I would say that number sounds reasonable, but Moshman says for any SNG 100 buy-ins is best. That sounds extreme to me, but the SNG wonks on 2p2 seem to agree.

I would think that 100 buyins is more suited towards 9-man since it is pretty regular to drop 10-15 buyins in a day, but losing that same amount of buyins at HU sngs would be an odd occurrence.
And I'd just take a shot at $500s whenever you feel comfortable. I'm sure you are bright enough to realize not to go broke at the above level so you can always move down if things don't go well. |

That's my gut feeling, too. On the other hand, some statistics geek might have a formula that says my gut is wrong.

Well, that's just it. I could play 5 in a row and win or lose all 5, but that doens't mean I can or can't beat the game. 5 isn't any kind of sample.
I'm confident that I can beat the $500s, but I'm wondering how much my ROI would drop, and if it's worth the larger swings to grind out what may not amount to any additional winnings (and could be losings) at the end of the day. Similar to what Windbreaker said, and I think it's good advice. I think I will continue to primarily play the 200s, but keep an eye on the 500 lobbies. If I see a weak player sit down, I'll take a shot. Zy - your boy Adrian is a HU SNG specialist, right? What's his screen name? |

Oh... and the other consideration here that I didn't really mention... If the reason I am considering moving up is to make more money at the end of the day (and I don't even know what it is, but I guess it's that - I just kind of feel like I "should"), there is another option.
Rather than play the same couple of hours per day that I play now but at higher stakes, I could get off my ass and play MORE at my current levels. 938 matches in 2008 is about 10 per day on average. I could focus on getting that number up to 15 or 20, and then reevaluate down the road sometime. |
