICM, I need to read into it more.
Like I know what it is but I have no idea how to apply it in a practical way to my game, particularly SNG's.
And the $EV stat in Holdem Manager makes no sense to me.
