Going Up

Just to give an update. I recently moved up to playing $11 turbos in various sites and so far so good. My average ROI on the 11s has been in the 20+ % range. This is higher than my normal ROI in the $6.50s so that's kind of strange. But I've played a small number of games so far so its most probably a temporary upswing. I did finish reading Harrington on Holdem vol 1 and that could have had a positive effect on my game.

Also qualified for the $20K Holiday Freeroll over at Pokerroom and the $50K Month-end freeroll at Poker.com. So those are some tourneys to look forward to near the end of the year.

I am quite realistic with my chances in these kinds of promotional tourneys as players will usually number more than a thousand with huge variance due to the number of fishes. But then again, its next to free so nothing to lose but your time and you get the chance to win significant money if you get deep. The only thing I hate is the waking up part as they would usually start early morning.

Well, that's about everything that's happening in the poker front. I did notice one thing though, how come pokerstars doesn't have 11+1 Turbo SNGs? It's weird. From the $6.50s, it immediately goes up to the 16s. Although its better value for money in term of rake, its a bit too rich for my blood right now. Full Tilt on the other hands skips to the $22 after the $11s. So if I'm after gradual increases in my SNG games, I'm going to have to go back and forth between the 2 sites. =)
