Someone beats 1$ STT NL at PP?

#1 13th January 2012, 3:24 PM

Hello,

is it possible to beat the 1$ STT turbos (3min blind levels) on Party Poker on a long run?

The pay out structure is as follows:
4,25$ 1st
2,55$ 2nd
1,70$ 3nd
_____
8,50$ price pool

Which makes 1,5/8,5 ~ 17,65% entry fee which is huge!
Compared to Pokerstars 1.32$ + 0.18$ where its "only" 13,63% and 5 mins!

I want to build up my bankroll from little money and think I really shouldn´t play them anymore...

For me the blind structure involves too much luck, because its super fast and the entry fee is way too high!

Any suggestions?
Otherwise I keep on playing cash game!

Cu @ the tables

It's possible to be a winning player on either site, but the higher the fee, the harder it is. And in terms of building your bankroll, I'd definitely stick to cash, not just because of the high fees and their impact on profitability, but also because I'd expect somewhat lower variance.

Thx for ur reply! I think I will do that, because I am way more profitable there!
How many buy ins would you suggest for Sngs? Do you distinguish between Speeds, Turbos and Standard? Ferguson´s BRM says its only 5% => 20 buy ins !? For me it seems to be too low.

In my experience with Turbo format, I found that having a minimum of 30 buy-ins was the best way to go. Turbos are great because they fill and play fast so you can play lots of volume in a short period of time. The downside is that you will see a lot of shove/fold and your hands have to hold up. With so much shovey shovey going on I found it was best to have some buy-ins in reserve for when you go on a downswing.

20 buy-ins is good for a decent (read: winning) player in Standard format games.
