US Sites vs Non US Sites US Sites vs Non US Sites

04-14-2014 , 01:42 AM
I want to try and keep this to a simple question, so in short, how much more profitable are the games outside of the US compared to US sites?

More specifically, I play the 6man 10bb hypers on merge and am interested in knowing how much (if at all) my ROI would increase if I were able to leave the country. I would prefer to stick with hypers and realize I would most likely need to learn 25bb. Another factor is that I make a large percentage of my earnings off of their leaderboard which is been equivalent to over 100% rakeback when factoring in that along with my vip points. Obviously that wont be obtainable outside of merge but I hope that the potential increase in ROI along with increase in number of games per day can make up for this and more.
I've consider this move many times, but would like to finish school first. I'm interested to see some responses so I can try and run some numbers and get a better grasp of what can be expected.
Thanks guys

why would you leave 100%+ rb behind, all you have to do is be better than avg player in the pool to make money. Stars aint that great after all the fishy countries (usa, france, italy, spain) left the pool. Stay with niche site and print money. Yeah you probably cant make 100k$+/year outside of stars on sngs, but not many people on stars do that either

Well obviously the 100%+ rb sounds nice but when I can't get really good volume in and can only play micro-low stakes it doesn't make it anything extremely good.

Hi,

Without knowing anything about your game, your current edge, your strengths &weaknesses, nobody is going to be able to tell you what you'll make when you switch formats and player pools.

Take a look around the sharkscope leader boards for the sites/games you are considering, and see how the top players are doing. Of course that isn't what you can expect, but it's as good a guideline for comparing sites/games as any.

If you haven't, check out the FAQ at the top of the forum for posting guidelines.
