Why I prefer 4 man husng`s

I have to say that I really, really like to play 4 man husng`s. There is a lot of reasons for that and here is my thoughts:

Good things:

1) Dead buy-in in the pot.

- As you have play againts 2 opponents only, you will get free buy-in. Of course you have to play 2 times and win them both but that increases ROI% anyways.

2) Deep stack at the final table

- You have a deep stack at the final table. Usually I am very agressive as usual. If they fold a lot, I can punish them all day long. Then its very easy to play lategame because I can actually lose a flip and still get into game. Startstacksize is 3k. If you get into point where you have 4k and blinds are 50/100 you "already won the match". At this level they cant play lategame that is unexploitable so Its very funny to play.

3) You can watch how your final table opponent play

- If you won first table very fast, you can actually rail how they are playing and take notes before final table is on. Thats very big advantange if your game is superagressive as I do. You know his style without "testing" it. You know when to cbet, when not. You know whether 2barrel or not etc etc.

 

4) You dont have to play that much games

When I look at my hem stats I can see that if I play 2man husng only I have to play like 30 games in order to gain that 5+ bin that is my goal every day. If I am lucky I can play only 2 games with 4man. Usually I play 5-10.  Today I played 9 and I won 72.50$ with the ROI% of 70.

 

Bad things:

 

1) You have to wait your opponent

- If there is 2 good players who can handle lategame, it may take like 15 min. Usually it takes up to 10 min. Normally one game takes 25-30 min.

2) You have to win both games

- If you are not running well its very tuff to play those games. It is very frustrating to win first and lose the last one. It will tilt you! Anyways, deepstacks helps a lot.

3) Good players

- At the higher stakes there is usually at least one good or very good player. Winner takes it all so, Well..good luck buddy :). It is very hard to use table selection as registeration is very fast. But I think its slower at the higher stakes so I think I`ll have to choose my table!

 

Thats about it. Tell me if you disagree or if you have something to add.

 

Today: +72.5$, ROI%  70, 9 games

This month: + 556.60$, ROI% 49.9,  97 games

I also like the  4man sit and gos. I am wondering what stakes do you play. I am at the $10 level looking forward to having the type of results you are having.

Was wondering if 4 man are more tilting than normal because you would often win a game an not get anything.

Also could you let me know what your hourly is.  Since that is the only number that really matters.
