Good morning, all.

Lately, I've been running pretty well and wanted to get some feedback. Is there much difference between the $5 STT and $10 STT on Stars? I have a fairly small sample size, but here are my results...

Game: $5.50, STT
Games Played: 108

1st: 22
2nd: 14
3rd: 16
OOM: 56

ITM: 48%
ROI: 38.6%

I have enough for 25 buy-ins to the $10 tourneys, but should I keep grinding the $5's until I have about 40 buy-ins?

Any comments are appreciated!

move up.

Competiotion will not be noticably different

fwiw, my ROI and much better in 20's than 10's, and 30's is the best (but too small of a sample)

you are crushing it so far...


decide on an amount of BankRoll you will allow yourself to get down to before moving back to 5's.

I would think 20 Buyins is verry safe ~ $110, given your track records so far.

Thanks Actuary

Bought into my first $10 STT and won it


edit..
Won 2 out of 5!

Took my winnings from the 2 SNG's and won the $22 SNG on stars!

Tourney: 23890798

whoa..slow down tiger!..
nice work though

Yeah, I saw that in a thread in General... nice work dude...

That was the 180-man right? So that's what, a little better than 1K...

Congrats.

However, Actuary is right.... don't jump the gun and move up too quick now, because of your success. Stick with the $11s for a set number or something like that and make sure you are beating them over the long run. I suggest something like 100 SNG's or something like that.

Yeah, I had no business buying into the $22 SNG. I was half loaded last night reading the message boards when Ansel posted about the tourney. Really wanted to play a tourney with someone from FCP.

For the record, Ansel is a WAY better poker player than I am.

I immediately cashed out $800 from that win and will stick with the $10 SNGs for a while.

It's nice to get lucky like that every once in a while, taking a shot.

I'm sure you know not to do it often, but we're just here to make sure

50 buy-ins would be better.
