    Im having wild swings in the 10 dollars sngs. graph is not showing up for some reason.

    Anyways If you could look at my sharkscope, since the graph is not showing, it'll be much appreciated.

    Are these swings normal?
    Im officially -roi in the 10 dons after 300 games. :/

    Stoped playing them after about 200. Looking at my scope just didnt make any since, just shipping the rake.

    In the long run I think most good players thought the same lets grind these out.

    Seem like the same 50 people or so, throwing in the occasional fish.

    Just pushing the money from account to account generating rake.

    Good for stars bad for poker, kinda was my though before playing them, but I didn't lisen to myself. It just seemed to easy.

    The swings aren't that bad. Around 10 buy-ins is the most I have been stuck. I have noticed in the 10's that there are many regulars. I see alot of people with notes when I play them now. I have found that I am getting called a lot lighter by these regulars in definite shoving situations. If anyone wants to scope me for the 10 turbos be my guest. I have no searches left.

    After 1212, 6.15% roi. I 20 table them.

    -ROI after 300, you probably need to seek advice and work on your game. gl.

    edit: btw, I'm done with DoNs. I've played a little over 300 myself and have a pretty good ROI, but I simply miss the days of playing to win and destroying donks. I have a slightly better ROI for regular sngs anyway. F DoNs. gl donks.

    Well 300 games is not enough of a sample size to get a true roi when I 15-20 table em.

    I went over to visit my grandfather the other day. He was sitting in a rocking chair and that shit looked comfortable as all hell. I was like, "hey pop-pop can I sit in that chair?" He was asleep so I dumped his ass all the way out and sat down.

    That shit was like, so comfortable. Like ranch dressing and a haircut comfortable.

    I was rockin back rockin forwards. Shit was soooooooo nice. It was all made of wood n shit. I had to cut myself to come down from this high.

    Rocking chairs are awesome.

    If your swings are consistently greater than 15 buyins, then its time to review your game and plug some leaks. Or just move on to a new hobby.

    don't take this the wrong way...but it sounds to me that you need to work on your bubble play for satellite type tournaments...

    i find you can think of these one of two ways

    1. treat them like heads up matches

    2. treat them like MTT satellites near the bubble...

    i tend to lean towards 2.. but anyway.... if you are negative ROI in these i think YOUR game needs work... not this game...

    hell the rake in these is less than it is in a good deal of HU matches
