    Is it worth carrying on, 21 £3-30 DYMs never cashed in 5, anyone know what i would need ?.

    Probably have to gamble and play 6 max tables which has higher variance but much higher potential ROI -  I think the term is go on a heater?

    From earlier messages it seams that head hunters are the last resort to try and increase a dead ROI

    I've not tracked ROI on 6 max so probably worth awaiting advice from some 6 max pro's

    Yes tomo you need to play six max from here on in if you want to make it. If you win the first 3 six max you might be ableto switch back to dyms.

    Rooting for you Waooga....it really would be an incredible achievement to qualify soleyfrom dyms.

    Make sure you get your 30 gamesin though the deadline is close!

     hi bigm.. well done on an awesome roi. are you planning on playing anymore, only asking because im kind of stuck.. in top 6 atm, but........... 1 loss and im down to like 63% and out of top 6 or not play and risk being overtaken!!

    i dont think my 68% will be enough, maybe try and win 2 dyms then leave it at about 69/70%

    ps whats the payout in the final? top 2 get paid?? if so it be a pretty big bubble!! prob a 2K bubble :(

    Hi pocket9s congrats also on your ROI! Personally I think 70% is going to be needed to make he top six, there's some well known regs yet to complete their 30 games. So yes I will be playing again for sure. I think the best thing to do is play one more reg 6 max sng and if you win you're well over 70% and booked your seat. Losing isn't a disaster as you can easily get back up to 70 with a couple of decent results. So that's my thinking, play one more and take it from there. It may be as easy as win and you're in. I've also been wondering about the payout, I'd imagine the top 6 will all get a slice of the cake.

    Right time to get the grind on. Only played 3, one victory and 2 losses.

    See how the next 10 or so games go to determine if it's worthwhile continuing. If you're on my table, I like a gamble ;)

    Sorry if it has been explained but can't find it, how do you calculate your ROI?

    Specifically, what do you assign to a losing game. I can calculate the wins but does a lose count as zero or is it minus 100?

    Must try harder?

    I assume you're playing regular 6max games in which case 3 wins out of 6 is vvvv good. Your ROI will be not far off 80%

    If you can keep that up, you're sorted :)

    Sigh, wish I'd known this before I spewed off in another 2. Make that 3 wins and 5 losses, all standard sng's.

    Sorry but I can see by looking straight away, only winning 4 out of 30 is not gonna give you an ROI that high... I'll whack it into ChicknMelt's spreadsheet for you...

    Your ROI is -1.82%

    HAHAHA. Thanks mate,thats real bad.
    How did i work it out like that?
    Had 1st @ 254.54% x4 = 1018.16%
    2nd @ 90.9% x8 = 727.2%.
    Add em together and /30=58.178%

    Had a look online for a ROI calc but cant find one, any ideas?

    I'll sort it Waller...

    At the moment you're on 32.17% so yeah you need a bit of monster heater lol.

    Just chucked it in the spreadsheet to see possible outcomes of your last 4 games.

    If you won ALL 4 of them, you'd finish on 61.82% which I think is just short of the top 6 now. So you'd need to play 31 games and win your next 5 games in a row to get to 68.04%

    Nice one cheers for that..........

    Well, it's not looking good. I was doing alright until I lost 5 on the spin a few games back. Guess I plod on til I lose one then (so prob one more game)

    Well done to whoever makes the top 6 and wd to sky. The best promo for months and has been a lot of fun..........more of the same!

    Still just the one dropped game - so 19/20 now. The last PLO I played was touch and go!

    4 days 10 games and 1 blow up to go ;)

    update 28/03/2014 21/23 - dropped another PLO game so will need to switch to 6max for any chance of a top 6.
