Hey Wappie. I am not a pro but thought I would comment if you don't mind. Volume is obviously a good thing in mtt poker, though it is only good up to the point where it does not affect level of play. So it depends on how good the player is along with how much time they have and how good they are at multi tabling at one time. I would assume the person that posted the goal you mentioned is a young person without a job but somewhat of an amateur at that stake. I bet they encounter some hardships with their personal goal.

You`re welcome!!:)

I was thinking if it make sence to put time in mtt, cause in my sessions I only play max 4 or 5 tables at the time.

If I play more then I transform to an random button clicker, 4+ tables I cant make good postflop decisions.

So the story about that guy, gave me the impression that I lack somekind of skill.

I dont have the intention to go pro.

But to play and win 0,10$ on average a hour, then I prefer to go  grocery shopping with my wife 🙂

If you have a 50% ROI in $8 MTTs, then you average a profit of $4 every time you enter one. And if you play for an average of 2 hours in those same tournaments, then your hourly rate in each tournament is $2. If you can play 4 at once and maintain that ROI, then you earn $8/hour.

How many you “need” to play depends on what you estimate your ROI to be and how much you need to make per hour to make it worthwhile.

Thanks for your answer,

But an 50% ROI is nearly impossible cause the variance.

I think if there was a player who would play “perfect” poker then 50% ROI would not be achievable.

Or do I get this wrong?

Money is not my main reason I play poker, I love poker and to be competitive, but it would bercertainly be nice if in the end of the month so profit result are there.

I'm not sure I understand your question here. Variance has no effect on your theoretical ROI. When you ask in your OP “do we really need to play that much volume?” what do you mean?

Yea sorry, my english is not that great.

I try to say/ask if someone planning to go (semi)-pro on that buy-in level, does somebody need to put in that mutch volume to make a (decent)profit.

Somthing like quantity over quality?

Cause I just cant get it if someone plays ~57 tournaments that, he/she can make decent decisions+ the time is left in 24 hour day to check hand reviews and pluggin leaks.
