    So I am doing this little SnG experiment with the fine folks over at sngicons.com .

    Here are the basics......

    I will begin at the $6.50 turbos with 30 buyins and move up when I get 30 buyins for the next level. I will do this until I am playing the $225s, and I will completely outline and give full stats of my progress on this journey after every 100 games.

    A few things to keep in mind.....
    30 buyins is not a significant bankroll for the 27s are above. If you are learning SnGs, I would reccomend keeping 50 buyins at the levels you are playing to account for variance. If you play for a living, you should keep even more. This is purely an experiment, but I do hope it will serve as an interesting resource for players curious on how long it takes to move up levels using a structured bankroll regiment.

    This could also serve as a great resource for degenerates who like to make propbets doing this sort of thing.

    Here were my stats after my first 200 games at the $6.50 level.

    # of Tournaments - 200
    Buyin + Fee - $1300.00
    Amount Won - $1599.00
    Net Amount - $299.00
    ROI - 23.0%
    Finished in the money - 43%

    1st - 32
    2nd - 30
    3rd - 24

    So I will now be moving up to the 16s, which I have had a lot of experience playing and feel confident I can beat for somewhere in the 15-20% ROI range doing my standard 9-tabling.

    If you are interested in this, jus check out sngicons.com, then click the 'BluffMagazine' blog.

    Also, what did you guys think of the Antonius issue of Bluff with many articles by some of your favorite pocketfivers including Imperium, MarvinGarden, and Rizen?
