Dumb question. I played poker online about 5 years ago. I had tilt problems and bank roll issues always playing beyond my roll. Building up from micro stakes and then putting my whole roll on one table because I was stupid. I gave up in the end because I was doing my own head in. Any ways. How much has poker changed. Do people still play ? Is there still money to be made. Is it worth getting back into it now I've grown up and not soo crazy ? Loved the game before and didn't do to bad at low stakes. Cheers.

It's immeasurably more difficult. If you were able to beat 25NL back then, you'd probably struggle at 5NL now.

It's worth it if you're looking for fun, not so much as a money-making pursuit.

When you're heads up at the end of an SNG at 15bb or less should you always simply follow the push/fold/(call off to shove) charts against any opponent or should you adjust (if your opponent is super nitty even at 15bb or if he shoves any two)?

Of course you should adjust.

Push/fold charts are predicated on the idea that your opponent is playing perfectly. If opponent is calling too much you can tighten up, if he's folding too much you can shove wider.

Also I'm not a SnG player but can't we still be min raising and limping out BTNs with 15bbs? I don't think we are quite push fold territory.

I wanna ask dumb question : If you play PLO/PLO 5 cards..given any situation,is it better (in % chance) to always run it twice or just once..I mean +Ev or -Ev ? Or is just the same..?

Ps. Sorry, pardon my English

Is it possible to have a long term SNG ROI of >40% if the field is really bad? I've been playing $1 SNGs on a really soft site and it's pretty hard not to at least min cash unless variance does its thing and you have a bad beat or a cooler.
I haven't done any proper tournament HU study yet but most people there just want to GII with random junk and gamble so I feel like I have a decent edge there, even without HU specific study.
I have a good ROI over about 100 games which I know is a lolsample but is it at least some indication for a "true" ROI? Or have I just been running like God?

lolsample and "true" ROI don't even belong in the same sentence. You don't really know how good you are until you have a decent sample size.

When I played SNGs on PokerStars I worked my way up the levels from $1 to $5 to $10. After getting a decent bankroll at $5, but not enough to move up to $10, one day I decided one day to play a $10 to see what it was like, and I won it. I stayed at $10, I kept winning and I never moved back down to $5.

I don't remember how many $10 SNGs I played, but I think it was around 75. My ROI was 14%, higher than I had at $1 or $5.

I doubt that I got better when I moved up to better competition. Clearly 14% was not my new "real" ROI.

You are correct. After all, in a SNG, you can have less than 15bbs and still be in a cashing spot. 15bb can often be way too early to shove, especially when you're in fourth place or better. Here's an example:

Four players left, you're in third place. Blinds are 100/200, you have 500 chips and the short stack has 75. You can fold, waiting to see if the small stack gets knocked out, putting you in the money.

There are plenty of times when you can profitably fold a lot of weak- and medium-strength hands. Sometimes I will be sitting in 4th or 5th place and the big stacks are making big bets and playing a lot of hands. In a situation like that I can sometimes lay low and wait for knockouts. If conditions are right I can sometimes fold 10 hands in a row and move up 2 spots.

You asked how to post a pic, fozzi obliged, you posted a pic..... so yeah, this is OK.

If you are asking about the info in the picture, yes, this is OK. Looks like my graph at 1000/2000 from years ago.

It's not a graph worth looking at. Unless you win the whole tournament you're always going to loose the last hand you play and that hand will always be at the highest blind level you reach and it will often be for close to the maximum number of chips you had until he tournament so of course that line is going to straight down with a huge EV difference.
