The "Gambling problem" I'm referring to is the way you can suddenly chuck all the Bankroll management out of the window and the reasons behind it. Do you get a buzz from the increased risk ? or are you just overestimating your ability and assuming that it is going to pay off.?
The speed you went from 26$ to >200 was amazing , however this was achieved by an ultra high risk strategy which ultimately came to a halt when the inevitable happened.
with the SNG you are playing ...are they the conventional ones or the double or nothings. If the DON's on stars , theres some that are 1$+.1 and some that are 1$+.2. No need paying extra rake when you can avoid it.
The DON's may be the best way to start. If you estimate that through edge from experience that you can cash in 60% over the 1000 tourneys you'd make $1200 from winnings , lose 1000 on the entry fees and pay 100$ in rake so would make 100$. If you pay 0.2$ in rake per game you break even.
