the fund thing has been tried and failed at least once, miserably. can look up the poker fund, led by rocketmist. (granted he was 19 and in way over his head, but was also 8 years ago in the 'glory days'. We blew thru 700k+ so so fast)

Yeah needs to be done properly. The German fund is extremely profitable. We have resources to work hard on a lot of things like this

What would the incentive be to use fund money instead of getting staking from you guys (or playing with ones own money)? Seems a bit too altruistic no? I also think you shouldn't underestimate the amount of legal work/regulations that would be required if you were gonna do this properly. The alternative is of course to just do it off the books. With that said I'd obv be interested in investing if it becomes a thing!

bitB have never bought a % in somebody outside of the stable. I buy pieces of people now and again, but its just me, generally punting, rather than doing it properly.

Its probably a more long term idea I guess.

Have been in Rozdavadov for the weekend. Was fun, won 2 charity mini tournaments and got a signed Boris tennis Racket and signed Carl Froch gloves. Played some poker, made some good contacts and had fun. Nice weekend.

Came back, gf had a really nice dinner waiting and parents were here. Slept a little bit and then played a session. Played probably 7/10. 2 final tables but a net loss by the end of the session.

Currently opening up the lobbies and seeing how the guys are doing. From first glance we are 2/6 in the WU and 2/3 in the b109. Hopefully its a long night!

I've been looking into a bunch of different badger (people i stake) buy in break downs to see where their profit comes from, different rois at different levels etc. Thought I'd look at mine and see how it looked like. Brace yourself for the last graph :@ Generally, I am punting the low stuff very hard, last reg-ing last second, playing very far from optimal and the higher the stake level the more I will be concentrating and trying to lower the variance, except from probably the 215 levels where I will play (incorrectly!) a higher variance style.

Overall:

Should generally be winning,huge up and down swings isn't good and means bad table selection in general or most likely bad fundamentals, but get out of it due to being "good deep" or having good friends deep!




0-49

Every player should be winning here, somewhat variance free. If losing/breakeven/unimpessive then probably some fundamental problems.



50-99

Same as 0-49. This should be somewhat variance free.




100-199

Starting to get a little bit reggier, could look bad if a lot of turbos, but in general, 109s should be pretty good for everybody. Either youre a low stakes guy and you don't play them much and the ones you do play are amazingly soft, or youre a higher stakes guy and should have a big edge.



200-299

Lot of variance in this one as they are usually huge runner fields. How you perform in the million can really be a huge factor in overall profits. I have guys who grind out really solid and the million is their "big" tourney. They brick it for a year and its 1/3 of their profits gg.



300-400

Very eggy stake, only really the $320 6m that runs, should be lots of ups and downs and reminds us why we should probably skip this tournament altogether.



500-800

Very interesting stake level. Almost all 530s we play will have amazingly good structures because they come around in scoop/wcoop etc, Party 530 now lets us get some form of volume.



1k+

The level we will basically never get close to a sample size. cross your fingers and hope to run good!





When I saw my last graph, my eyeballs nearly dropped out I was like are you serrrrrrrrious Really shows why table/game selection is so important, whether that be 1ks for a $150abi guy or $109s for a $15abi guy. You can simply just run really poor in the level where your roi is going to naturally be the lowest and then it can massively impact your results. I'm pretty "lucky' to have ran over expectation at lower stakes, but the guys who run at expectation at lower stakes and then like I have at high stakes are just absolutely ****ed lol

I would encourage you to look at your results from the different buy in levels and see if there is a consistency. We have a lot of guys who apply that have really random and erratic results. In general the graphs should always look better the lower the stakes you play, if they don't then there is probably a huge fundamental leak in your game, especially as the lower stakes will generally give you decent sample sizes.

If anybody wants to share a fun few graphs of a player you can post here but don't post their names. Maybe ITT we can guess who it is!

Thanks for posting the graphs, v. Interesting to see how a winning reg does his thing.

It's also reassuring for someone like me who as an ABI of $11 or so that even winning players have long losing streak at MTTs and I know not to panic if I'm playing well but not getting to FTs all the time.

Could you do a breakdown of turbos vs longer structures? I'm guessing the variance is greater but the overall shape of the graphs would be pretty similar?

Vardy

Bare in mind, I'm not trying to pick the best players. But a team that works well. I go for Cafu/nests/Maldini because they're used to playing with eachother. Bale although Koeman advanced striker used to be a left back and would do a great job there.

Think it's important in any team to have a defensive minded midfielder so went for Viera who would captain the team. Zidane and Demeble would add balance either side of Viera and are also both good box to box midfielders. I went for these wingers instead of your typical Ronaldo/messi as service into the box is important. Shearer the obvious choice for striker, don't need a striker to come out to the wings and cut inside. I have two of the best wingers kf all time there. His job is to lead the line and finish chances and bring others into the game.

Subs bench I have a plethora of attacking options, but also people who can come on and win a game for me by closing it out. Going to a 4-4-2 with Vardy and Shearer working their socks off is an option as is going 4-1-4-1 and sacrificing zizou for an energetic Kante. If Messi/Ronaldo impressed me in training I'd be prepared to think about changing to a different style and potentially introducing a false 9, but as it is I think this team is about as close to gto as we can get.

I think this team would stroll today's premier league.
Look out for Renato Sanchez coming up he might break some peoples starting 11 in a few years. Pretty shocked to not see any players from Spain in the starting lineup or Ronaldo.

what kind of game selection would you guys recommend for a guy playing 11-109s and prefers a lowish' variance?

regspeed>>>turbo's

off peak>>peak

try to keep avg field size relatively low (i fail at this)

try to cherrypick the best mtt's $82+ to play, can use your rb for mtt tickets if you feel like taking a shot

maybe sell some action/swap for highest buyins

make notes on regs and try to see the difference in toughness of mtt's of the same bi level (f.e. 27 deepstacks usually very reggy, b27 very nice)

thank you

yeah my turbo ratio is 5% atm.

what do you mean by off peak specifically?

i cant really keep the field size low, i can play CET afternoons/evenings. :/

what 109s would you prefer for taking a shot? fe. i play the kickoff, but i have no clue how profitable it is compared to other 109s

yes i play both deep27 and bigs, the deep one just because i like deep play, but tbh bigs are more deepstacked in my experience in later stages of tournaments, but cant really skip because of volume.

with off peak I mean mornings/nights in Europe, where field sizes will automatically be a lot smaller; of course it's easier to say than actually play those hours

in terms of softness I like stuff like the early 109 battle royale on Wednesday, early 109 6max on Monday, early 109ko on Saturday; but the kickoff seems fine for shottaking. Also 109BB on good days is a nice one; but yeah if you look at my $80+ graph I might not be the best reference hard to get a sample too when you are selective playing these. Obviously the Sunday Million is the nuts even tho it's a 215

hard to skip 27ds if you have few site options and play those hours, just a pretty reggy tournament
