January Is going slightly better now and I should not complane too much about only beeing up 1.6K. My sharkscope is 850 dollars too low this month because I have "lost" all my chops when running into regulars and I also cashed a 150 dollar deposit bonus. I think I got a decent chance to book another standard +3K month and maybe even more.
But, I cant destroy the 110 turbo every day, every week, every month like it was a first level packman-game. Stell I love the game, and that's why I'm improving every month. The fact that I'm two-tabling the 110s now with profit would be an insane idea one year ago. It's pretty sick how my view about what is big money has changed the last year. One year ago I would be nervous and excited about taking a shot in a 33 dollar game. Today I might experience 1k upswings and downswings in a few hours session without getting that nervious or excited about it.
Now, How tough is the 220+10 turbo compared to the 110+5 turbo?
In my opinion its obvious that the 220 is quite a bit tougher than the 110. In fact I believe marginal winners in the the 110 might become significanly losers in the 220. My opinion is based on the fact that it's way less fish in the 220. In the 110 turbo about every 5th opponent is a low stakes fish that is taking a shot at "high stakes". Low stakes fish is way less common in the 220. The "fish" that is playing in the 220 might in fact be about break even players at the 55 and 110 games (just like scrubbyz). I could have mentioned a ton of players and stats that support my view but instead I want to mention an exception, which is bpmst2 who is break even in the 110 trubo in a 1400 games sample but in decent profit in the 220 after a 500 games sample.
The regular speed is a whole different ball game and it seems to be good team work and agreements done by the pros there. However a problem with the 100,200, and 300 regular speed is that the lobby is too often clogged by regulars (damn regulars! in the eye of a game selecter) so it's tough to get a seat there. Moreover I find regular speed boring. HU sng turbo is really the only poker game that I really like, and I think I love it more than anyone.

5% roi over your last 1000 110s
3% roi overall at 110s
i dont think you have room to sacrifice much roi by moving up to 220s
of course their is nothing wrong with taking shots
i think you will have to deal with regulars sitting you quite a bit more often
just because bpmst's stats are better at 220, it doesnt mean he is actually a better player at the 220 level...its pretty small samples
good luck
Yeah, I agree. I'm happy about beating the 110s by sitting first now. I'm not moving up to 220 before I got at least 8-10% roi in 110s in a 1000+ sample.
Props for the shoutout!
Unfortunately I have to agree with hokie however :/
For whatever reason it seems the regs are more willing to sit other regs at the 220s as opposed in the 110s. I think alot of them are willing to play you a few times to see if they might have an edge.....others I believe are just arrogant and overestimate their skills. Some of them are multitablers who don't really give a crap who they play also, they want the VPP's. So overall the game is def a bit tougher.
bartchalker, alot of the regs will play anyone cause they are dropping in limits, I dont play alot of people cause I feel bad LOL, but I would sit w/100% of the player field at 220s and not really be 'afraid' or anything, and people like JLande, Phenom, etc. all don't care there, and others dropping down to get action, or for downswing purposes or whatever are fine playing anyone really, but I think the average 220 grinder isn't sitting 100% of people so much
