interesting graphics

This is what my ROI% graph looked like on Sharkscope about two months ago. Looking at this told me that I should steer clear of the $5 games, as those were my weakest. I hadn't been playing many $10 games at that point, so those results really reflected last summer/fall when I was concentrating mostly on $10 games.

A few months ago, I was playing the $2 18-person games, and cashing in those regularly. I didn't like all that work for such little reward, so I moved to the $5 18-person games, about a month or so ago. Here's what my ROI% graph looks like today:


...see any difference? ;)

I'd attribute that to playing better, and playing the 18-seaters, where there's a bigger prize pool (and, thus, better ROI when cashing). IMHO they seem easier than the 9-seaters (I've become unfond of the 6-seaters), and typically only take a little bit longer than a 9-seater. I've stepped up to the $10 ones a couple times, but just got smacked around (I don't attribute that to better players, I was just very card dead the 3 I've tried).

I've run kinda bad lately. Well, runnin' bad, and playing poorly. Thankfully my roll hasn't suffered much, as the past 3 nights I've made up most of what I've lost in sit and go / tourny buy-ins by playing .25/.50 limit HU / 3-way. I don't have a huge online roll by any means (though my riverchaser's win from a few weeks back has been super-cool cushion); I'm down $30 from after my RPT win, which isn't great, but the way I've been playing in tournys the past few days it could be a lot worse. Thank god for the fish playing HU limit! Wonder if I should move to .50/1... I think after my next STT win or decent MTT cash I'll give it a whirl.

...the more I think about it, the more excited I get about hitting the Tulalip Casino next weekend!
