MTT Grinders/ Bounty Hunters and Bankroll

[shipitgood]

Just a couple of quick questions, and advice greatly appreciated!

I've never really grinded MTT's exclusively. Most of my volume in 2014 was from cash, and by far most profit came from cash.

In 2015 I want to play more MTT's and have sessions where I only play tournies.

What I was doing in December a lot was grinding 5/7 cash tables + 1 tourney. It was pretty cool, if I FT'ed I just dropped the cash tables  and concentrated on the FT.

My MTT stats for 2014 on scope up till the 27th Dec were 899 games, avg stake £4.52, Avg ROI 43%

The aveage buy in is really low, and disproportionate to bankroll. The lowest stake MTT I play in todays world is £5. These are just fun/ kept me focussed when playing cash.

The games I am best at and enjoy the most are bounty hunters, I love the dynamic and flow of these games.

I was wondering, what bankroll do people feel is decent for BH'ers, given that they are lower variance than regular MTT's.

Also, when you grind MTT's how do you deal with playing different stake games, like 3x £10 games plus 2x £20 games. And do you generally stick to one site?

Like the site I play on, if i'm going to have more MTT sessions, thinking it's prob going to be hard to get a decent schedule from their MTTs only.

Was having a chat with a friend,

Probs going to give 888 a go to get more games over what's available on sky. Probs see how that goes, can always add another site later.

Only thing is with 888, the xchange rate, plus HUDs.

I don't use a HUD, I don't like huds, would I be disadvantaged over someone using a HUD? I suppose it's not as bad with MTTs, (over cash) because people will generally really only have a small sample size.

With the xchange rate, if you buy / sell $$ to ££££ or vice versa, what exchange rate do you go on?

Not sure there is enough tournaments on sky to solely concentrate on tournaments.  I do like the TV ones though.

When I had my stake I started $800, which was increased to $1,200 after a reload and a cash out.  This was for ABI of around $5 and I bust the roll twice.  I was playing 400 games a month and high average runners. I can imagine with sub 500 runner field and lower volume the roll could be a little lower.

I'd recommend using how to learn a hud. I don't like them either but they are the tools of the trade unfortunately.

I just realised after I posted this last night playing £5 games, everytime I play one i'm only making £2, or a £10 one £4 that looks pretty bad. As in it's hardly making any money. You'd need to grind a massive volume at those stakes to make anywhere near decent money.

Probs playing certain £10 games, I can get a really high ROI because they are so soft. There's some good £10 1s from 9:30pm onwards.

Got the £55 one too every night, might need to start playing more satelites! And try and get in as many mains as possible £33.

If I was seriously going to play on other sites i'd probs need to get a HUD.

Might try stars later in the year, but right now don't think I want any massive variance with massive fields. Really need to focus on getting as good at MTT's as possible so I can crush decent buy in games.
