staking request

Iron,

Are you looking for the long term grind or the short term big score?

If more long term then why not play turbo MTTs mixed in with 180's or just go to 180s?

Even I have a >100% ROI at the 2.50s (massively small sample size lol) which kinda says how easy they are.

This sounds like it might have been an idea. The 180's are good for getting back into poker and the non turbos are a not terrible structure for a really cheapy tournament. Maybe something you look at in the future.
