I agree. I actually think it would work better to have a starting balance and be able to choose whatever games I want to play as it's not easy sticking to schedules for long packages - obviously this was my first attempt at doing this.

In terms of SNGs, since I got HEM, I have played 528 18 man SNGs @ $15 buy-in level with an ROI of 80% - so I definitely think they are a great thing to include.

1. I don't think that anyone has any objectives about changing schedule a bit as long as it is in general lines of the BAP. For instance if this is Omaha package it is ok if You change Omaha tourneys if they are in line with buy in sizes. I would dabate against putting in other games or larger buy-ins since that will contribute to larger swings
2. About STG - I agree that is might be good contribution, but not at such markups. Yes You added a couble of them and had profi - great, but if You look at statistics I doubt Your long term ROI is above this markup. I suggest that You put up a seperate BAP for STG

My opinion.

You're the one playing, up to you to do what you think will return the most money!

Good luck today!

just absurd how badly I'm running - really sucks

can't win a hand so skipping the $215 FLO8 and $55r PLO...will round up and send refunds after my session finishes tonight

I don't know if that 55r is available for late reg but I would love one more shot. Seems that one tourney could even things up, even after all the soul-crushing. Sorry it's worn you down this week.

I will wait to see what thoughts you have on game selection before I decide on purchases tomorrow. I know that any doubts from the thread were due in large part to the fall of the cards, and there was little you could do about it.

Sometimes you have to know when to cut your losses - just wasn't our week and I'd rather have some more refunds to give back than get crushed in another big tourney in this package. I played my hardest all week - and obviously I had 50% of this package myself - so it's been an expensive week

It dont look meant to be this week but you done your best .. maybe its time to reduce variance for a while in some new packages that include more sng's than mtt's
