I popped you a DM in the discord with the charts.
In response to your question $10-15 is more than achievable and this can be done at the lower end of the stakes. like $5-10 stakes can exceed these requirements but it is not necessarily a super simple format to learn. It takes time like anything to increase your knowledge and hone your skills. Mindset is an incredibly underrated factor in this format too. The variance can be huge, so you need to ensure you can remain calm under pressure and seperate your decision making from real money outcomes where possible.
It is like everything, you have to start somewhere
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks again for the pre flop charts, they are incredibly useful for me trying to learn the format and they're really simple to understand as well.
I've found a way to make learning them easier by memorizing the top hand ranges on pokerstove by % of hands (eg top 5%, top 10%, top 15% etc) I can then get a good idea of how to play from each position then all I need to know is the raise / call / fold percentages in each circumstance, write them all down on a spreadsheet and I can quickly look that up whenever I'm not sure what to do with a hand in a certain pre flop position.
Example:
HU20BB BBvsMR - Raise 5% Call 80% - I was probably folding about 50% of hands from this position before looking at this chart and making various mistakes from other positions too so this has helped a lot.
It's not an exact science but it's helping me to learn a good ballpark understanding of the ranges in each circumstance.
I've been running well this month playing just 1 table while I'm learning I'm running at 18BB/100 over 513 tournaments, mostly at $1 and $2. I was surprised to see that it was that high and assumed that I was running hot but my red line is pretty consistent and my all in EV line is showing as slightly higher than my actual winrate so I guess there's a small possibility that I'm actually playing quite well lol.
Do you think 18BB/100 is a sustainable winrate at the lower stakes for a lot of players or is that likely too high to be sustainable over a decent sample size for somebody who's not particularly experienced?
I've got my account issues sorted with discord now so I'll have a little look and see if I can contribute to the discussion at all over there.
