Hi guys, I'm sorry for the amount of threads I post, I'm just eager. After two months of playing I'm still unsure of what I'm best at. Clearly not great at any as I slowly build something then lose it and back to square one but I like most formats of play and just can't single out which I think will either make or break me. I don't want to keep switching between different ones or I'm never going to do anything.
Cash Games:
Pros: Fast and can play as long as I like and quit whenever i want.
Cons:I think for the time being it's clear that I'm losing far more consistently at cash games than any other format. I also get more emotionally at cash games and more angry at playing styles which I'm struggling to cope with at the minute. Even though it's micro limits, the swings effect me. Even after long sessions profit wise I can only pull in maybe $5 maximum. However tend to lose that and more in the next session. Feel like I tilt most at cash games too.
These pros and cons are both for turbo and non turbo games.
MTT
Pros: Love the long haul and cheap game to last hours
Cons: I'v not really posted any signifiant results, usually only just make the money after hours of hard work and to be sucked out leaves me feeling exhausted for nothing.
SnG 45,90,180 man:
Pros: Can usually do "ok" Had a few first place finishes. Posted most games with these, still negative ROI
Cons: just drain me a bit and variance is a big issue. I tend to slack more unless I'm completely fresh minded which isn't very often.
SnG Single table
Cons: Very fast, don't feel as if I'm tied into anything for to long, had better results here over long term. Last night out of 5 games finished 1st in 2 and 3rd in one. Made $6 in that 45minute sessions. However i haven't posted many of these so i don't know if it's more luck than anything else or if single tables are actually the ones for me. I think overall I'm probarly up slightly from all 1 table SnG's I'v played.
Cons: I multi-table and have a bankroll of around $90.00 now and in a typical one session could have 5-10% of my roll in play due to multi-tabling. If I didn't cash in at least one I'd be left feeling i coulden't do it, so would i carry on trying and hope i take a few 1st places in a few sessions to bring back a +ROI?
SnG Single Table (DON)
Pros: By far the best results I'v had and I'm almost positive I have a +ROI on these. After a typical session of 10 tables I guess I'd profit on average around $1/2 per 45minutes.
Cons: Definitely the most boring and poker seems different here.
My question is, WHAT do I do? I'm sick to the back teeth of going back and forth trying to find "my" game. I just really don't know. I'm a lossing player overall but that's due to the fact of mixing it up i think. I just want opinions on what you think I'd be best at? I think clearly it may be the Single table SNG's, however if i should mix up DON and standard or stick to one? If sticking to one, WHICH one do you think over time will yield the best results?
Thanks for reading and i appreciate replies.
PS: Please don't say "whatever you feel comfortable with" because all (except Cash)
I will also add in the odd maybe one or two MTT $0.25 big tournaments and the UK&ireland MTT each night as this one has a leader board which you can win addition prizes each month and love the competition in a ranking system.
Anyway, again any thoughts would be great.
