I noticed I've played 2500 games this year!

~1650 games at $3.30. ROI: 9.8% (7.2% EV)
Spoiler

Rest at $5.50. ROI: -0.3% (5.2% EV)

Total ROI: 5.2% (6.2% EV)

I also did some research on my shit run on $5.5s. The numbers are very rough but still. The resulting graph is profit probabilities on 5% ROI $5.5 900 games with 11, 10, 12% ITM places:

As you can see on the graph there's 9% probability to end up with -$23 to $75 profit (my case). On average I should have won around $290 (matches my EV line pretty much). And there is only 25% chance (!) that your results will differ less than 10 BI from the average after 1000 games. Yeah statistics is cool.
looking good, i will be keeping an eye on your blog ![]()
ive just started playing SnGs at full tilt and like you said theres a stack load of multitablers. i want to withdraw my br and change rooms but still cant withdraw ![]()

i play at full tilt 2.25 and 5.50s as well and yes there are loads of multitablers but what i have noticed is many are not very good and actually contribute to my roi. Some of them are just so predictable
thanks thats good to know ♦
@dydukasa
if you get a chance to post how you did your skin for europoker that would be greatly appreciated, looks pretty slick :-)
AKM: Thanks for stopping by!
evertonroar: Yeah I only tried like 150 games on Fulltilt, didn't catch a heater and decided that the site sucks. I was clueless about what volume I should play to get an idea about the games. ![]()
dw00d: I only play turbos $5.5 right now 6 tabling continuously. The traffic is fine for me. At European day and evening times you can load up to 16 tables (8-10 at other time). Same goes to $11 games, then the traffic slows down unless you switch to 5 max games. I haven't tried $22 games but up til that limit every game seems to have 2 (rarely 3) good regs (ROI over 5%) and 1-2 break even or losing regs so the games are very much beatable. Especially the fact that other players are almost clueless cause they mostly come from betting sites.
About modifying Ongames table themes now.
There is a huge thread on 2+2 forum with loads of information or a German thread here. But use them only if you wanna modify yourself or use some extra features. Also most of the links don't work there so better read newest posts first.
The lazy and fastest way to do it is following:
1. Download modified skins file. Chose the one you like from the list on this thread, second post.
2. Extract the chosen skin to C:/Europoker (or bwin, Betfair, or any other Ongame skin) and rename the file from xx_TableImages.swf to TableImagesModified.swf
3. Create a text file in the same directory. Copy this text to it:
@echo off
start starteuropoker.exe
echo Please wait for OnGame Client to load...
pause
copy TableImagesModified.swf TableImages.swf
Rename the file extension to .bat. Create shortcut to it on desktop or anywhere you like.
4. Now use the shortcut instead of old way to run the poker client. It will open two windows: log in screen and a black DOS window with a message. IMPORTANT: first log in, then activate the DOS window and press any key.
And that's it. Now every time you run the new shortcut it will change the swf file. I'm sure there are better way to script this but for starters this will work just fine. Also don't forget that this is for Europoker, edit the bat file for other skins accordingly.

After first 1k break even games at $5.5 I finally hit an upswing! EV is half that but who cares. ![]()
EDIT: Noticed I have enough BI for a few $11s, tried a few and bingo 85% ROI after 25 games. ♦
I don't like posting such small samples but this is by far the steepest curve I've had on all limits.

nice work =D!
i wish the $1 sng's were working out for me. continuous river beats when pushing haha. im only down a few buy ins though from a very small sample so its all good
thanks for posting about the ongame themes
As I'm done for the month, here's a review.
Goals:
Gold status. Read all gold articles and watch videos. (+)
Almost platinum now. The points system is broken ATM.
1200 games. (+)
1262
Move to $5. (+)
Already mixing in $11 games.
Finally buy a bigger monitor and get 6 tabling without mistakes. (+)
Should have bought a bigger one.
Make it to Ongame's rake race. (+)
I'm ~160/222 for $100 now, 1 day left.
Improve heads up play. (-)
Dunno about improvement but I've been running at EV at least.
No sense in posting $ graph from 3 limits so only BIs. The huge upswing at the end is from my shots at $11s hence the good profits this month. Fastactic payback for ~800 BE games in the middle.

Winnings: $597.8 SNGs + $250 reload bonus + ~$30 player points bonus + $100 rakerace = Total ~$978
SNG ROI%: 8.8 (4.4 EV)
Time played: 96.3h
Hourly: $10.16/h (6.21 with out bonuses, 3.21 EV)
Goals for next month:
Improve heads up play.
Stay at $11s.
Pay $600 rake to complete my $500 bonus and qualify for rake race.
Become platinum, read article, watch videos.
Gl bye.
Suddenly felt an urge to table select a bit.

Marked players are all multitablers. ♦

GL next month, crush the $11!
Will do sir. Very swingy though, just hit a 20 BI downer, gotta get used to loosing $200 in one session. :/
The daily bandwidth limit for this customer has been exceeded. Try again after midnight, EST.
Lol, and I wondered why my images don't show up in the thread anymore.
I will move to some other hosting later.
Got my $100 from rakerace, cool free money.
So now I have an ok bankroll for mixing in some $22 cause at every $11 game there are more than 5 multitablers. Regs at $22 seem to be better but there's better % of casual players I think. Already 320 games this month with $320 profit at $320 EV, feels so good to run at EV.

Gratz, i managed to get that too ♦ With only 213 games(mostly 22s, ~35 games 33s and 54s).
I guess you'll easily start grabbing better prizes now since you already can mix in 22s and your volume is quite nice ![]()
Btw, you know when they will credit the money for rake race?

Yeah I posted right after getting it. Last month was also 4th. Next month I'll try for $200 plus $400 from promotion and hopefully some 5% ROI for another 1k month.
very nice thing you've got going on here. i'm just starting to track, calculate, watch, read stuff myself, after a couple of months on FT just wandering. Good luck and keep up the good work.
