Hey guys I was just wondering your thoughts on a question I have?

So as some people know from my intro the other day i'm purely grinding MTTs.

My BR is a little over $500 and my average bi is around $2.50-3 (Estimate). On my grinding schedule every night The Bigger 4.40 Turbo is on and I was just wondering if you think that tourney is too high variance for my BR to play every night because it usually has a 4k field.

P.S. I entered it the other night and came 29th for $34. Lost AA<K8o, just a little sick, and I would've been 5th in chips and 1st was paying $2.6k....I COUD TASTE IT hahaha but that's poker!!!!! :)

Should be fine. That gives you over 100 buyins for that and If I understand correctly it's the only tourney you reguraly play with that buy in. Its fine to take occasional shots if its not a huge chunk of your roll plus for micro MTT s 100buy IBS should be sufficient BRM anyway.

Firstly, the turbos are the hot/hotter(sunday). So it's not clear if you're talking about the big/bigger games which are non turbo, or not?

Playing with 100bi's in turbo structure stars mtt field sizes (anything over 1k runners) is running a high risk of ruin, even for really good players. I assume you are a beginner, so the variance is bigger as your expected roi will be lower than the better regs, thus, you should be playing lower buy ins, smaller field sizes, and non turbos also to decrease variance. At least until you get better.

The thing is that it's not going to be his main buy in. If I understand correctly then his intention is going to be mainly smaller buy ins but also have a nightly 4.40. I don't think there's much of a problem with that, maybe instead just play it s couple of times a week instead of every night.
