Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to offer some useful help. I've been playing poker for a few years, yet I'm relatively new to sit-n-goes...never really liked them, for one reason or other. I play small stakes ring games, usually no higher than $1/2. That being said I only work part time and make pretty good money playing poker. I make more than my wife playing poker than she does as a teacher. Recently, and I know this is a small sample size, I began playing $5 Sit-n0Goes at UB. It's the only place I play at right now. After 17 of these sngs, I have a ROI of 60.42%. I cash in over half the sngs I play in and and 2/3 of my cashes are top two. Ironically they are exactly even between first, second and third. I've been thinking about moving to $10 sngs...(Yes I added that 50 cent add-on fee into my ROI calculations)...but I've read on here most of you seem to think about 30 buyins to be minimum starting reqs for doing sngs seriously. I'm not sure if I want to devote that much to sng play exclusively. So...
1. When should I decide to move to $11 sngs?
2. After that, when should I decide to move to $22 sngs?
3. Does it make sense to focus solely on sngs, as there is more risk-control and seemingly less variance?
4. If UB games are decidedly tougher than Party, should I switch and start SNGing at Party or elsewhere?
Thanks again for your input, I really apprecaite it. This is an area of poker I've never really played in until jsut recently.
