Since 2006 when I started playing online on Party I have been a steady winner at low buy-in tournament poker and have grown my BR from $200 to 29k. Last year I cleared 17.6k with 4 cashes over 3k  and double digit cashes over 1k with an average buy in around $30 and an ROI around 45%. I am still waiting for a 4 figure cash this year! This year my biggest cash was in the FTOPS 120+9 KO for ~$740 with knockout bounties. Pretty dismal. My stats look similar this year to years past but I am still waiting for my first FT almost 6 months into the year. My volume is down so variance is higher but I have never run this bad this long without a decent score.

When do I start getting worried? My ROI has waffled up and down within 10 points of 0 this year so I am not going busto but treading water tilts me more than ace rag cracking my cowboys AIPF.  The FTP $26 45 SNG is the only game I am beating this year. Do I jump down in stakes? Do I just keep grinding? Switch up games? My BR is about $1500 right now and I am a reg at the $26 tournies on FTP. Maybe move to 50NL 6 max? I miss having my rent paid for by other players. Have I become the donk? If I have I will tell you what…you ain’t getting it all bitches!

What do tourny regs do when they feel their game is flat?
