Just a quick update. I haven't been 10-tabling much lately as i'm trying to clear the Empire bonus. I've cleared about 700 raked hands out of 2,000 and i'm up about $80 which isn't bad. Once I clear the bonus i'll put everything into party and by then i should have enough of a roll not to need to play any NL25.

I cleared the empire bonus which added a nice chunk of change in my pocket, unfortunately i had to withdraw a fair amount out of my poker bankroll to get a new laptop (i need one for Uni). The 10-tabling project didn't go as well as i'd hoped and altho i did manage to stay positive (~3ptbb/100 over 20k hands) i expected higher results. Perhaps it was a bad swing of variance or perhaps it was a flawed strategy from the beginning, i'm not sure, but i'll definitely revisit it and try again in a few weeks time.

As for now, i'm clearing the 200e bonus on heypoker, another of the B2B network. It's going fairly well - i'm actually trying out a strategy similiar to the one Chris Ferguson outlined in his podcast - buying in shortstacked and leaving the table whenever i have doubled up. Although this isn't an orthodox shortstack strategy as i will sometimes raise it up with hands like QTs to get the blinds, or push with 2s if I think i can get them to fold. So far it's shown promising results and i'm up about 40e with 300vip points cleared.

53 Sngs at the $11s, ROI = 4.3%
16 Sngs at the $22s, ROI = 68.8%

Just goes to show the extremities of variance.

and extremities doesnt ONLY mean limbs.

And yeah I gave up the 10-tabling madness for now, it was killing me. I did remain positive tho so i suppose that's all good.

I'm mixing in playing sets of 8 or 10 $11 SNGs into the mix now too and so far it's going far better than i could've expected. These are my results for the past 60 SNGs i've played:

First - 11
Second - 13
Third - 13
Fourth - 8
Fifth - Tenth - 15

Roi: 81.8%
ITM: 61.7%
$/hr: 70.91

The 10-tabling project didn't go as well as i'd hoped and although i did manage to stay positive (~3ptbb/100 over 20k hands) i expected higher results

So let's say 70 hands/hr x10 tables = 700 hands/hr at 3PTB/100 = 21PTBB/hr

And this is somehow bad?

Even on the 10c/25c tables this is $10/hr + bonuses and rakeback (at a guess 700 hands should brings in at least as much again in bonus/RB?).

$20/hr for tiny risk is OK I think..
