Are you sure the concept of ROI is applicable here? I've heard that ROI applies only to tournaments, not cash play. I play cash limit.I haven't played live NL yet simply because I'm leery of the variance. At 2/5 limit the most I can lose in one hand is $56, and that's only if every round of betting is capped. At NL, in order to avoid being a shortstack a**hole, I have to buy in for at least 100 bb, which is $200 at the 1/2 game available around here, and stand to lose the whole $200 in one hand--or more, if I already doubled up through an all in and lose to a bigger stack on the second all in.
The big issue with live play is expenses--transportation and food, mostly. I've yet to figure out how to manage expenses properly so my net profit is actually a net loss.
Let me know if you have further comment.
dont just hear, SEE. u bring $100 to casino, you leave casino with $150. investment in casino session? $100, profits? $50, returns on investment AKA ROI therefore is 50%. this is applicable to everything else, not only poker tourneys/SNG. u can use it in shares/properties etc.
yes there are expenses, u cant count food since u have to eat anyway. u also need to quantify the fun factor which cannot be equatable in terms of $ and cents. some people like me prefer to do it gamer style because we are so used to playing games. now it's just playing a game that pays. sitting there grinding out the $ is easy gamee. sure we take forever to make $50, but heck, beats playing WOW and paying for monthly supscription yeahhh. i get to really PK someone by busting their stacks not just killing some virtual character that can revive anyway.
omg youre platinum...what happened? dont you play a lot at nl100?
