You can still end up with a roi of 10%, if ya run golden 19% roi is a bit sick. Thanks for posting the stats JJ, cant see how i will hit 750 games. Posted by freechips1
Y?
R u playing only turbos?
If you're striving for 750 games u can play sum micro hypers, they run as low as 1 quid buy ins.
But if I were u I'd just carry on printing dosh like u are!!!
Played a few hypers but i think the edge you can have is smaller for the obv reasons. Still gonna keep 750 as a target just to force me to play. Can i keep up such a high ROI over a larger sample? This may sound a bit dumb but have you ever lost one of these on purpose? Played a few bad ish semi regs, if they lose 1 they quit. If they win the first 1 they will then be happy to play a few. Im sort of on the fence with this as i dont wanna lose a game but if they will then play another 7. thoughts?
In Response to Re: "Sit & DOHHHHHHH Diary" *Shot taking disaster & ROI challenge update* : Well if you play 99 games @ £1 & lose them all your ROI over that sample is -100%, Then your last game you play a £1,000 buy in & win you're massively in profit overall...., but it doesn't have the same impact on your ROI, as it's only 1 game in a 100 game sample where your ROI is +100% But over the 100 game sample your combined ROI is gonna be like -98% Updates to follow when my head stops spinning Posted by DOHHHHHHH
I thought it was a case of (using your example), investment = £1099, then your return is £2000 (from that 1 game) so you're won twice what you invested so you're return on investment must surely be positive. Where am I going wrong?

Because on skope its the Average ROI. So you take the average of, 99 times of -100% and the 1 time 90% (i think thats what 1 win is)
Just got in a nice quick session, 9 games all against the same guy (£3.15s) and I won 6 of them.
Funny because I was gonna post here and say that no-one ever wants to play me more than once, they always reject my rematch offer, but this guy just kept coming back for more.
Had a bit of a losing session the other day but my tally overall now stands at:

How r u finding the ratio between time invested & profit made compared to playing nl4?
Or is that a pointless question?
I'd deffo suggest that any competent players who 'should' be "too good for nl4" use the HU sng route to help build a bankroll as ur edge is just so big and it should be alot quicker,.....
------
Must admit I'm becoming abit bored with the hypers, that's alot down to the disaster I had last week taking shots, I know kinda feel I can't go any further with them, even though I know I can and the shot taking thing was all my fault....
But it's a mental game and I'm questioning myself alot.
Might switch to some cash tonight for a change but dunno, still gotta get 750 games in.

Well as you've basically said yourself, the difference in terms of time/profit is pretty big. I got them 9 games against that guy done in maybe 30-40 mins ish (1tabling against him), so only took me that amount of time to win 2 BIs at 4nl, and that's 1tabling compared to my 4-6tabling of cash. Not to mention the obvious much faster poker points but that doesnt make a big difference to me.
Reckon it could be quite lucrative, obviously when you can win fast, you can also lose fast, but I aint come up against a single player yet where I've been feeling under pressure.
Not been going well over the past few days. Hows it been for you? After seeing the thread about tracking software not too sure about playing HU. If any of the torbo HU regs have been using this they will have a massive edge.

Hi Fail, I'm well up for that. I can't do tonight but I can do any weekday evening from abuot 7pm onwards. I've been playing the £3.15 ones but I don't mind if you wanna go a bit smaller at £2.10. I'm still pretty new to these myself and HU in general so I wouldn't give me too much respect lol... if I shove, I've got it
Hows it going for JJ? Half way into the month and i seem to be standing still. I havent become bored with these yet, just getting me down a little that im not making any money. Any chance of a update?
probebly the most stupid question you have been asked. what is ROI? Posted by nug82
As Acidman said, it's Return On Investment, which is profit divided by outlay. Sharkscope using a stupid "Average" ROI which is the average of each individual ROI which is silly when poker is a long term game...

I agree on the SS ROI thing... after someone explaining to me why you can be in profit and still have a negative ROI, I never understood it because it isn't possible (if you actually worked out ROI properly) but yeah.

So do you want a few HU games fail? Posted by Lambert180
Hey Lamby, I'm trying to get a decent DYM session in tonight, but I can play either tomorrow or Wednesday : )

Ok no worries, well good luck with your DYMs.
I was well annoyed abuot 30 mins ago, booted up 3 x £3.15 HU games and my computer **** froze for ages and the speed of the blinds if someone just raises every hand once they see you're away, it takes a matter of minutes to win one like that so I just lost 3 quick out of my control.
