That graph looks nice. Like the profit you have made. How long did it take to play all these games. For some may be nothing, but 600 that i see there is a good number. You dont have big bumps, going downwards. That means you can have a steady increase of your profit, in the future. Very nice, keep it up.

100 is fine as long as my ROI is 5% or higher at any given level. Currently at 20% from 700 games at the $1... and I don't expect that to drop too much through the $3's and into the $7's
Hoping to get to $300 by 1,500 games at $1, which will take a little less than a week... then hoping I can run at 15% ROI or higher at the $3's, then 10% or higher at the 7's

Posted by yout85: Is anyone else grinding these exclusively?
not exclusively but now and then for fun. you can quickly make some money but its also more luck depending then other formats - so ups and downs can be huge.

i dont know what others are expecting as a good result, but for me it is a very good one And it looks like youtb has done his planning, for the change of the levels. Its not a rush decision that can easily cost him money.
I have tried to beat this format when it came out. It's hard because it's hard to know which player is just shoving random 2 cards... By then the blinds have already gone up and yiou're left with like 10 BB lol
It's really hard to make your skills shine... It's really more about pre flop play and getting lucky when the chips go in pre flop. If they would offer spins with 1000 chips instead of 500 I would play them a lot more!

It's mostly down to push/fold ranges.... Quite easy to learn and stick to specific rules. Post flop play is less important... but still needed for the first couple of levels.
Mober... I don't think anyone is suggesting that the results aren't good... just correctly stating, that it's a small sample size, and that large swings are possible.
I know I have a huge skill advantage at the $1 level... and hope that doesn't diminish too much when I move up.
------------ Another decent night... Only a few more sessions like this and I'll be moving up to the $3

The less BBs you have the less your skills can shine through. I think this whole format is made so that people bet and 3bet a lot pre flop, so that the games last like 5 min on average and therefore you pay more rake. They're trying to make poker pure gambling basically. And unlike other formats, they don't offer normal/turbo/hyper/deep stack etc. They don't want to because people wouldn't play the shallow stack ones.

Wow. Nice graphs! Very well played. I don't think I can deal with the roller coaster ride of these high variance games. So painful! We are eagerly looking forward to hearing many more great deals about your success sometime soon.

Yea i agree that the sample is not that big, but its not that small either You are having a nice run and this is a line that anyone would like to see, in their graphs Lets hope it will be the same in the 3$ games too.
