I guess I'll follow that with an actual question or two this time.

1. In HUSNG's, for an average grinder, what do you feel is an adequate sample size of games to judge if someone is good enough to beat a certain level/game or whatever. I understand your answers will change with game type so:
a.) Normal Speed
b.) Regular Turbo
c.) Super Turbo

2. In the HUSNG's, what amount of ROI do you feel is attainable over the sample sizes for each type of game listed in question #1. I know it depends on stakes again, so:
a.) $10 SNG's (for 1a, 1b, and 1c)
b.) $100 SNG's (for 1a, 1b, and 1c)
c.) $1,000 SNG's (for 1a, 1b, and 1c)

3. Do you see any of these numbers changing in the near future?

I'm just curious as there seems to be general assumptions of people on the forums of what the attainable rates are, but wanted to know your take on it as you really seem to know your stuff.

Which I suppose is the reason I'm using my 1000th post on your well.
Ommmmg the razr was the nuts. I actually had a very difficult time parting with it for the iphone.

This is a super interesting question. My offhand idea for this is:

Regspeed sample: 1k games, although I could be convinced it might be lower or higher depending on stakes, since i dont usually play regspeeds
Turbo sample: 2-3k games
Hyper sample: 5k games, although i could be convinced it might actually be closer to 10k games to see true roi given the swings

$10 sngs:
a)15-20%
b)10-15%
c)2-5%

$100 sngs:
a)10-15%
b)5-9%
c)1-5%

$1000 sngs:
a)5-10% (very game selection dependent for a/b)
b)3-7%
c)1-3%

I'm gonna do a bit more research and change my answers here if need be but that is my auto thought for them.

Do you still go on tilt often after a sick beat or bad run? Is ego still a big issue in your HU game? Tilt control is still a big issue for me even after 16k HU game. Like Gus said, he have not seen a pro who does not get affected by losing. I guess the key is how to handle it to minimize the damage. I did see Annette_15 go tilt after a bad beat. Shove with 56s with 30 BB left. Even top pro go tilt from time to time.

Wow, U.S. Open? Always wanted to go to that but for some reason never made it. Who is your favorite tennis player (male/female)? When you say you're grinding WCOOP in Manhattan does that include the oh so common "I HATE MY LIFE", "OMG MY WRISTS HURT SO MUCH", "WAIT... STARS HAS ADVANCED MULTI TABLE OPTIONS?", and of course the random burst into song? I was going to ask you some semi-serious questions but I can't think of anything at the moment, plus doubt I'd get a real response from you anyway.

Seems to me Melanie's responses have been well articulated and very "real". Unless perhaps you have some sort of stalking history with her

Lol i appreciate the defense but frank is just being his usual sweet dbag self he loves me to death ofc. Frank it OBV ENTAILS ALL OF THOSE.

You should go to US Open but you probably won't b/c u'll be too busy 4betting paired flops with 5 high and getting off to yourself afterwards. Fav tennis players: Nadal fav guy (be still my heart), my fav girl might be tied b/t melanie oudin & caroline wozniacki.

I actually do speak a little German because I picked that language to study in middle school b/c the teacher gave out giant Toblerone bars in class.

I am conversationally fluent (really rusty/ some of my grammar is off) in Hebrew and speak a little Czech from studying in Prague.

Lol I was aware of the multiquote feature as i have used it before, see posts above...I just like doing most of them individually. Didn't think it was too difficult to follow like this but if others prefer it that way i can change it
