I am a live 2/5 pro up to 5/10/20 with a 67$ hourly at 2/5 and 100+ in the other over thousands of hours for both. I have been playing full time for 4 years now. I am very new to Mtts however both live and online and have decided just for fun atm to buy a desktop and devoute sundays to grinding online mtts up to maybe 200s. But mostly below 100s Depending on how I like the grind overall I may or maynot try to start getting better at them. My question here is, , given the info I provided about being a very solid live winner, how would you expect this to translate into online mtts up to the 150 buyin mark?. Should my cash skill translate to me most likely being a winner from the get go at small stakes or is it hard to say? And for you online grinders out there....whats a typical good roi and how would your roi translate to hourly...what are most good small to mid stakes mtt grinders averaging per hour?

Live CG pro without much experience in MTTs, playing $100 online tournaments? Your ROI might very well be negative. Unless you are playing on US fenced sites. In that case enjoy swimming in money.

In the beginning don't focus on your ROI or hourly, you need HUGE sample size for that to be even somewhat precise. Play at least 50 000 (better 100 000+) hands online and look at your EV winrate (bb per 100h).

If you're that much of a winner at cash then you've got the talent to be a winner at MTTs. However, there are a lot of specific things you'll need to learn about MTTs in order to maximize that talent. Probably the most important aspects are getting your ranges down for shorter stacks (I'm assuming you don't play under 25BB much in cash, and you'll be doing that a lot in MTTs) and understanding the effects of ICM at various stages in the tournament and how that affects your ranges and lines.

I don't know what I'd figure your hourly for in MTTs, though, but admittedly I've never been good at that and they are very high-variance. I might even start a little smaller just to get your feet wet against softer competition and get comfortable with the situations you'll encounter, figure out if you like playing tournaments enough to try to really be a winner at them. And if your cash game income is that reliable, then in your shoes, I might just do the Sundays with whatever bankroll you can set aside for tournaments specifically and try to spike something big.

But there's a lot of variance on that road and the big win might never come around. As long as you're prepared for that. I had a score on Sunday that got me out of a 200 ABI downswing over like 700-800 tournaments. These things happen (maybe not if you're better at tournaments than me, or you stick to smaller fields, but I'm not too bad).

Your hourly for MTTs wont be $67/hr, unless you bink one quick and stop playing.

I think that you will find the skill difference between live and online shocking, even if you are on a softer US site. The $150 daily MTT at your local casino is going to be the skill equivalent to $5-$10 BI online.

Im not saying dont learn MTTs, but for a live grinder, I would focus on live MTTs which have larger buyins and payouts and treat grinding online as practice. $215 BI onlines are tough, probably the equivalent to a live $1500-$2500 BIs.

If you can invest $5000 over 10 hours with a 10% ROI, that's an expected hourly of $50. Adjust the numbers as needed.
