What is a good sample size for STs to know if one can be successful long term? Also, what is a good expectation for ROI if you're able to beat STs successfully? I'm looking for opinions on all levels under $10, which I'm assuming are easier to beat than those once you get above the $10 level. I suppose the theory is even a small positive ROI is worth it because you can play so many more games in an hour than you can regular or even turbo and therefore your hourly might actually be higher (than in regular speed or turbo) because of this, even though ROI may only be 1% or 2%. Am I painting an accurate picture here?Thanks-Joe
Just try it out at the varaince calculator..A winrate between 0,51 and 0,53 is realistic for the 10 dollar the rake is 0,25 so you need at least a winrate of 0,5125 to break even.i tried it for the 100 where the rake is 2$ and estimated a 1% ROI --> a winrate of 0,515. which led me to result from -150 buy ins to + 30 buyins during a 10k Gamesample. if u play 100 a day. you might be not break even after several month although you are a 1% winner.good luck
I think you'll have an indication after 3k games and a pretty good idea after 5k. I'm not sure what a significant sample would be, perhaps 10k games?
