In no way is this meant as a put down to j_fish because I think he is a great player, but you guys seriously still don't get the volume this guy is putting in.

My guess is that his ROI is actually somewhere between 25-50%. I think if he reduced the number of tables he played it would be between 60-80% but he still does so well with the number of tables that he does play that he would end up making less if he did reduce his number of tables.

$10 rebuy on Tilt for $3.75k

Okay then how many MTT's do you play on one day johnny_fish?
And do you happen to know your ROI?

chardrian:
25-50% seems pretty low if we take into account that it seems that he wins a big tournament every other day or so )
but of course 25% at these buy-ins would still be extremely good.

I tried to be johnny_fish for 3 days last week, played 120 tourneys and made 3K, ROI was like 50%. Oh yeah, forgot to post in here, Stars 109, 5/486, $2700. I would guess j's volume is slightly less than what I did, but he plays higher stakes so he probably risks more than 2K/day.

another small amount. but big for me.

2nd place for $288 in 2.5k Headhunter on WillHill.

bloke sucked out on me for first on my J-J but, meh, i'm happy.

stars 20-20-20

43k... that is pretty phenomenal man

The 109R is such a ridiculous tournament, out of the 22 names on that list, I recognize 17 of them as being big winners, and 2 of the others are randoms who have played like 100 tourneys lifetime all of the 109R's or 215+ so they're as likely as not to be multi-accounters. Someone as good as Sauce probably does have an edge in the 109R (assuming he has a basic understanding of tourney poker) but most of the regs are just passing money around to each other and not beating the rake in the long run.

I took the day off from studying and I'm glad I did.

1/399 in the FT $150 tourney for almost $15k.

Very nice chard and sauce!

Hi This forum has helped me tremendously on my MTT game (especially aokrongly's post on patience & pacing), so a big thanks goes to ALL of you! I started with a $94 bankroll on 1/30/08, and I think I'll be playing MTT's/satellites exclusively (with a SNG here and there). Anyway, here are some of my recent winnings, all on Full Tilt:

2/2920 ($.10 buyin + $.50 rebuy tourney) = $220
1/180 ($2 + .25 SNG) = $97
1/526 ($3 + $.30 turbo/KO tourney) = $329

I played in a $50 tourney (bad bankroll management) after my first win and lost quite a bit on some full ring games, so my bankroll is only $514 right now (with a $26 tourney token). I realized cash games are very -EV for me b/c I go on tilt easily, which is the reason why I'll be playing MTTs. Anyway, just thought I'd give a positive testimonial for the MTT strategies on this forum.

Stars 50-50-50, 4/261, 2.4K
FTP $150 55K, 3/460, 7.9K

ruh roh - here comes the dr. dog.

I guess calling has some merit.

UB $1.10 Rebuy and Addon. 7 rebuys, a double addon, 336 players and 6 hours later.

First place - $359.38!

Also first time I've come first in an MTT.

Feels g000000t to win don't it?

Oh yeaaaaaaah.

Ship ship.

Total change of topic.... I am currently on break since I didn't take a J term class and so between now and the 27thish I will probably be playing a good 4+ hours a day of poker. I played a bunch of MTT's yesterday including the $1k tuesday special on stars and the $100 rebuy on there. I just have ran like total crap in MTT's the last year or so and they are really pissing me off. For the most part I am going to focus on cash games the next few months and lay of the MTT's.

Heres to a good January,
Gambool

I just heard. Well done, aces! Awesome! Congrats.

Thanks Xianti.

biggest cash ever too, but a little bit smaller

1/1429 250k gtd on T6poker, 50k € (about 73k $)

This is fresh. I don't post much here (more on 2+2), but I intend to post more, especially in HSNL. Whatever, I owe some of this money to this community, especially for the begginning of my poker journey. So, ty FTR.

wheeeeeeeee!!!

almost 6 hours to the dot, 1 PM eastern US to 7 PM. we played HU for about 10 minutes, I had a ~7-1 chip lead and managed to suck out 55 vs QQ. if he had won that pot it would have been 700k him 500k me with 8/16k blinds so maybe it could have taken another 30 minutes or so max. We also went from 4 handed to HU really quick.

i think he meant double stack not deep stack. either way, congrats on the win.

I've final tabled the FTP 20R three days in a row. First two times I went out in like 6th but today I finished 2/238 for 2.8K.
