Miracle on 5th Street? More money then skill: A bankroll story...

Ok, here is my question

I have been playing $1 and $2 18-man SNGs on FT for a couple months. I have had what I would expect to be normal beatings from Mr. Variance, but getting to the point where solid poker is +EV for me is complicated when Mr. Cluetrain calls down my KK with J3o (because his girlfriend likes the hand) and rivers a set. This is not a bitching post, I don't want it to be, I just wanted to illustrate the field.

I have the means to roll myself into higher limits, but like I said, I have only really been playing for a few months now, and was curious if I would see better play at the 5-10 range?

I know what is coming.. "donks give you the wins" and they do, I think, to a certain point, but when you have to adjust your play to the point you are playing the lottery sometimes, it just doesn't seem to balance out.

Ideas?

You get Donks at all levels... To be honest if you raise correctly etc... And bet well... You should keep donks off your hands... But it happens one of them things about poker... There is not bullet proof hand!

I have a question, if I have $200 in my roll, is playing $10 1 table SNGs overkill?

To answer your question - yes I think you will find that the players in the 5-10 range are better than those in the $1-2 games.

If you can afford it move yourself up the to $5 games - burt more important - study sng strategy.

Are you beating the low levels with the donks that call off with 5 outs?

If not then moving up is most likely throwing money away.

Yeah, I am able to cash in roughly 2/3 of the games, pending minor flux of course.

I have started playing 10NL on FT as well as bumping up to the $5.50 STT SNGs and I think im having better runs (lots of cardschat and sklansky helping me here)

Thanks for the advice guys, see ya all at the final table
