The proposalSo, I'm now back playing SNG's again, for those that don't know, spent most of 2010 grinding them and did well playing 45's, I'm now playing 180's and have been doing good so far. I'm currently backed by James "MC" Atkin to play 180's but hope to be playing back on my own dime soon, he was happy for me to inc these in my schedule but other than Sunday's they rarely run so it would take a lot longer to ride out variance and thus could swing results pretty severely if I was to mix them in and run bad. So I am looking to sell 100% for a 50/50 split to play the $35 180's on Sundays. I would be proposing starting with $2k to play them and will play them every Sunday, playing everyone that runs for around 10 hours at peak time for at least the next three months and I won't leave whilst still in MU. The 35's are tough and I wouldn't have a huge edge in them but I do believe I do have an edge in them, I'm currently playing 3r/8/15's and I'm up around $6k from 3k games ( sharkscope has me closer to 7k but this is wrong due to how they work out the rebuys)
VarianceI'd just like to make a couple of points regarding variance in these. Currently the #1 player on the scope leaderboard for all 180 mans is down $4k over 2k games for these this year, now there's a few reasons why that could be but he's clearly a very good sng player and that's how he's done this year at them. On the otherhand, the biggest winner in these this year has made over 20k in just 1k games but has played 7k games at lower stakes making just over $1 a game and I wouldn't say he's one of the best regs in these games. I've put 2k as a starting amount, this equates to 57 games and since 200 bi downswings are fairly common in the lower stakes which are easier games, then it's certainly possible that we could need to reload multiple times.
Also, I will be mixing these in with my usual schedule and will be grinding 20-24 tables, something that I've done for a while and manage fine with but the odd misclick does happen.
So starting with $2k, selling 5% minimum...
10% = $200
5% = $100

Cheers and flame away.
PS I've posted on 2+2 to find out average numbers for how many of these run weekdays and Sundays, I proposed just Sundays as they run more often but can inc for every session if more than a handful run as obv means can level out variance quicker.
