Oops, clicked enter I guess and posted before I was quite done. Anyways, I may post a few hands here or there, but that won't be my main objective. My main goal is to work to improve to a successful MTTer. Playing the single tables will hopefully help stabilize my bankroll somewhat and feed my poker cravings when I'm not able to spend multiple hours at a given time.
So, since setting out to do this, I've played 69 tourneys. Here's the breakdown:
$1.20 9 player - 36 tourneys, profit $9.90, ROI 23%, ITM 44%
$1.10 45 turbos - 15 tourneys, profit $4.50, ROI 27%, ITM, 13%
$1.10 90 turbos - 14 tourneys, profit $-9.96, ROI -65%, ITM 14%
$3.40 9 player - 3 tourneys, profit $3.30, ROI 32%, ITM 67%
$3.40 10 turbo - 1 tourney, profit $11.60, ROI 341%, ITM 100%
Bankroll: $85.78
If the numbers don't quite add up, I've donked around with 2NL cash for a few mins here and there and won a few bucks.
So my first impressions after trying the 90T's is that I'm surprised I haven't hit a big finish yet. I've hit a couple just inside the bubble and a few just outside the bubble. I'm glad that playing at this low level I can actually feel free to make the correct plays around the bubble without feeling like I HAVE to cash. It still sucks to lose after you've been in this tourney for almost 2 hrs and you go out 16th or something. But when I'm playing for a buck, it's not like I'm going to be happy with making $2.20 (which is just doubling your buy-in). You really have to hit about 5th place ($6.30) or higher before it's meaningful to your bankroll.
