[Closed] what is wrong with this ???

The statistic which should concern you most is the amount you have won.

It is very unlikely that you would net 100 buy-ins of bad luck all-in in 1000 tournaments. It is possibly, but I wonder whether Hold'em Manager has a bug in its luck adjustment as it does in multitable SNGs.

Par is to finish in each place 10% of the time. So, 11.8% - 12.2% - 13.2% seems ok. (It would not be good for a 9-player SNG.) If you have that finishing distribution in a $10+$1 SNG, then you would have about a 10% ROI. Instead, you report an ROI of about -15%. How much of the $2.40 is rake? It could be that you should consider changing sites or games if the rake is too expensive on iPoker.

Thanks pzhon, I checked once again to be sure, the finish distribution is like I wrote before, and the SNGs are really 10-man and I played almost exlusively single table tournaments. The rake is 0,40 out of 2,40 so 17%... which shouldn´t be that horrific for my results, should it ?

And yes, my ROI is -13%.

Next level is 5+0,50 but I would have just about 45BI for that level so I´m not so sure, especially moving up when I am running this bad isn´t a good idea imo. I don´t consider moving down either, because I still have around 100BI at my current level and I feel that I don´t play that bad, considering the plays that I see from others, and also considering that I try to study the game, have the ranges right, and as you said, the finish distribution also seems ok.

ok, I may have just found what is wrong... I played some DONs along the way and they have the exact same 2,4$ name, which mixes them with regular 10-man SNGs in Holdem Manager and I have probably no way of filtering them out.

Moreover they f*** my finish distribution, especially my 1st place finish % is probably totally wrong due to this problem.

OMG, so let´s just continue improving and playing, hoping for the better days to come, or what?

Don't hope, make them come. Practice, practice and you will fare much better soon.

don't play 2$ sngs with 40 cent ROI. It's somewhere in between very hard and impossible to make a profit on those

This. $2 + 0.40 will make even the best players only a marginal profit. So you have played 1039 tournaments? Each tournament you paid 20 cents too much rake compared to other platforms.

20 cents * 1039 = $207.80

This is money you should have but don't. Ipoker charges too much rake nuff said.

now that's the worst bad beat svelgen has had all month

now that's the worst bad beat svelgen has had all month

yeah... so funny ... it´s just bad for these lowest limits, if I would go up to $5,50 I would pay just 10% rake instead of 17% I´m paying right now...

... I just can´t believe that it´s so hard to win on ipoker SNGs...
... one nice thing was they gave me 600$ net bonus for just 300$ first deposit...

Yeah but the bonus doesn't help you if your losing so much due to very high rake. 17% is super high rake. On stars you have 6.5$ SNG which means only 7.7% rake. Ipoker has more then double the rake so those low stakes sngs are really not worth playing. Once you move up to 16,5$ sngs rake is even lower only 6%.

thank you all for your help, before this thread, I was just considering it, now I am completely convinced that I need to quit playing low stakes SNGs on iPoker due to high rake, even though I had an upswing of about 25BI running for the last two days...
