These stats are taken from a recent set of 640 SNGs that covered one month.

These are my stats after 587 SNGs.

ITM: 32.4%
ROI: 5.5%

1st: 12.6%
2nd: 10.9%
3rd: 8.9%

Profit: $6,995.00



Not bad. Then I played up to 640.

ITM: 33.6%
ROI: 12.1%

1st: 14.1%
2nd: 11.1%
3rd: 8.4%

Profit: $16,600

Amazing what a difference only 40 or 50 SNGs can make eh?

BTW, I would say with pretty high confidence that all of these SNGs were played at very close to the same level. I have played enough of them now so that I don't tilt and I don't play differently in different stretches.

500 sit and gos is a huge joke. Ive dropped 10 ROI points in my last 100 $215s, and this is after 750 of them.

Fortunately the drop was from 36 ROI to 26 ROI /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Amazing how you forget that it's possible to win sometimes after many bad days in a row.

Honestly, I have no idea. I would estimate around 3000. I have stats on about 1500.

Very nice profit.

It just shows that you are a winning player. Add about 1500 more and then you may know a steady ROI% you're able to obtain.

Yes.

And no matter how often it happens you still have thoughts like, "Was I just lucky the past two years?" /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Yes I keep thniking that maybe I was lucky!!!!!!!!!!!! Except then everytime someone does something ridiculous against me I remember why I win. (and fortunately it happens every few minutes, but as soon as I bubble, I immediately start thinking that my 2500 sng winning streak was just good luck).

I have huge psychological problems.

"$215s"

"and this is after 750 of them."

"Fortunately the drop was from 36 ROI to 26 ROI"

You make over 50k over your 1st 650 $215s?? Ahh why can't I ever get this sort of luck at poker.

1500?? Are you crazy?? It will take at least 50 times that to have a decent sample size!

Oh, don't worry, your 50 dollars is a great investment. Just think of all the dead money in the tournament *cough* raptor *cough*. I just found out there will be several extra carricular activities at the tournament that will make it impossible for him and others to concentrate (of course they will bother me some too, but dont worry, I'll win /images/graemlins/smile.gif.
