Hey there. I'm planning on moving from cash games back to MTT's and to really focus on the $4.50 180s. I was considering buying SnGWiz, but I knida got the impression that it's more focused towards 9 man SnG's or turbo tourneys (I prefer normal speed)? Is it still worth the investment? Seems like I may as well, $99 for a potentially massive improvement in my game, just wanted a 2nd opinion.

Thanks in advance!

Long term if you use it (correctly), in general yes. Just get the trial and make the most of it for now?

Thanks for your reply, your help is much appreciated. You said "correctly". What kind of things exactly would you focus on if you were just gonna play 180s with some larger MTT's mixed in?

Well you have to learn how to use it basically.. I wasn't even talking about using it correctly in the sense that you work on the right parts of your game, although that's important too. For example, using the right mode at the right times (cEV or $EV), knowing when you can shove a bit wider than is profitable according to cEV/$EV like when you are super short etc and what edge to set and so on. There is quite a bit to just explain here but it's not too hard either. There should be a bunch of threads talking about this and FAQs in SNG wiz prob help too. Basically if you use it blindly then it won't be helpful/you will learn incorrect and bad ranges etc. gl

Maybe you should reduce the amount of tables for a bit, really think about each move. soon your book a win and your be back on track again, not point in mass tabling your bankroll away.

180 man sng. Using the nash calculator what structure are you guys using when your calculating for the last 3 remaining players?

Is there a reason to alter defaults?
0.3,0.2,0.119,.08,.065,.05,.035,.026,0.017

Pros and cons with showing vipstatus? Platinumstar for example.

I dont think there is any pros in showing your VIPstatus. Your giving away info that you dont have too.

my default is 0.3,0.2,0.1

so what if its four handed do you keep the defaults the same then?

Not sure what you mean.
You have the 9 handet structure. It covers all.
4 handet if you need to gain time? input smt like
0.3,0.2,0.119,.08 or
0.3,0.2,0.12,.08

You prob know that sngwiz has an option under tools tab to send hand to the nash calc.

Is there an updated article or list showing the expected roi per stake nowadays?

180man sry

havent bought wiz yet

guess you could play a few thousand games, prolly the best way to find out

fair enough, pretty helpful advice there

dont know how helpful people are going to be. everyone is going to have different ROI even 'these days' plus there are different buyin and the ROI is aways going to decrease as the stakes rise plus how many tables will you be playing because that will effect it aswell, do you play weekdays, weekend or both, what time do you play, all this will effect the ROI. I doubt anyone can give you a figure like 'you will earn this much'

FYP

All i meant was avg's, like on 9man they say under $5 should be between 10-15%,between $5-15 7-10% etc

are those unexploitable cEV pushes accurate ?
or i can find some better tables , i more or less know it by heart but i want to check myself in some spots

final table $2.50 180 man
2 short stacks are just waiting for someone to bust. SB is a good reg who picks this spots. BB is crazy, got the chip lead from me by pushing Q7o after i min raised utg with AJo. I'm i better folding this given the stack sizes

The two short stacks look worse when you convert it!

$35/180 FT, what's your calling range here against a good reg?

he jammed previous bvb hand.

i've been tight on FT thus far.

Preflop: Hero is BB with
4 folds, SB raises to 29,480 and is all-in, Hero

33 closeish but should be fine

35ft pretty qide esp if you are unknown to him a good reg is prob atc with this stack size so just set on wiz and call similarly/accordingly. yes i know there is a little icm in the spot

what sort of rois can regs acheive in the 15% 45 mans?

and my roi is roughly 14% in the 7s what will that translate to at the 15s?

What is your sample size?

I really don't think there is a lot of difference between the $7s and $15s ($7s maybe a little fishier).

The guys at the top of the SS leaderboard (for $5 - $15, so both buy ins) seem to be about 12-15%.
