Hello,
I just started playing turbo 1,50s on Pokerstars, I read few books before I did it and then deposited 11,99$. Don't mock me please, I'm not very wealthy dude.
I played 229 games in last 3 days and build my bankroll to 47,27$. So 35,28$ profit. It could have been more if I would play my A game in every single match but I was tilted or tired from too much SNGs. 100-150 per day is just too much for me.
So what do you think? Is this solid result? I know it's a very small sample but I think few words can be said about it.
Thanks.

Can you be more specific? If correct BR for playing these is around 25 BIs we cannot expect downswings bigger than 15 BIs and I already made around 23 BIs profit - I think we can say something about it. I don't expect to play 2000 games at 1.50 level.

You need a bigger sample of course , but you need also to check your Ev line. I guess you don't have Poker Tracker or Holdem Manager but they have some free trials for a limited time ...You can download one of them them and check your EV

Ok I downloaded PT and imported hands. My net EV line is above that main green line. Does that mean that my decisions are +? Can someone explain this please.

Sir you play only 3 days. It can be only great upswing. Please come back here if you will have minimum 5000 games.

Keep working OP, it's just the beginning, but it's how many of us started originally.

op, thing is, you posted just results and that means really nothing, except that you are up 35$, ev would tell a bit more, but still sample is so small you cant really draw any conclusions from it, just keep playing and see what happens

Ok here is my graph, I'm new to PT4 so I hope this is the right one. ¸
About great upswing, how many BIs of downswing can I expect then?

lol come on man hes playing turbos. Even in hypers he wouldn't need anywhere near 5k games to get a rough estimate of his winrate at the 1.5s.

I played one Spin&Go. And I won 1 000 000$ what you can tell about my game ? Am I top player ?
My stats :
ITM : 100%
ROI: 200000%
Profit: 999 995 $

BTW
5k games in turbos is a 3,5 - 4 months. It's a good time to see where you are in your stakes. At this moment we know he won a few session. But probably he will be a winning player. He should try to play at 3,50.

Later I tell you something about swings in this games. I have a huge sample. But now I have to go.

CU later

It is enough to take around a 7BI shot and move down if you starts loosing more. 3.5$ level is as easy to beat as 1.5$ (lower rake similar to skill increase).

For me it's not enough. I prefer more conservative bankroll management, but you can try to play like a said Kalupso.

My longest losing streak was 60 games in a row on 7$ !!! I had a thread about it some time ago. It was not a swing on 60 buy-ins cause I played 7 euro games in same time. My biggest downswing in two years in Heads Up turbo I think it was maybe 25 BI. Like you see this games are friendly.

What you can expected from Heads Up turbo:

At this moment Heads-Up games are more difficult like was 1-2 years ago. I stopped play Heads-Up in march.

Best of Luck
