could some one tell me how you can have an roi of 30%  after 400 games and still be £200 down, probably a very simple answer but im thick and cant work it out, cheers for any advice

Win a big tourny for a small buy in -

say primo 3.7k win for £33 bu-in then lose say 10 200 Hu games. you lose more high buy-in games basically

yep like i thought, dud poker player

Can I assume it's your sharkscope pod? If so I think the answer is on there. It is the average ROI of each stake combined, not total overall ROI. If you look at the graph it shows which stakes played were the most profitable for you as ROI.

tnx elsadog, i only have the 5 free results to look at, so no graph. think i will have to put my hand in my pocket and pay for the whole picture. speculate to accumulate!!!!!!

Hi Pod

I think I'm right in saying you will have a graph. Your name is underlined I think, and if you click it you should get three graphs come up. The middle one I think shows your performance at the lower stakes which is very impressive. You fall down at the higher stakes.

Cheers pod and Happy New Year

just done that mate and wow, it does open your eyes. sticking to 3-10 from now on me thinks, what do you think are the main differences in the game elsa from that level to the 10-30 buy in mtts

Can't say im an expert Pod but having dabbled all over the levels i would say that extracting value from you tends to be the difference. Willing to make a call to a raise with a speculative hand and extracting the maximum when it hits.

nice advice aces, confidence and conviction on the tables my new motto for 2010!!!

In your case it's possibly volume. By that I mean you should hope to achieve a cash rate of about 12-14% of games played to be profitable. If you play 100 games at £3 = £300 and cash in 12% it will show ahealthy ROI made up of small and large cash placings. If you only play a small number of £30 buy-ins, say 8 you will spend £240 and probably not have a substantial cash to offset your investment based on a 12-14% cash rate.

Instead of hopping from low to high stakes and back again, try going up one level and play a large enough number to get a truer feedback. If it shows a profit move up another level and so on........ if it's within your comfort zone.

Hope that makes sense.

Looking at your graph you have about 25-30 games at an average of $60 buy-in. Although the graphs are not time-scaled I summise that this is where your negative cash is based.

makes perfect sense as usual alan tnx again and have a good new yr

too much red wine on those days alan $60 wasted2 bottles of £10 bottles of wine= shoulda took wife out , it would of been cheaper

If you'd missed all the high level games you'd be $1,500 positive.
