    My best streak in these was the first 9 I played, in which I cashed in all 9. My worst streak is 4.

    As I mentioned in another thread, they are much more difficult now than they were.

    You mean standard S/G's? If so I agree 100%. Still good but not like 2-3 years ago
    It's not how many pots you win, it's what's in them that counts.

    I've played over 100 now and ...

    Cashing streak = 10 games
    Losing streak = 3 games

    nakamura is the early leader in the clubhouse for the 100+ club...lol.

    these are tightening up rather quick, i agree with you, rage. but, they are still money in the bank....god forbid you get a little luck running with you, too.

    Just had a ridiculous 14 game win streak this morning. Not sure about the losses, probably somewhere around 6 or 7.

    meh. but, a pretty safe way to build a roll if youre somewhat short.

    i would say to shoot for 60-65% ITM, and you can get by on a 20 BI roll fairly safely...hell, maybe shorter.

    anyone else think this it out of line?

    The $5 tables are genuinely easy. Lots of fish and idiots knocking themselves out quick. I'm sure this is similar for the lower stakes tables. The $10 tables are getting much harder now and are filled with regs.

    Yeah the $10s have definitely increased in difficulty recently if you play during the day. You really have to be good at bubble play/playing with <10x bb. I noticed though on Friday and Saturday night the fish come out in force. My two longest win streaks came on Weekend nights. I love when people return from the bar playing Double or Nothings Doublevision!

    lol. i now have a 9 down. i lost 3 flips, had 3 70+'s go against me, and got virtually blinded away due to cold decks.

    so, we are 8/9 now.

    anyone cranking serious volume here?

    should we also ask what our ROI's and ITM's are for the levels we are playing?

    i am curious to see how hot some players are running with over 250-300 of these in the till.

    me....374 in. 59% ITM and 14% ROI. i was over 60% for a bit, but fell back under after my 9 in a row spank-job. pythonic has an ROI of about 16% with an ITM of 61% through about 500 of these things. there's two of us.

    next......

    I don't play a huge volume of these, but my stats so far are:

    165/267 = 62% ITM
    ROI = 19%

    They're definitely getting tighter each day. I had a table earlier with 150/300 blinds, and all 10 players still left in.

    how do you look at your stats for strictly these?

    i hate when they get this tight. it becomes a crapshoot. and, THAT is when they get boring.

    there are some other guys (at the other site) that are 20-tabling these things. some of them have already logged 6k of them in 60 days. gee, i wonder why the fish are disappearing so fast....

    ....damned frist.

    Since I bought PT3, the only $5 buy-ins I've played have been the DoNs, so I just filter them by buy-in. I'm not sure how you would do it if you've played some $5 normals too. I think the filtering in PT3 is quite poor.

    Before I bought it, I used to keep all results in a spreadsheet, and I could filter them how I wanted.

    You should purchase Tourney Manager. It allows you to filter results based on several options including buyin + rake, table size, etc.

    I just had my best day playing the $5 Dons: 11 wins in a row. ROI=24.3%
    ITM=67.1%
