ITM% at low stakes?

what do you think is the highest sustainable ITM% at the micro's? is 75% ITM wishful thinking or can it be done?i would think 2/3 ITM or about 67% is sustainable... awhile ago a very good HU player told me he was beating the 10's at 75% ITM. i honestly didn't believe him but now i wonder if such numbers can be achieved?

I don't know, but I am pretty

I don't know, but I am pretty sure 75% is impossible. Only way probably are low stakes superstack.And tbh it really doesn't matter, because every winning player will move up as high as he can and makes profit.

yea, you shouldn't even care

yea, you shouldn't even care about this. You should just care about getting better then moving up, trying to max your winrate a lowstakes seems both boring and horribly inefficent.

66% sounds fairly reasonable

66% sounds fairly reasonable as the upper end of lower stakes regular speed structure games.  Of course it's nothing that will help you improve your game, but not every single question has to be strategical and game improving.

thx 4 the response ev1... was

thx 4 the response ev1... was considering just sticking with the $5.25 4player shootouts, if you could win 75% of each match with solid play. complete 10 games/day would be $1,800/month and i would be happy with that.about 66% is what i would expect also so i guess i will move up and continue to improve my game with the help of this site.

I just want to stress that

I just want to stress that 66% is what I would term about the maximum achievable winrate.By no means should learning, newer, non professional players use that number as a realistic target, you'll too often be sorely disappointed.Put it this way, if there was a prop bet, something like 66% winrate would be a good target for a high stakes pro to shoot for during the prop bet.I'd look more for a 60% winrate to be realistic for a good low stakes player that is learning and aspiring to move up and is putting in 20+hrs of quality volume each week.  More is possible, sure, but realistically shoot for 60%.  Besides, if you're winning over 60% it's very likely that you're effectively burning money in the near future if you're not moving up.
