As far as what hands, its a blind bet.....

Average roi on 5.50's Id say the average 5.50 player has an ROI of -20%
Ok. But what is a decent average ROI% in a $5.50? Like what is a sustainable ROI% at these stakes that I should shoot for?

And straddling is a poop move, just as I suspected.
Staddling is OK if you know how to adjust to the different structure better than the rest of the table. It also help to create more action, but it's very -ev unless the rest of the table is doing it. That's all I know on that.

The average ROI in a $5.50 is -10%, since the rake is 10%. I don't know how good you are, but 10% should be possible, go check out Taipan's guide to low buyin sitngos in the sitngo forum.
Ok thanks. I've already looked at his guide. Just getting my feet wet in the $5.50s. I'm pretty sure 10% wont be that hard.
