No more jackpot grinding.

As most people who know me know, ive been grinding the 50+9 jackpot games, these are 6 max games, with top3 payout and 1000 starting chips, very bad value, but if you win 6 in a row you get like 60,000$ and top2 6 in a row you get 750$, which is nice, but you just cant win it enough to make it +EV playin these games(which over 1300 games ive realised) The extra rakeback is nice, as the 50s are usually 50+5, your paying 50+9, and with a decent rakeback system you can make nice money here. So over 1300 games i ran at 2% ROI according to sharkscope, only getting 2x750$ jackpot things. Along with the rakeback it was a nice earner, but there is hardly any bubble to really dominate and use decent SNG skills to really own other players, so the variance and general motivation wasnt there, and i really dont think anyone can run over 5% at these games. Anyway, im now back playing 10 man games, mainly $50+5s, but throwing in some 100s + 200s, and mixing in some 20s+30s for some extra volume. I really feel confident playing the 10 mans, with 1500 chips instead of the old 1000 in the jackpots, its like a breathe of fresh air for cbetting and outplaying others. With a real bubble now, with 3rd place being double the buyin i can actually "own" it unlike the jackpot games. Im pretty confident in my game at the moment and really feel im going to do well in the upcoming games, im running pretty good so far over the first 100 games netting in some big profit, and i hope to keep it up (i deserve it, been on a breakeven/downswing for a 300-500 games now) . So keep track of me on sharkscope, and its probably best to filter out the jackpot games, you can do this by clicking advanced search, then choosing 20-200 Buying, and 10 man only, no 6 max games. Pretty decent stats, but for 10 mans, its still a small sample, but expect some heavy volume during march:)
On a side note, im still offering coaching during march where ill be playing heavy, i really enjoy coaching people as helping others and teaching also improves your own game, so get in touch with me if you want. Ill be posting back during march hopefully every week or two. x
