dfgjdfglkjlkj **** why do i always resort to martingale **** ive gotten ****ed over atleast 4 times by martingale sdigsjdogijsdgiosjgosjgoisjdog ft needs to have a restrict option on f'ing superturbos and certain stakes for sngs sodgjsdiogjsdg

wow, first time i see bass tilting

Because Martingale graphs look awesome?

The martingale system is a trainwreck of an idea for HU Razz SNGs.

Let's assume you start with the $14 super turbos. And let's assume for simplicity that you will win 50% of your SNGs. If you lose the first, you play the $28, then the $55, the $110, $220 and balance the $330s with $550s to come up with an average buyin ~$440 for the final one. Since these are the only options available to us, this set of buy-in options closes the martingale game for us at $550. So, what would be our expectancy using this strategy? This is actually fairly simple to calculate.

We will win the martingale game (1-(0.5)^5)% of the time. Another way of putting it is that we will lose all 5 games 3.125% of the time. This means we will win 96.875% of the time. However, the key is knowing what a win and loss imply. A win is worth ~$14 (because even if we win at the $440 level, our losses getting there dictate that we win at the margin of our initial bet), while a loss is worth ~$867 (14+28+55+110+220+440). Note that this is the end of the game for us. We cannot continue to raise the stakes. We must now choose to either just play 550s or start a new game. So... our long term expectancy is easy to solve for each game.

It is the % of the time we win the martingale game multiplied by the amount we gain by a win minus the % of the time we lose the martingale game multiplied by the amount we lose in a loss.

or... = (0.96875)*($14) - (0.03125)*($867) = -$13.53 each time we implement this strategy.

standard disclaimers apply... yes I know this isn't a true martingale game and our odds of winning arent 50% and the value we win isnt exactly $14... blah blah blah, but you get the point. It's a fair approximation

every good poker player should know or get this pretty fast. faster you should get that tilitng is bad, and i hat you for tilting here.

actually if his odds of winning at the $14 BI are 50%, then his EV with this strategy should be far worse than -$13. DUCY?

ugh, its too hard to restrain myself from using martingale and it doesnt help that it takes a long time to actually get a sng started. dunno how people can handle stretches of 8 game losses where opponent is significantly worse and ends up calling streets where they should have folded and as a result ends up getting it in as a underdog, but winning the hand anyways, happening possibly numerous times in one game.

Cash out and never play again, you'll thank me later.

The rest of us will thank you now.

why do you guys check the low content thread so often, and complain when im whining despite numerous other pasted hand histories that are random brags/beats?

[] They're just jealous that they have nothing to whine about. Just ignore them.
