** AM I PAST IT? **STARS SNG CHALLENGE. GUESS THE ROI.

Hi guys.

Struggling with the variance on STARS MTT's (Doing well in Sats but not converting), so I am setting myself a SNG challenge on STARS, starting tomorrow: (Weds 10th August) to "hopefully" lower the variance.

So to give myself a little motivation, I thought I would post something on here now that we are part of PokerStars. Hope that is OK?

Will be playing 18 player SNG Turbos only (2 times 9 player tables) 4 players paid 40%/30%/20%/10%

Mainly $10 a pop, but may go to $25 if doing OK

Aim to play approximately 20-30 SNG's a day.

Will play some MTT's on SKY and STARS too, but only the SNG's will count towards the ROI.

I will have a practice tonight, but the scoring won't start until tomorrow afternoon.

Feel free to post TWO ROI predictions.

One for the $10 games and one for the $25 games, can be negative ROI, if you think I'll make a loss. I won't be offended.

I might even come up with a prize for the closest.

Timescale Midday Weds 10th August to Midday Weds 17th August.

My ID on STARS is GARYTHEROCK

    $10 ROI = 40%
    $25 ROI = 22%

    I have created a little spreadsheet, whereby I just put in my result after each game, and the rest "should" auto populate.

    I'll post the spreadsheet after each session. Here is a sample. ROI's will populate when "non zero" number of games. Anything else needed on it do you think?

    Nice one D!

    I think you guys have more confidence in me than I do, either that, or you are being very kind/generous. :D

    Hi G,

    I’ll say 5 and 4 percent respectively.

    Does anybody have above double digit ROI in these games?

    Not sure yet @Tikay10 there are a few family things that are a bit fluid, so will have to decide nearer the time. I am hoping to be able to go, possibly with my son, Gary, too.

    Probably a few with negative double digits Kev. :D

    Let's hope I don't join them.

    OK, we're off.

    The various nationalities in my first SNG are:

    Germany (3)
    UK (4 including me)
    Greece
    Croatia
    Brazil
    Canada (2)
    Hungary
    Romania (2)
    Mongolia
    Ukraine
    Poland

    Quite an international field in these SNG's. No Russians of course.
