45 mans Breaking 5%+ ROI

Can people please share break even stories and how they beat it ? Thanks

The best way to train for FT's imo is to play 9-man SNG's. Yes, the ICM is different as it's a 50-30-20 structure, but it'll help teach you how to play short-handed. My other piece of advice is that the bubble is not as relevant in 45-mans, considering that 1st is worth nearly 10 times as much as 7th. You want to get those high places, so don't be afraid to go all-in on the bubble. (You want to be risk averse, but only mildly so.)

Don't move up. Your variance is not going to decrease when players begin playing better. It sounds like it will, but it simply won't. The more mistakes your opponents make, the better that is for you. The single greatest factor influencing variance is your winrate. The higher your winrate, the lower your variance.

Of course, the amount of tables you're playing can't be helping your winrate.

Hi dude , very conservative BR I think you should try to be more agresive..... 100 BI for level , move to level down when u have negative session even if u have more than 100 bi on level ( by negative session i mean 25-50 games without cash in or small cash ins that dont cover your BI expenses. First positive session & 100 buyins on higher level is condition to play at level on which you actually have enough (100 - 150 BI depending on your preferences & taste) . Good luck!

Thankyou for your thoughts and advice, really appreciated guys! Going to try and have a big finish for the month, I took last night off to study and observe other regs! Gave mle the mojo to just load up 20 tables for at least 4 or 5 hours tonight should crack 80 or 100 games ride that variance out

I see going by the stakes you play that you are playing turbo 45 mans. How about playing normal speed 0.25-mans, and/or $1 45-mans. This will lower the variance?

You can start playing the 0.25 cent games, and if you hit a down-swing, after so many many games (you decide how many) then play the $1 45-mans with an anticipated upswing in mind. Then drop back-down to 0.25 after you have more than made up for any down-swing at the 0.25. Keep on playing this system until your bankroll dictates that you should move up limits.

There is no skill difference between the 0.25 cent and $1 45-mans. They play exactly the same. So it won't be a case of 'chasing losses' by moving up stakes from 0.25 to $1 because your bankroll is plenty for the $1 45-mans.

You could try this strategy for the turbos as well. If you don't mind the swingy nature of turbos that is. Just make sure you are rolled for the higher buy-in limit for this strategy to work - 200 buy-ins. $300 for the $1.50.

Hey arthurbentley

going to keep focusing on turbo's because I think that is more suited to my late shove game And I'm building a roll for 180mans eventually.

Well the advice must be working, had a very nice up swong tonight at the 0.50 / 45man Turbo's +$35.00 very long wait this month, also got in 105 games felt good playing 20 non stop I should be able to avg 75 to 100 a night so hopefully $1.50's for July

Definately plugged a few leaks with last night off to study funny thing is I even though I got a huge amount of cashes and ran like god mostly, I probably could of done better got pretty unlucky when it was done to 4 man!!! Oh well heaps of motivation for tomorrows session.
