I'm interested in what would be a decent ROI at low stakes 50BB no blinds increase tourneys ($5-$20). I was thinking 20-30% with very good players going into 40%+ but I'd like someone who played these to confirm. Please, no hate, I really want to know this
Those ROIs sound pretty accurate.
The guys at the $30-100 level seem to hit high teens to low 30 % areas, so I'd imagine 30%+ is definitely attainable for better players.
Hmm, these winrates really sounds impressive - but won't you have a really poor hourly in these games ?
My personal lifetime winrate in these games is 100% - with just 5 of these games played, and my opponent disappeared in 3 of them after a few hands. The longest of these matches took over two hours, and I never played them anymore since then.
Why should you play 2 hours with 50bb? I mean cashgame you play 100bb without blind increase.
Oh, these were "deep no blind increases" - you have 200 bb, not 50.
And then consider that you're up against a nit - you aren't really making any money from hitting any hands, but from picking up blinds, but your edge is only very small, so it'll take a very long time to grind her down - and then every suckout means you're starting all over again.
And in addition to that, the nit is heavily multi-tabling, thus using the full ten seconds for every single decision.
Even if you win 1.5 bb per minute, the match is still taking over two hours.
Cash, you'd just stand up and quit an opponent like that - but DNBI you have to play it till the end.
