Won my first SNG

[AnteGravity]

I had never ever played an SNG before, but when I was browsing the 2+2 boards(I'm a limit player mostly) I read a few posts here and it sounded fun. I like tournament play, just not their length or preset time.

So, I tried a the cheapest no limit one I could find the 5.00 + 50 at stars, came in 3rd, and another one, 2nd, and my 3rd try I have my first SNG notch.

ROI is short for "Return On Investment." It is your profit/loss expressed as a percentage of the buy-ins + fees you have paid.

IT*M*% is short for "In The Money" percentage.

Thats pretty simple, anything else I should look out for?

Yeah, the scorn of SmileyEH. Also, Jason Strasser's gruesome putdowns.
