Quick heater

Hit three MTTs thursday in my never-ending quest to increase my large-field tournaments played, and didn't have much luck - I was chiplead at my table in the $30+3 with about 600 people remaining, but got AK cracked by A6 (button raised standard 3x, I came over the top with my AK, he called with A6 soooooted and caught two sixes on the flop) which cost me 3/4th my stack and bounced in about 500th.

However I'm experiencing a nice little SNG heater at the $33's, both yesterday while playing in the MTTs (and doing NFL pick research in the background at the same time, even) and tonight while doing more NFL research for tomorrow's picks. 8/16 ITM with a four firsts, three seconds and a third. Juicy 76% ROI for the two nights. This moves me to 46% lifetime ITM on the $33's since moving up, with 47% ROI. The ROI is probably a little on the high side to be sustainable, but the heater is nice while it lasts. I'm definately at the $33 to stay (baring a massive downswing that forces me to move down, of course), and if I keep up these results for the next couple of weeks I'm going to start mixing in the occasional $55 STT just to see what they're like.

Quick lifetime stats update:
Single Table Tournaments: 36% ITM with 11% ROI.
Multi-Table Tournaments:   27% ITM with 355% ROI
All Tournaments Combined: 34% ITM with 34% ROI

updated Thursday night with results from yesterday + tonight

At the 55's you'll find the play is the same as the 33's. Only difference is you start out with more chips which is nice (1000 instead of 800 I believe).

ditto to grant's comment. The extra chips are nice.

thanks for the comments guys.

I've heard via 2+2 that the additional time that the 55's take to complete (due to tighter play and the extra starting chips) might not up my ROI/hour over the $33s significantly. I'm curious to see if this is the case...
