Hi everybody,I had discussion with my study group about something and we had different ideas.
We all play mtt ABI 15/20€ and we were discussing about schedule. I had recently a big shot but i dont want change my schedule.
I pay so much attention about it and i try to play only games easy, from 5€ to 50€.
My friends told me that im crazy because i should cut all 5€ and replace with 20 and 50€.My opinion is work hard on my game and reach higher expected on the same tournaments.What do u think about?
Replace 5€ games where my roi is about 60% with some 20-50€ where my roi could be 15/25% or not?

this depends a lot on your bankroll and how many buy ins you use per tournament. also how many tables you play simultaneously.
the higher your br while table count is low, the bigger your ABI should be. A nice format of this is how much money you have "open" on any time. So 16 tables of 5$ equal 6 tables of 13$ games which would yield you less money since your ROI should be lower. If you can sustain the swings of higher BI at the same table count, go for it. Play high ABI when you're a-gaming and fill with lower ones when you bust the higher games.

Always go for higher buyin and smaller field size. You don't get to play infinite games so all else being equal your priority should be to play the games that let you reach your expectancy the quickest. That means playing the smallest field sizes possible.
