I was reviewing my stats and I realize I make a chip profit at every level except I'm losing chips at the 75/150 blind level. Is there any explanation for this?

Also, which program is better for a beginner to purchase, holdem genius or poker tracker?

I think to make any inferences on this you need to have a significant sample size.

Tbh I've never heard of holdem genius, but it seems like the majority favors holdem manager over poker tracker 3.

question, why the hell does absolute pokers multi table SNG's suck? I cant get a damn game man.

I'm certain this has been asked before(I wouldn't know what to search, though. Yes, I read the FAQ), but how many SnGs at a certain level is ideal to get an understanding of your "true" ROI?

Or:

100 games: ~23%
300 games: ~40%
1000 games: ~66%
2000 games: ~82%

This is how accurate your ROI after those intervalls.

@ready 2 win
This is too generalized imo. The higher the stake is the more games you need to know your true ROI.

A few posts ago i said you just need 300-500 games at the lowest stakes to know your true ROI. But i guess you need at least 10 times those number of games at 50$ sngs and higher. The better the competition, the lower your ROI and finally the longer you need to know your true ROI.

@Mook Is Broke
Play at good poker-sites like stars and Full Tilt. I played on AP/UB as well and the traffic is ****, also i'm not sure how rigged that site still is. You won't get around stars and tilt if you like money,

I think it is true that you need around 2-3k (or even 5k) games to know your "true ROI" but when you are over the 2k games mark the % are not getting a lot more up (liek they do from 100 to 300 for example).

150/300 +30
utg 1.49k
hj 3k
co 3k
bt 3k
hero 1.51k
bb 3k

Assume utg shoves without looking at his cards. BB is tight (7.6% default).
SngWiz says call 88 AKs with zero edge.

My question is do you call with your best estimate of exactly what WIZ will say or do you vary for any reason?

I am not sure if this hand is even worth posting, I feel like I did the right thing, and just got sucked out on, but wanted to make sure that I wasn't wrong in my play. Any feedback would really be appreciated.

This is more a suggestion than a question, so I decided to post it here for the high powers of STT forum to consider.

In the HSMTT forum there is a very helpful section of PokerXFactor videos. Now Bond18 has incorporated to the mod team of SSMTT and he is proposing to upload 2+2ers HHs in order to review them. I think this is gonna be just great. Here it is:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/23...-threads-7367/

I know there is a video section in the stickies of STT forum but links are somehow old and not everyone has access to megaupload.

So, I wonder if there is some member here at STT, mod, whatever, who has a PXF account and would be willing to do the same for STT HHs. Maybe 2 or 3 a week, dunno.

I think this would be great for beginners and medium STT players.

Thoughts?

hey this is my first post im new to 2 plus 2, i guess my question is ive made it to step 4 on pokerstars and could use it to any $215 entry to there tourments im stuck between entering in the sunday million or. continue to go on to hopefully get to step 6 and if you get 1st you choose between LAPT in brazil or PCA what would you guys do in my postions thoughts please?

The general consensus seems to be that the $215 is more +EV. I've never been in that spot before tho, so....

Step 4's tend to be softer than the 5's and 6's as alot of guys like yourself tend to jump ship and play the million. Playing the million will probably be more +EV for yourself than it would be to attempt to bink the 5 and 6. Additionally you'd need to consider your equity in an LAPT or PCA event if you even make it that far.

What's the best way to get a pay as you go internet card/usb? my connection seems to be kinda iffy sometimes and would like some kind of backup connection. I have at&t cell phone if that matters.

What is your expected roi in $6,50s these days? I don't use color code on my notes much, but I just mark everyone that multitable 10+ sng's red. that means they know all the basic sng strategy stuff. And then I use purple for the players I know is really good. Nobody tableselect at the $6 level accept me it seems like, and that obv make it very hard for me.

last week I played 700 sng's. and I don't think I ever played in one with less then 3 other people marked red. Most of these players got an roi between 0 and 4%. Some sng's that I did unregister from after I had register for them ended up with 6-7 people marked red or purple, some as many as 8 that I saw.

It's not that these players are that great, but there are sooo many of them at the $6 level. Players who beat the $3 level but are not able to move to the $16 level, so they are all stuck at the $6 level. so what is your expected roi with on average 5 break even players at a table?

I could see 10% being doable if you are really good and not playing too many tables. 8% would be my guess for the top someone can get who's playing 24+ tables. Unless you have someone sicko who wont move up to the 16s for some reason.

I'm guessing like 4% if you're playing with a bunch of bad/meh regulars, up to 10 seems doable.

I play the 6.50s regularly and I rarely see more than 3 regs registered. maybe it is the hours you are playing? Obviously a small sample but I have a 14% roi over my last 1200. I think a >10% roi is definately possible.

When I am playing sng knockout in PS,how can I see in HEM how many bounty's I have pick up?, or more important if I am + or - in bounty's? or maybe I can see that in sharkscope or somewhere elsewhere?

Hi, cash game player here who plays anywhere from 12-24 tables (a lot of 24 tabling lately).

I was thinking about how many sng's per hour most sng players play? I was going to try and make between $5-$10 playing $5 sng's but I wasn't sure how many an hour would be attainable. I know I wouldn't be able to handle 24 tables since the games get short handed etc, but say if I played 10 at a time (always opening a new one when I bust out or win) how many sng's would this get me an hour?

According to my calculations of what a decent roi is I guess to make $5-$10/hour at the $5 level I would have to play around 15 sng's/hour, how hard is that?

Average duration of turbo sng is 35-40mins, so 10tabling you would play around 15sng's/hour.If you play regular speed sngs I doubt if you could play 15games/hour with 10 tables, however playing more than 10 isn't that hard.

I'm trying to ascertain my opponents hand ranges in various spots. I have around 1,500 games in HEM, but it doesn't seem like my sample size is large enough for any individual regular, and even creating an alias to thetop 20 regs, which is about 34k hands, doesn't give me much data. For example. Trying to get a hand distribution on hands the push from the button with 8-10BBs produces a very small group of hands, since usually they don't go to showdown.

I'm really trying to use my HEM db to give me real world insight to player ranges instead of using SNG Wiz defaults and guesswork. Has anyone done a thread on how to do this?
