The Exercise

[Trikflow77]

After reading and betting against the one and only gigabet, i think i want to try the exercise that he is doing. To give you some background, he put up 10k on himself that he could start out with 165 dollars and play 100 sngs at each level (starting at the 11's) and move up after he played 100 all the way to the 215s. At any time if he goes broke he loses the bet, if he plays the 600 sngs and still had a br, he wins. I think i am going to try this, but i personally believe one would have to run very hot early to be able to complete this task. I am going to start this next week i believe and complete it or go bust in 1 month. This way i can still play my normal hours and have this as a side project. Anyone think this is possible?

i think you can do it - but if you don't, can I have the $10K?

but seriously, the way you play would probably have to be adaptive to your opps, which will be significantly different at the various levels. But I think you could do it... hell of a lot better than I could....

What site are you going to play at? PS?

[Trikflow77]

no...has to be done at party....at least that is the way he is doing it. It would be much easier on stars with 1500 chips and 0minute levels.

he ran super hot at the 11s
super super hot.

[Trikflow77]

he ran super hot at the 11s
super super hot.

i know the first 50 he had a -5% roi...did he run hot the next 50?

[vqc]

he ran super hot at the 11s
super super hot.

i know the first 50 he had a -5% roi...did he run hot the next 50?

well i see him one tabling an 11 right now

i thought he ran alot better than that...

[vqc]

this is hilarious, the big stack at the table is really picking on his blinds.

I'd have to look at a hypothetical... What is your ROI a given level of play? Let's say you have a 24% ROI at $11, and that ROI decreases as you go up. Maybe you can pwn for more than 24% at the lower levels.

$11 24%
$22 23%
$33 21%
$55 18%
$109 14%
$215 12%

That's probably off... but it could be used for purposes of this calculation:

Then to start, we must assume that your 100 SnGs at each level is a representative sample of you playing ability.

Your starting BR:
$165 (15 buy-ins)

After 100 $11 SnGs, with 24% ROI, you have $429. (19.5 Buyins)
After 100 $22 SnGs, with 23% ROI, you have $935. (28.3 Buyins)
After 100 $33 SnGs, with 11% ROI, you have $1628. (29.6 Buyins)
After 100 $55 SnGs, with 18% ROI, you have $2618. (24.0 Buyins)
After 100 $109 SnGs, with 14% ROI, you have $4144. (19.3 Buyins)

If you look at Buy-ins available to start each new level... you actually have the fewest at the beginning (only 15 buyins start off). Just looking at those numbers it would seem like starting off might be one of the toughest points. If you have a serious down swing to start off you are going to be in fairly deep shit if you don't hit a heater somewhere in the first 200 SnGs. Assuming you don't hit a massive downswing... I think by far the toughest thing, would be to finish it all off at the $215s. You have a very limited number of buyins and it is going to have the lowest % payback. Very tough stuff...

I think that's where you are most likely to run into trouble... but can you do it? Sure... it'd be cool as hell to get the reports.

Well...gigbet completed the first 100....there are his results as stated by him on 2+2.......

finished the 11s...roi is -2.73 for a net loss of $30.00.

i guess the shoelaces will have to wait.

I would venture to say that a good part of his problem at the $11s was he isn't used to playing against calling stations/really bad players. Seems like the transition back to the $11 level would be extremely difficult for a high-level player that's used to playing against knowledgable opps......

So, for vqc this IS super hot!

hell ya batch, he almost broke even.

[Trikflow77]

he did beat the rake...damn that rake

I did a search for him earlier this evening. Saw he was on 4 tables (22s)and decided to have a look. In about 20 mins, I saw him finish 1,3,2,1. By the way, he sucked out ai several times and his med pockets always won the race. Guess with that $300 his roll is breathing a little easier. Also, he was mixing it up a lot -- calling raises with junk, limping junk, slowplaying, and doing so at all levels of the tourny.
