Hi 2+2 community, I've just joined the forum so I briefly introduce myself.
I play sit&go on pokerstars 18 players mainly 5,5$ now starting with 11$, I'd like some help to better analyze my results as i think they're not good as they could be depending not only on the variance but on my skills that can be improved for sure...
Unforunately I haven't played as much as I would beause of work kids wife :-) etc... but I think i've a quite high number of sits for an analysis.
Could you sharkscope me and have some suggestions? Like level up to 11$ yes or not and what are the main leaks you can find out.
Any help is realy much appreciated thanks in advance

Sorry dude there is no way of identifying your leaks by looking at a graph.

You have run at a 20% ROI at the 5.50 18mans over 1100 games which is very good. I wouldn't see any reason why not to have a shot at moving up.

Thanks for your quick answer, I was thinking on final positions for instance, too many 5th position?Whar sw can you suggest to analyse my leaks? Sitngo wizard or HM?
Thanks again...

You are far too tight when the blinds rise. Don't worry about your ITM/finishes. Focus on fixing your play above all.

Kuco, definitely improve your heads up game too. 2200 hands isnt a huge sample, but I dont think its statistically possible that youre just running bad with that large of a -BB/100. Study up on SAGE and get a HU pushfold chart.

You havent played enough games so I dont think you can make too many assumptions about your finish distribution or or ITM%. But if we were, like MB said, you seem to be to tight in middle and late stages. My guess is that when it gets to 4-5 handed youre just folding hoping to make the bubble somehow. The bubble is more most winning players build up there stacks. Try taking more risks earlier (usually by shoving wider, not calling wider) and then putting pressure on shorties when i gets close to the bubble.

I think if you post some hands you have questions on, it will open your eyes to how wide you can profitable shove.

Hi all,
I would like to ask some questions.
I play @ pokerstars STT 9man turbo.
Currently i play @ 1.75$ and after 267games i have 20% roi.
I multitable 6 at a time.
1) Is my sample small? If yes what is a reliable games sample that indicates i am good at this level and i can get higher
2) In 6.5$ is there a lot of differnce than 1.75$ and 3.4$ ?

I was giving up on you guys, but none the less. Aggression seems to be the key ingredient missing from my game. Also playing extra carefully in low blind situation.

This month
170 games, ITM 40%, ROI 5.2% :P

15 minutes with SngWiz showed me a lot of SB 100% pushes.

How do you calculate Risk of Ruin at super turbo sngs?

I want to figure out my bankroll requirements based on how much I could lose with x ROI.

ROI simulators will give you a good answer. The fact that its a super turbo isnt important. Its what your ROI is that determines how big of a downswing you might face.

Ive played both 6 and 9 man super turbos at a couple different BI levels. This is where id guess the "max" downswings will be for certain ROIs. This is suicidewatch doomsday stuff fwiw and semi educated guesses.

7% 60bis
5% 80bis
3% 120bis
2% 150bis
1% 200bis

Thats just downswings. What roll you need depends on how many games you play at once, how easy it is for you to reload, whether you get weekly rakeback and bonuses. If you dont know your ROI, id just have ~100Bis and adjust as needed.

Thanks, that's really kind of you to take the time to write that up for me. I've seen your graphs and they're very impressive so it's great to get a response from you.

I play 6m $20 supers on FTP, normally 10tabling. I will get some more games in at the 10s to build the roll and gain confidence in my ROI. Maybe mixing stakes with 20s as the games will start faster that way too.

I mostly play the 9mans and am finally making the move up to the 10s. What Ive been doing is playing the lower bis in the morning and late at night when im playing then, and then playing the higher BIs during busier times when the games are prob softer. (3-8pm pacific time and weekends)

Best of luck. The 6max supers have some crazy swings so prepare for that.

Hello, I'm mainly playing 6max low stakes tables and doing pretty good, I'm not using and Hud because I'm playing on a swedish site.
my question is this: what type of sit n go should I play, the site has the following blind increase levels, once every 3min, 6min, 10min or 10min deep-stacked? I've come to the conclusion that I'm doing a lot better playing the deep-stacked games but one table can take over an hour.

What tables are you guys playing?

and sorry, my english isn't that good.

I've been planning to buy a membership for one of the pokertraining-sites (cardrunners etc.). Which one would you recommend for a low stakes grinder who already knows the very basics. I'm currently playing mainly 6.5$ turbos on stars.
Btw do you know is there a free trial on any training-site with (atleast almost) unrestricted access to all videos?

As always, help much appreciated.

Good luck on the move up, you'll be fine obv.

I think I find the best games at 2am-4am ET (server time), but the only other time I play is 9pm-1am, when I normally find things a little tougher. Not sure why though.

Mostly a cash player and been mixing it up with some sitngos for fun. Tried googling a ton and searching on here but can't find a definitive answer.

What kind of M/BB do the effective stack sizes need to call with speculative hands ala suited connectors/smaller PP's? I have a tendency to tighten up early and miss some spots when chips are flying around, then end up just grinding to get in the money. I loosed up a little today and took it down, but sample size is lol.

FWIW these are ~$10 buy in games on Merge and while there are some good players, the play at the table is generally anything you'd see in a $5 or below on most sites.

I was playing essentially if eff stacks are higher then 20 (which is not usual later on), etc. Basically Harrington but this is a STT so the dynamics are different plus I'm a cash player and almost never play tourneys so this is new to me. I'm just learning to understand ICM but that is just a tool and not a tell all.

Thanks in advanced guys!

10 min blinds is usually refered to non turbo which is what i prefer (playing on Full Tilt poker). You can sustain a higher return per game playing non turbos because of the extra play before 10bb stacksizes arise but they take longer.

all in all you should decide what is most comfortable for you.

If the payout structure is the same, the only changes will come in tendencies for the actual game play. The heart of the strategy lies in the payouts.

Taken from our FAQ at the very top of the forum in the announcements section:

i want to get better at hyperturbo mtt satellites. the ones on stars where 1/3 win and starting stacks of 500 and 25/50 blinds. where is a good place to start?

what are some recommended books for STT and poker training sites for lower stakes STT??

i already have Moshman's book on Sit n Go's

hello,

i am extrememly green to this forum and am curious to know how exactly to post a thread??

i need some basic help here.

anyone ??

1) What to Post in STTF & How to do so http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/36...ncement63.html

im playing these hyper turbo sngs on stars, 6mans satties to donkaments, and its not showing up right in my HEM results tab since they pay out by seats instead of monetary amounts

can someone please help me fix this?

The $1.50+.25 games are they beatable with such high rake?

Id say they are but the 2s aren't any tougher so you should just move up asap.

Harrington.
