There's a fellow blogger at http://bankroller.blogspot.com/ who's doing something similar, and you're speeding past him, although he's doing it at 2NL - maybe you're playing higher?

I think the problem is in the bubble. I read it has to do with ICM and because 6 people are bubbling at the same time. Also because of the rake, lose 2 of these in a row and you have a mountain to climb to restore your ROI%. Admittedly I only play the 1.10 and 3.40 ones and i'd imagine the play is much better @ your levels.S1ndr0mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15315042774389923195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956557085846761197.post-43934370704858402892009-02-03T12:05:00.000-08:002009-02-03T12:05:00.000-08:003rd=$85.68 nice! post more details. i'm gonna try this one too though it may take forever to get 180 people inyegorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16828393969593632391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956557085846761197.post-68369956825454290132009-02-02T17:07:00.000-08:002009-02-02T17:07:00.000-08:00Thanks for stopping by.

The competence of players you meet at various stakes don't match (online is harder) - apparently anyway, I'm not a live player (or even a decent online player).

However, everyone was playing really loose so taking down a few large pots with only marginal hands definately made it worth while. While I did not score tons of dough, I did double my bank roll (even with the rake) so all is good. However, I didn't do it all with Hold 'Em... I'll post about it later.
