I had yet to truly beat a game in online poker and would like to be profitable in MTT's so I thought the STT's would be a good place to start. You will see on sharkscope I am a loosing micro stakes player. I had reached 100-buy-ins at $1.50 6-max Hypers after 600 games then continued on realizing that I was running above EV I wanted to grind it out to 1,000 games played. I also ended up mixing in about 150 3.50's and a couple 7's and 15's if they looked good. I had a long break-even/loss stretch that I had never felt in the first 600 games but my EV is in the right direction! I have not been able to find any micro graphs online here so I thought I'd post one and see how others are doing and if there is interest.



Next giraffe is with some 6-max hyper bounty SNG's and 9-max hypers. The 9-max hypers are being cruel to me right now after 250 games but will put in the volume until 1000 and keep studying!!



Hopefully I see some other giraffes coming out or here some feedback. If so I will post my 9-max graph after this long weekend. I should be able to hit 1000 no problem.

Hi. Just checked out your graph's (not giraffe's ) on Sharkscope. I think you are doing well. If I could offer you any advice I would say move up to the $3.50 buy in as soon as possible because the rake at $1.50 is significantly more, while the standard of play is pretty much the same.

Over the last couple of years I have experimented with various games. I played about 4500 HU hypers and basically broke even. The 9max hyper's are fun. I played about 900 of them last year but sort of given them up now, mostly because the traffic for them is a little low as you increase in buy in. Also played about 2000 6max hyper's between 888 and Pokerstars. Moved away from 888 though as the rake is way higher.

Currently I'm playing the 6max hyper KO (around 3000 so far) which I'm having the most success with. I find it to be the most enjoyable format to play and there seems to be a lot of recreational gamblers attracted to this particular game type. I see you've played a few of them. Well worth re-visiting.

Anyway you can take a look at my graphs on Sharkscope. GL.

Do people generally not look at their $ Net Adjusted for comparing $EV? Just wondering since if I compare my actual $ won to $ Net Adjusted I'm pretty far above Net Adjusted but if I look at my chip graphs I'm basically at EV.

Here is my graph anyway, from 300 $0.50 9man turbos and 300 $1.50 9man turbos: https://imgur.com/fGwKPMb

I was hoping to move up to $3.50s by now but I've been having a ~65 game break even stretch, which feels like forever because I'm slow at putting in volume haha.

I did mix in some $3.50 hyper's while playing the $1.50 and agree with you that they play the same and the lower rake. Instead of moving up I had used the 6-max hyper's as practice for push/fold and ICM. I am now playing 45-man turbo's with good success, sticking to the $1.50 once again I find my results are better when I stick to one game and put in the volume there. Ya it does suck the traffic is so low for single table SNG's because they are a lot of fun!! The KO's like you said are definitely a good way to go I had put some volume in them on the second graph and I was never playing with other regs and people were crazy

Ya I use the prizes tab for winnings when looking at my EV not chip EV. The prizes tab shows more ICM related spots I believe so when on bubble and HU. The chip EV graph I do look at but make sure I also look at a filtered report showing chips won based on players left in SNG. So you can see if you running below EV on bubble or above, good way to find leaks in game as well. I just got a new PC so I went from 6-tabling to 10 tabling the 6-max hypers Volume is definitely important when your ROI is low between 4-7% or something especially playing hypers. Nice graph btw keep it up happy to see another fellow micro stakes grinder trying to get it putting in the work

Could you clarify what you mean? When you look at the prizes tab, if you display all-in equity, isn't that the same as the all-in equity from when you view chips won (i.e. your chip EV)? Because there are now 2 labels on the y-axis of the graph.
