    Default Time to get serious!!!

    Well guys, I think I have finally done it.
    Thanks to al the help from FTR and about 50 million hands.
    I have a slight clue. So you must be ready to ask why are
    posting a question???

    I am ready to build my killer Bankroll and get serious. But
    I have a minor delima. My training and ups and downs have put
    me at about $400.00. Which is not to bad considering I only
    put in about $150 and I have actually cashed about $400. For
    the ocasional WTF (I earned it). This may seem like small
    potatos to you guys. But it represents about 9 solid months
    of hard work at $5 + $1 Sng and $.25 $.50 limit and countless
    Low buyin MTTs. But I only just recently got to be consistant. I have learned a ton. But I need a bigger roll.

    My question is this... I have heard so many people say $10 + 1 SnG
    on Party is the way to go. But I have a decent ROI on $.25/$.50 limit.
    Around 35%. I think I am rolled enough to bump to $.50/$1. But I just
    wonder if I should do the Sng thing to Build up to around $1k and give
    $2/4 a go. I keep doing the math and SnG just doesn't seem much faster.
    Let me know if I am way off.

    SnG
    If your ITM% is 40% at $10+1
    You win about $33 4 out of 10 times. ($33 being the AVG of 1st - 3rd)
    your investment is $100 and a return is $132
    ROI% = 32%
    If you play one at a time this is representative of about 6 to 7 hours.
    only about $5/hr.

    Ring.
    ROI% = 35%
    2.5BB/hr X 2 tables = $2.50/hr

    Am I comparing apples to oranges or what? From the looks of it
    Sng is the way to go!

    Thanks in advance folks.

    why no NL ring?
    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    keep playing limit if that's what you like. Don't listen to everyone else. You can earn more playing ring games than in SnGs.
