Variance in SNG's

Windbreaker · #1 09-12-05, 04:28 AM

Everytime there's a Poker Stars reload, I clear the bonuses strictly through SNG's. I find it a nice change of pace from the regular grind at the ring games. It takes A LOT longer to clear these bonuses this way though. I basically have to play 120 10+1. I don't mind it since I have a high ITM/ROI on my return.

But I don't ever keep records of how much I've bought in for and how many times I cash. I just know, I know how much I'm up in total.

I find that that multi table SNG's to be more advantageous for me to play as well. It takes a lot longer to finish these tourneys...but it pays quite nicely compared to the single table SNG's.

As for this last reload - I've played about 90 10+1 and am pretty sure I have a ROI over 50% on the two table SNG's.

That's "sickly" good. Keep playing them.

My goal throughout the next week or so is to get in 100-200 20+2's on Party.
I hope to achieve a 35% ITM and an ROI of 25%. I plan on playing 3-4 staggered tables at a time.
I have a few questions before I start:

1. Is Empire poker (I have RB) the best place to get this done?

2. Assuming I do play these on Empire how long can I expect each SNG to last?

3. Is 3-4 tabling a legitimate possible number of tables (I can 4 table 6-max L and NL so I think I'll be okay here)?

Im doing it now but on prima, their choice is just soo big. Im playing 100 $20 5strs. last time i did this i had an ITM of 50% and an ROI of somewhere near 47%ish.

I hope you guys keep detailed records. I'll be very interested to see the results.

nflchad, I used to four table the 20 + 2s on eurobet (party skin where i have rakeback). So If you have rakeback at empire I say go for it. If you can 4 table 6max, you are already a multitabling champion and will have no problem. I usually do 4 at once, wait till the last one finishes, then take a 20 minutes break or so, fire up four more, rinse and repeat. I find that the 20+2's since they still have only 800 chips to start, typically take about 40 minutes each, if not shorter.
Good luck man!
