I counted how much my roll was at yesterday and it was $16k but i still decided to carry on playing with an avergae buy in of $120 where i really should have a roll of $24k to play.

again im not best placed to say, but Im pretty sure an av buyin of $120 you need ~$100k. Not wanting to piss on the bonfire or anything I wish all the best, but i been living in the midst of MTT variance for years and I've seen the horrors first hand! Would be cool to see what some of the guys think actually, Trigg/Brammer/Shrewdie/camel or anyone else ITT?

Anyways great start to the year wpwp, add me if you have skype would be cool to chat hands or w/e (not that im any good at donkaments lol)

i think hes grinding on euro sites, so can prolly get away with a way smaller roll as fields tend to be much weaker and smaller.

What kinda schedule you playing and on what sites?out of interest

A 20% ROI player will be a loser over a 3,000 tourney sample almost 26% of the time. That’s much higher than I’d expected, and it’s the sort of number that should scare the shit out of prospective and current MTT professionals–If you want to play MTTs for a living, you better either put in a ton of volume, play really well, or be prepared to be a slave to variance (and nobody’s actually prepared for that).
