I am a low limit player (since my bankroll does not exceed even $50) so I have been experimenting around a bit. I have tried almost every possible type of game out there (ring games, zoom, MTTs and STTs).
I have come to the conclusion that my biggest edge is when I play with the same group of people for extended periods of time (ring games or STTs). I'm assuming it is because after playing I get a decent feel of how my opponents play, and if I stick around and play with them I can utilize my reads without (hopefully) giving away too much myself.
So after playing and keeping track of my statistics now I know for sure that I excel at 9 man STTs ($1.50). I feel that if I stay focused, the only thing keeping me from winning is bad luck.
What do you guys think about single table tournaments? Or what tips could you give me?
P.S. Today's results:
2nd place = +$3.48 (-$1.50)
1st place = +$5.81 (-$1.50)
3rd place = +$2.32 (-$1.50)
6th place = -$1.50
2nd place = +$3.48 (-$1.50)
----------------------------
Total: +$13.59 (-$6.00) = +$7.59
P.P.S. I know it's just a tiny uptick, but I'm feeling great right now!
