Your assessment of why micros are so easy to beat is spot on. If you're winning and comfortable making the move, do it. Then they move up and ROI goes down etc, but then they get better and so on. Players owning a level move up before they get enough of a sample to see if it was a steady winrate or if they were just running hot.

There's stuff floating around but I assure you it is irrelevant. I assume that as you move up, players don't bust out so stupidly so early, and fixing the small leaks become much more where the profit is made or lost. With that alone, my equity sky rockets even with leaks. Usually 1-3 players bust on in the first couple of levels with hands they never should be playing. I think the games are so weak that perhaps the most important part of the game is how little I've gone out 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. My second and third place finishes basically just make up for the times that I don't make the money. Could someone point me to a post that has some guidelines for ROI and ITM for various levels of sngo play? I assume there is no way you can keep an ITM = 50% as you move up.Īlso, I think what is interesting, is that all of the money I make is essentially by getting fist place. Something I was hoping for was a sense of what you should be running, even if my stats don't mean much being so small. I think you can show a good profit at this level even with modest leaks in your game - I know I have leaks in my shove/fold game and also in knowing when (and when not) to c-bet the flop in the first couple of rounds (when something like AK misses) I also see lots of players who don't know how to play heads up, and lot's of players who don't know how to dominate the bubble when they get a big stack (that's something I've gotten better at, but still could work on). I know I'm probably running hot, and I understand that it is a small sample, but it seems there are a lot of bad players at the $2.00 +0.25 who have no idea what they are doing - lot's of limping, raising and then folding when they should be shoving, folding the SB to the BB when they should be shoving almost any 2, and then getting frustrated with the shove game and calling off with weaker than they should.
