Hi guys/girls
I tend to play a lot of low buy in sng's.... i find myself fairly successful id say making the money in 9 mans about 35% of the time maybe more... when i do bust its usually on the bubble.
I tend to jump back and forth between, 6max turbos, 6max regular, 9man turbo/regular, 27man
I really dont follow a set day of play... usually whichever i have time to play in order from quickest-longest..
Although i dont have a set bankroll for poker i deposit when i need to and withdraw to try new sites/bonus's. I would say it would be around 500 dollars... Typically i play the 3.50-6.50 range purely because of my bankroll... I play 60$-100$ tournies live but they are far more spread out. At my level of sng i am playing there is obviously a lot of bad players.... making cashing that much easier.
Would sticking with this level of sng be okay judging from my bankroll or should i move down to the 2$ sng's... i dont really mind.. it just it means it takes longer to reach my bankroll goals.
Also would investing in pokertracker be helpful for my current situation. When i go back to uni in the fall i will be playing more cash where i can sit down for a few hours and grind or grind out sngs...But at this level is the 100$ investment in pokertracker worth it???
cheers

Definatly invest in pokertracker. Even if you're playing $2 SNGs.
You deposit small but you'll redeposit when you go broke, so your effective bankroll is larger. Just think about how much money you'd be willing to redeposit, and consider that ammount your effective bankroll. If you're beating a certain level of SNGs and your bankroll allows you to play one level higher, do it. For single table SNGs I'd play with 30-60 buy-ins, depending on your ROI and risk tolerance. If you play alot of tables, your ROI is likely gonna be a bit lower so variance will be larger. If you play fewer tables, you'll run into less variance so you can play on a shorter roll.
For example, your effective roll is $1500 and you're currently beating $6 SNGs, you should move up to $12 SNGs without even blinking. If you beat those, move up to $20 or whatever, if you beat those $30. Also move down when you drop below your requirements for moving up.
You can also get pokertracker from www.pokersavvy.com with savvypoints, which you can earn by clearing some usually easy bonus on a site (which sounds like what you're doing now anyway).
