IS it easy to win one out of every six SNGS, for a winning cash game player. Im planning to dedicate a lot of time to the 1 table tournament forum and I think that will help too. IF winning 1 out of every 6 is difficult even for a winning player please warn me now.

It is not easy. It is hard.

Yes, it's extremely hard to win 1 of 6.

One in six is very good.
One in seven is good.

One of the main reasons why it is hard to constantly place first is that when its headsup you basically need a bit of luck. Lose two all-ins in a row and your big stack is gone.

No.

One of seven is VERY good.

One of six is unsustainable.

What is the average percentage a winning player will win
1 out of every 10

Also how are SNGS profitable if such a low win rate

1/8 is about where you want to be.

The profit comes from the people who finish 10-5th.

They are profitable through volume. A small average profit from each one adds up.
