Message: [QUOTE="BluffMeAllIn, post: 2454305, member: 55263"] Hi tgen. 1. There is also preference involved with regards to choosing between turbos and regular speed stt's. ROI does tend to be higher with regular speed, and volume being key with turbo's meaning players/grinders can obtain a higher hourly rate but ROI tends to be lower on turbo games. It's a balancing act essentially of which you are looking to obtain, and which game you feel more comfortable playing. 2. There isn't really any standard, its going to depend on the amount of time you play and the # of tables you play at a time will be a big impact as well as if you run them in sets or continuous. Sets meaning you start 4-6 and finish all of them before opening any new stt's, while continuous you would open another as soon as you lose or win one so you continuously are running your max 4-6 tables at one time. I have done some stt grinds and was running 9-15 tables at a time depending on the level I was playing, running in sets results in lower volume than continuous but running continous also means you could be on a 10/20 blind on one table 9 handed but 100/200 on another 6 handed so you need to pay some extra attention before acting in either case. I found sets were more comfortable although did well with continous at times also. Turbo games usually run 30-45 minutes while regular are 45-75 minutes so the volume you get will depend on which you play and if you go with sets or continuous. I had nightly grinds at times where I knocked 100+ stt's over an 8-10 hour period or so. 3. Not sure on the specifics, only time I really looked at it was a small ftp grind I had done and I had about an 8% ROI difference between regular speed and turbo's with the regular speeds being a higher ROI but I had earned a greater amount of $ from the turbo's because of the higher volume in the same period of time. 4. Regarding BRM for stt's, IMO 30 buyins is too agressive really. I was following a 75-100bi rule for stt's when i was grinding them, somewhat because I was running so many tables but also because it was mostly turbo's and they can be swingy. If you plan to grind regular speed games and only 4 at a time you could be alright with 50bi brm. Regarding when to move up or down it depends on your brm, for example if you are using a 50bi rule then once you have 50bi for a level that is the level you are rolled for, however if you havn't played at the level before then I would suggest doing maybe a 10-15bi shot so that if you fall below 35-50bi for the level you drop back to the previous level and rebuild to prevent busting. So for the 7$ level you would want 350$ min, and drop back to the 3.5$ level if you drop below 250$br, and then grind back to 350$ before hitting the 7$ level again. As you move up levels you may want to increase your brm as well, so if you use 50bi for the 7$ levels you might want to have 60bi or more for the next level before giving it a shot to allow some extra cushion because games get tougher and ROI will drop because of this. Good luck with your grind and hopefully all this info helps in some way. Cheers [/QUOTE]
