Hi everyone I’m new to the poker scene with my playing career be about 4 weeks I’m looking for some info of new and experienced players alike as to what a good itm % is for a beginner and an insight into the most profitable poker to games to play
Let me give you some insight into my short playing career
Week1
I sighed up to PokerStars and deposited £10 which gave me $13 dollars and 7 days of rewards to play with I did pretty well my first week taking full advantage of my free rolls by getting upto 33 dollars with nothing more than basic poker and a lot of luck
Week2
Was when I started suing more attention to my poker game I when I noticed I had dropped from 33 dollars to 23 so started reading and watching how to play poker videos and learnt about position and bet sizing pot equity went over my head tho I also stopped playing the spin & go tickets which where what I won most my profit in on the free rolls and went to playing only 9 seater sit and go which where a 0.50 cent buy in and I managed to achieve a 25% itm and finished the week with $23
Week 3 was much better I took what I had learned on the web and continued playing 9 seater sit and go aswell as playing one 45 mtt a day my highest place in that week was 13 th however in the stt I achieved 1st x4 2nd x4 and 3rd x4 and achieve an itm of 37.5% but to my disappointment despite what I felt was a high itm percent I was still stuck on 23 dollars
Week 4 I decided my roi wasn’t good enough so I started playing half mtt and half stt the first 2 days where a disaster when I only finished 3rd day 3 however was somewhat better when I placed 2nd and 3rd in mtt for the first time I’d made the money and to make it better I maid it again the same day I took my buy ins back up to 28 dollars however since then I have struggled to win and make the money and am now back down to 24 dollars and am on day 5
So what I want to no is
1 what where other players starts to the game like hopefully like mine I I hope I’m doing ok
2 what games would you recommend I play for the best roi and to keep gaining experience as I have my eye on a local poker tournament
3 any idea on how I can further improve my game
