A lot of you have been reading my efforts at mastering SNG's starting at the 10c level. Since I'm a BAD PLAYER (tm), my personal rule is that I have to finish in the money 50% of the time over a 100 game stretch. This is my choice while I'm learning the game even though I have enough money to play higher.
In thinking it over and talking with several members, we've come up with a "Fast Track" method to build a bankroll. I think it is just safe as any method I'm using and will be a lot of fun to try out.
The idea is that you can move up a level when you have 20 full buyins at your current level plus one buyin at the next level. The catch is that you have to move back down if you ever fall below that level. For example, if you start at the 10c SNG's:
You can play 25c when you have $2.47 ($2.20 + .27)
You can play 50c when you have $5.95 ($5.40 + .55)
etc....
I did a little test assuming we knew we could get in the money 50% of the time with an even distribution of 1st, 2nd and 3rd, give us and ROI of 36%, which is very good. Following the Fast Track bankroll rules, it would take 240 SNG's to turn $2.20 into $200. (Note that I've played 142 10c SNG's and have won $2)
A few things to note:
We would spend an average of 36 games at each level before moving up - of course a hot or cold streak might change that, but moving up every 36 games or so seems very reasonable.
Once we reached $200 we would be playing $10 SNGs and coming close to moving up to the $15 ones.
If we continued this until we had 20 buyins at the top Fishtank SNG ($200 + $15) we would have a bankroll of $4300. (I didn't try to figure out how many games that would take - if you make enough to stay at the $10 you'll be winning a lot of money)
I talked this over with a few people and we all came to the same conclusion. Every BYB member we could think of could do this and be successful - but very few would have the patience to try.
So here is the challenge for anyone interested in trying:
1. You will be given $2.20 to start. This is 20 Buyins at the 10c games.
2. You must play 9 seat SNG's - I stronglyrecommend that you do NOT play speed/turbo, but it is your choice. (After 142 SNG's I can say with confidence that you can fold your way to 5th place with normal blind increases so you can pick your hands - luck is a much bigger factor in the speed/turbo)
3. You must play at a stake no higher than the example listed above and I will post a full table for all the stakes.
4. You must be willing to play it through all the way to $200.
I think everyone could do this, but it will be a lot harder than it seems. If you are interested, please post here why you think you could do it.
