100 $3.50 SNGs

in Online Poker
As punishment for my recent horrid play and bad bankroll management, I am playing 100 $3.50 9man SNGs. Since OPR doesn't track these, I will have a spreadsheet dedicated to these games. Plus I'll keep a running log on how I'm doing, every 20 games or so.

Hopefully by the end of this I'll learn a valuable lesson and build up my roll.

    Good luck, I was thinking about doing something like this soon too. Maybe in the new year but I might do a ring game challenge. Definately some kind of bankroll management challenge. I think it's good for even the best of us sometimes! I think you should update every 10 not 20 as I am interested to see your results.

    I can grab the results from Sharkscope for you.

    i was honestly considering doing this exact thing. i keep moving away from my profitable games i think. do i smell a prop bet?

    Naw, I can't multi table worth a darn. Maybe best ROI after 100 games buys the other guy a MTT micro buy in (under $5) ?

    Has to be finished within 14 days ?

    Even better then. What would be a good time frame for you ?
  • trigstrigs
    probably a month i'd say (30 days). i'm not great at multitabling either. i'd probably play 4 at a time at most (although i'd have better results with 2 at a time).

    I am currently playing 3 at a time. Hey, its all about making money, so stick to playing whatever is best for you. Let's call it 100 by year's end.

    Post your results as you go in this thread. Best ROI wins (over 100 games) and gets a micro tourney of their choice paid for by the other.
  • trigstrigs
    heh, well you already started, but i'm still in. hopefully it'll challenge me to finish them all. i'll post here every ten games.

    bring it!

    edit: i'm assuming it doesn't matter if their turbos or not?

    Naw, I'm ok with either, I'm playing the turbos just to get it done quicker.

    Oooooohhhh . . . I like it when Devon gets all feisty and such. I have been having some fun with the $3.50s lately. Doubt I could reach the volume, though.

    Consistency is the key. I'll be happy if I maintain a 30% ROI over 100 games. Then I'll just play more of them.

    10 games, 2 wins and a third. 35 dollars in BI's 33.60 in winnings. 10 tabling was pretty hard
  • djgolfcandjgolfcan
    I thought variance was supposed to be lower in these things. Man, Just off the top of my head of hands that, if held, I'd be like 60% ROI:

    AK < A5 - KK < QQ - AK < A2 - And that's just from tonight.

    And I haven't put a beat on anyone. :(

    yup same with me tonight, donks calling with everything and hitting everything. I was down early to a small stack stayed patient hung in there and got back up but fell short of cashing.

    Hopefully the next games are in my favour.

    you're doing fine, why are you complaining? :P

    also, that last one is supposed to be negative 6,5 right?
