    Default If you guys had $750 dollars....

    If you guys had a bankroll of 750 dollars made by grinding at .05/.10 Limit tables, what tournament tables would you play if you were going to multitable 6 at a time?

    I;m sick of playing cash games I really want to move to tournament.

    I would play 9 man SNG's. I'd probably start with the $5.50 and then move up to the $10+1.

    on stars u can make 2-5$ MTT, aswell if u like 11$ mtt, and there is 12$ 180 Sng, and on SNG, u can make9/18/45 man SNGS, for 6.5$-7.5$, if u like playing for more money 9man SNG is a problem in PS, cuz next level is 16$ Turbo SNG, ofc u can make 10.20$ double or nothing, gl.

    IMO play the biggest tournaments. Ceteris paribus, while large tournaments take longer than smaller tournaments to complete, I've noticed larger tournaments (2k+) only take a "little longer" to make it ITM (i.e get your money back) than smaller field tournaments (~500). But in playing a larger tournament, you give yourself the opportunity to play for A LOT more cash than the smaller tournament.

    Satellites are also good, for obvious reasons. Though I wouldn't play "junk" satellites, e.g satellites w/ $1 buyin to get a $20 entry but only top 5% get paid. On PS, the $2.20 satellite to win $11 looks attractive. 1/5th of the field gets paid, very doable, and $2.20 isn't a big investment to win $11. Though I haven't played it so can't comment further.

    If you're into other games like me, like HORSE, then those are ok to play even though those always have much smaller fields.

    This is how I plan to allocate my BR in the long run, but first, if I can just find a minute in my life, I'd love to play those MiniTop satellites !

    IMO the key is to diversify the risk and tournament selection. Select an optimal mix between large field (slightly higher risk, but bigger return) tournaments, non-junk satellite tournaments (low risk, low return), and if you like, smaller field tournaments (med risk, med return). It's mathematically proven that this sort of allocation maximizes satisfaction (or "utility" in economics) when deciding between what assets to invest in, and I'm sure the result carries over to our discussion.

    on stars. 2.20 turbo sng 180 players. full of fishs. with the right play you can be in the prizes frequently. if your bankroll is higher try the level up, i think its the 4.40.

    I did for a bit, but then turned to cash games. The sup sat takes too long to fill up, made me impatient.

    I did rack up 50 toruny dollars though, thanks!!!

    I havent played it much lately cause my br is big enough to play alot higher, isnt worth the time anymore.
    But my average profit per game was $0.38
    And played 1k + games
    Thats the reason why I played these so much, it took me a while to figure out that the sup sat to double deuce was the best profitable sng for me but when I figured that out it was very easy to build a br without a risk.

    And you now have 750 in such a short time?
    Very nice, I guess cashgames are a better way for you to make quick money

    I could maybe show a profit over 1 million hands of .05/.10 limit. Anything under 5/10 seems pointless.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.
