Merge Super Turbos

I apologize if this has been reviewed before, I have searched around and haven't found too much info...

I am debating whether or not to start grinding these and was wondering what kind of volume per month you guys devoting a lot of time to it are getting? Say at the $5 and $10 stakes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Re: Merge Super Turbos

I would agree that it is probably better to learn something else, if you are really into superturbo the mtt's that run late at night may get you your fix and they are fun, but you will regret putting in so many hours at some point or another if you start avidly grinding the 5-10's every day. If you are not a really good player you will not be able to outweigh the rake, even post-rakeback. It will probably take you at least 5k games, which will take almost a month of serious grinding before you may be able to break even with rakeback. Most people who are serious about playing these games for profit these games shoot for an ROI of between 1%-4%, and remember that you are automatically playing these games at -5% because of the rake. That means you need to make up at least 5% from your opponents to break even. And also remember at stakes like 5-10$ if you are lucky enough to get 1% ROI after some experience, that is only 5 and 10 cents per game. Meaning if you somehow were to get 10k games in per month(which would take grinding more than 5 hours each day) you'd only make something like 750 bucks for all your effort, much less than minimum wage.

No

10k games is like 85 hrs for me max, would be less if more traffic on merge


I do agree with your overall post though wrt not learning them/finding something else
