I've just finished my 200th SnG (dont yell about how this sample size isnt big enough, at least its not 25). Anyway, they are a mixture of 80 5+.50's and 120 11's at Pokerroom (All but about 40 were two tabled). I have an ITM of 38%, but an abysimally low ROI of .102. I think im finishing in third place too much, and just washing dollars???

1st place: 25, 12.5%
2nd place: 24, 12%
3rd place: 27, 13.5%
4th place: 27, 13.5%

Do I need to ignore this and shoot for a larger sample size, or if I am finishing third too much, where is there a good book or post to help improve this?

ur ROI shouldn't be that low.. you look pretty even across 1-3... for real input you need to post 1-10 places

Your ROI is wrong. I'm getting about 14% for 10 player tables and 3% for 9 player tables.

How many per table on this site?

Alright, heres the other places, and a bit more info...

5th: 30, 15%
6th 15, 7.5%
7th 22, 11%
8th 13, 7.69%
9th 10, 5%
10th 7, 3.5%

ITM = 76

Gross amount won = 1325

Theres 10 at Pokerroom, what calculation am i doing wrong?
(1325-1000-161)/1605 = .102

Ahh, I see you have different buy-in amounts in this set of tourneys.

Your ITM is solid. Obviously you're beating the $5's at a much better rate than the $10s. Just keep going at the 10s. If you still have a crappy ROI after another 300 or so, move back down.

Are the 11's a HUGE adjustment in play, because im using the same stragity as the 5's and im having troubles.
