Greetings people, i'm new here and i just want to ask a question. It might seem silly and i in no way want to sound condescending or deluded as im well aware im just an average player at best but i can't really explain my predicament any other way.
I lost nearly all my bankroll, i started about a month ago from 10$ and worked my way up to ~400$ playing 90 or 180 player MTT's. It all went well for awhile and then it started to go downhill fast. I just kept on playing fairly abc poker, by the book, tight agressive just waiting for the right moment but sooner or later i always ran into some donk with the same stack size who would inevitably put a bad beat on me and i'd end up broke long before even coming close to the payoff bubble.
After awhile i became pretty tilted by the streak so i registered into a 9-player 20$buy-in SNG and ended up winning it pretty effortlessly. I dismissed it as pure chance and went back to playing 2$ / 3$ buyin MTT's so as not to blow my bankroll (wich i ended up doing anyway) and now here i am, broke.
I'm just curious, i have this strange feeling i'd be better off just depositing like 100$ or so and playing the 10$ or 20$ tournaments rather than grinding yet again at the lower level ones since i observed a drastic difference in playing styles.
Am i delusional or is it a lot easier to make money at the more expensive SNG's as long as you play decent enough, people tend to be more careful and less crazy about their game when they don't play for chicken feed?
