How Ok (or not Ok) is it to be breakeven after about 200 SNGs? I mean I know it's not ok, but can it be variance or I just suck?
I'm talking about 2$ FT sngs.

200 SNGs is not a significant sample at all

i think its ok to start out breakeven, while still learning the techniques to beat sngs. 200 isnt a big sample and you have for sure tons of spots where you can improve so go and learn

Anyone know how many of these percentages are wrong in HEM? I know there are atleast a few I have found that are incorrect. Anyone know how many there are and if/when HEM will fix this? Thanks, I searched but could not find a complete list of all of them.

Okay forgive me if I'm missing something or if I'm being ******ed here for whatever reason, but when comparing the $22+2 turbo STT on FTP and the $15+1 PokerStars equivalent, it occurred to me that the rake on the PS game is 25% less than the FTP game. If FTP had a $15 game that kept the sam rake% as all of the other turbo STT's, the game would be a $15+1.33 buyin, and with 27% rakeback the rake would effectively be $0.97. So by playing the Stars game as opposed to the $22+2 on FTP, even before VIP bonuses you are getting almost (27% vs 25%) the same rakeback as FTP in the form of lower rake. Please someone tell me if I'm missing something crucial here...

Is it just me, or are there no 9man (or 6m fwiw) non turbo SNGs at FTP over 10$ now? Have tried to find them with and without filtering, but I just can't find anything, except pot limit.

didnt use hem alot yet but the percentages in the handreplayer are total crap.

waar:
i would also like a better rake structure for ftp turbo/non turbo. if i look at super turbo structure the rake gets a little bit lower the higher you play, which encourages people to move up. right now im on the 6+0.5 and moving up to 11+1 increases rake paid (percentages)

flippo:
there are all sorts of games over 10$ nonturbo 6/9 man. maybe you looked a bit

I see. Most are correct, I've only found a couple. If I can get a list, it would make my review sessions a bit more efficient. Thanks for the post though. One thing that may help, is there a script to load hands in Pokerstove?

I'd like to think someone has made that script/software. I'd ask in the software and possibly mid/high stakes cash forums.

Edit: It's poss a few ppl have made one but not thought to share it.

There are Highly profitable players who 20+ table without one. So there is no anwser to your question as everyone is different.

pretty basic super turbo question that probably applies to every form of tournament poker:

i keep finding myself in the following spot and not sure what to do:

7 handed blinds 20-40 hero is in SB w/ 60 chips. folds to hero.

So basically I've already posted the SB and have 1 BB left. Should I be shoving any two here because of pot odds? If not, what range should I shove as BB is obviously never folding?

Thank you!

Arrr innn! (arrrrrrr!)

I've been known to fold the absolute dregs vs a big stack when the blinds are higher but you can't go too far wrong sticking it in.

Thanks. I was hoping for more of a mathematical/ICM evaluation of the problem if anybody else wants to take a stab at it.

Seems to me it should be absolutely correct or incorrect to get it in here with 72o, rather than

I just don't know which it is or how to figure it out.

Only 42o and 32o have less equity than that vs a random hand, but 72o is a shove.

If your stack was larger compared to the average stack size and you were closer to the bubble you would want a bit more than 33.3% equity in these situations. If there are antes it's probably always an ATC shove.

So I'm shoving anything better than 42o? That works!

Thanks!

random question, those of you who are sng regs, how many buyins do you guys have in your bankroll? we're assuming a static environment where you regularly cashout and dont plan on moving up or down, and an amount where ur risk of ruin is very small.

Depends on a lot of factors, I play the 16s and like to keep ~100. If I was at the 27/38s I'd keep more like 150 since my edge is a lot smaller

I think if your good and have solid win rate 120-150 BI is enough for just about anyone if we're talking 2-18 mans @ $40 or less stake
