Hello,

Is there a link to a thread about the validity of game sample size for ROI?

Specifically I want to know what sample size is considered enough for 18 mans

thanks,

Bob

Hi!

I'm switching from NL100 cashgames to SNG's, and I feel completely lost. I want to play the 180's on PokerStars. Never played an SNG before, bankroll is around 3000$. Where do I start? What do I need to learn? What programs to use, what limit do I start at etc... Plz help!

Rizzo

I want to switch from 50nl 6 max to 6 max SNG's and need to know where to start like Rizzo in the above post. Are there any specific e books i should buy or anything?

If we can make general statements and estimates here, assuming a person has played a million SNGs the past 12 months, what would a good profitable player expect to be at in terms of ROI in small stakes vs. large stakes, now vs. 4 years vs. 9 years ago? Are my estimates correct:

Small stakes: now: 8-12%, 4 years ago: 10-15%, 9 years ago:15-25+%
larges stakes: now: 2-5%, 4 years ago: 4-7%, 9 years ago: 8-10+%

I'm like 90% sure I found a bot in lowstakes Lock DONs. Clearly this is not shocking new info, but where in here should I go to ask around about this particular player? I didn't want to out the screen name unless there was an appropriate thread for it.

Thanks

I'd post that in the Merge Network SNG thread and see what the guys have to say. If evidence is compelling off to the Internet Poker forum you go!

I hate to say I don't want a bot off the site, but some bots are so bad. I was printing money off these 50nl HU bots and someone outted them on 2+2 and poof they're gone

How long was the time frame from when you identified him as a bot and when he was banned and how much money did you make off him?

Hi,
You can play on 180ppl 15$ SNG on pokerstars if you want. Its very prof. game.

GL.

PT3 has a stat option for M, does it also have an option for your stack as a multiple of the BB? Can't find it on the list of stat options.

If not in PT3 what about PT4? HEM 1 or 2?

I know table ninja has this but I found it unreliable sometimes, not updating correctly every hand.

Hey guys,

I play some DONs and SNGs from about 20s to 70s, 6 max and full ring. I play mostly on Bovada and have done well. I'd rather not play at Merge due to recent issues with payouts, what other site is active with SNGs and available to US players? I've heard Intertops is good and I've looked over their games at peak hours? Is it possible to get 6+ tables of sngs going on there? I'd rather not go to merge and get something quicker cashout wise, I also bet sports so Intertops may be a great choice. Any other sites/networks to think about?

Can somebody explain to me how you get 37% equity in the following situation:

-9 man SNG
-4 handed
-stack distribution are as follows: you: 6150, player 2: 6150, player 3: 600, player 4: 600
-50%-30-20 payout

Oh well when you put it like that..... heh your estimates look pretty good actually. Not that I know what small and larges stakes are but hey!

So, we have 6150/13500 chips so 45% of the time we get 50% automatically for first. If the other big stack gets 1st, then 83% of the time we get 2nd (6150/7350), and the other 16% the one of the two shorties gets 2nd, we get 3rd 91% of the time this happens (6150/6750). Each time a players stack is eliminated from the possiblities (since they placed already) we take their chips out of the denominator since they can't win any more. We do this same process for the times either of the shorties win, and calculate the total possibility of each event chain, multiplied by the pays out.

This obviously isn't something easy to calculate in your head, but look at this logically. We get 2nd most of the time we don't get first. We cannot win more than 50%, so it is going to be somewhere inbetween 50% and 30%. We get 20% or even 0% some of the time, but its enough to make it where have a lot of equity in this tourney.

Note if we double up through the other 6150 stack, there is no way we can possibly have more than 50% equity in the tournament. This is why we have to be such a big favorite versus other big stacks on the bubble.

Hey guys,

So I am running some super turbos to try and clear a bonus. Pretty fun change of pace too. I am doing some review of my play in SNGwiz and need some confirmation. Guy on the bb is 24/10 if it matters. Wiz says this is a fold, but I'm not so sure that's the case at the $1 level.

BTN: 1,000 (10 bb)
SB: 1,000 (10 bb)
BB: 1,000 (10 bb)
Hero (UTG): 1,000 (10 bb)
MP: 1,000 (10 bb)
CO: 1,000 (10 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q A

You have done something wrong if wiz says AQ is a fold. The tighest I could get wiz there is 66/AJ or 77/AJ can't remember

But yeah never ever fold AQ there

when playing loose recreational players, should you

1. play LAG to gain equity by getting in more pots with them or
2. play TAG to gain equity for free when they knock each other out

Is it better to resteal with a marginal hand like J9s with 8-9 bbs or push trash with FE later? I tend to fold the J9s and now I'm thinking that might be a mistake.

yea thanks I reran it and it said what you had there. I almost took a dump when I saw wiz spit that out.

this, assuming you have position on them

You should do both loxx

Lik sieb says pick on them in position. Abuse you co/btn very liberally, but otherwise sit back and play fairly tight and let them make you money by doin dumb stuff

how many games at a time of 6m hyper turbo is 100 games an hour?

I think the avg run time of a hyper turbo is around 6min from what I have heard. So ten sets of ten hypers would get you there.

16 tabling continuous is around 100 give or take.

oops nvm
