#60 - Apr 30th '09: "No Bacon For LAPPIN (...Does This Mean I Won't Catch The Flu?) 04/30/2009

Tournament Poker is a fickle swine. In the fifteen weeks between December 1st and March 14th, I played 309 tournaments on Full Tilt, winning $21568, boasting an ROI of 247% at an average stake of $34. I had 57 cashes, 22 final tables and 9 victories. During this period, I also came 3rd in a Pokerstars tourney for over 2K.

In the 6 weeks since then, I have lost $6334 with an ROI of -23% at an average stake of $42. In 228 tournaments, I have had 28 cashes, 5 final tables and 0 victories.

A closer inspection of the stats is required:

During my successful period, I was only playing 3 tournaments per day versus the 5 tournament per day average of the last 6 weeks.
During my successful period, I won $21226 playing 248 tournaments of buy-in $50 or less versus the $342 in 61 tournaments of higher buy-in.
During the past 6 weeks, I have lost $744 playing in 155 tournaments of buy-in $50 or less versus the $5590 lost playing 73 tournaments of higher buy-in.

It would appear that I am very much struggling in the tournaments with a buy-in over $50. In fact, my overall ROI for any tournament from $60+ is -39% as opposed to the 183% that I enjoy in tournaments that are less than this amount. This would suggest that I have been playing more often and at a higher average stake level of late in the hope of hitting that elusive big score when perhaps my time would be better served bacon-hunting in the $24-$50 tournaments. Hopefully, this bit of analysis will help me get back a bit of bankroll discipline that has been missing from my game of late.
