Since I have now moved up to $215, I thought I'd post results for all the $109 SnG's I've played.
Bankroll progression:

ROI seems to be approaching a constant. Note that after 100 I had a significantly different ROI.

Is it from Party Poker or some other site?

Did you ever answer me when you first posted your charts months ago what program you used for the charting?

In games 100-240, there is a noticeable plateau. Did you consciously make any strategy adjustments to get either into or out of that plateau?

Have you tried splitting this buy Time of Day, start/middle/end of session or day of the week?
I would be interested to see. if you can be bothered....

Mostly game selection: these occurred around jan 1, where the games were a bit tougher. I was a bit too tight on the bubble, and this was a still a statistically possible random fluctuation.

I don't think I have enough data to make statistically significant separations. I do tend to have worse results on days I play more, but this is probably due to the fact that I often shorten my lucky days.

I posted once on the games being tougher just after new year (people's poker new years resolutions?)
I don't think anyone else agreed with me at the time, glad to see that I wasn't completely off my rocker tho..

p.s: Get MS Excel and learn how to use pivot tables - it is truly awesome, you will pay for it in time saved very quickly. (assuming you do more than a few simple graphs once a year /images/graemlins/smile.gif)

Speaking of which, did anyone else find the month of April to be tougher than the last several months?

Hi Bozeman
Thanks for posting this - it gives us newbies something to shoot for.
Do you want to reveal how much of a starting bankroll you took into this effort? I notice that thankfully, you didn't experience a drawdown right out of the gate.
Also, were these games played at Party? I have been trying the low buy-in ( $10 and $20) SNG single tables at Party, but I find it way way different than Stars, due to the short stack we start out with, and the faster blind increases. I heard that at Party, the higher limit SNG games provide each player with 1000 to start. I find my variation is way higher due to these short starting stacks.

Also, could you tell us at what level you started and what your criteria was for moving up or down?
Cool post.

I started, several years ago, at UB at $5 (with a buyin of $100), quickly moved to $10, found that Paradise games were much easier, moved up through 20 and 30 to fifty (I didnt stay at 30 long because I found the players at 50 easier to read). I moved up when I felt I was the best player at a typical table, and that I wasn't a weak player at the next level. I also played a fair number of MTT's (including live).
At this point I spent most of my bankroll on a trip. (I had found Party by this time, but I felt Paradise was better because of 1000 vs 800 chips and about one extra level). After the trip, my bankroll was under $500, so I played $30's to get it to ~$600 and then moved back up to 50. When Party changed their 50+'s to 1000 chips, I moved over there (at this point MTT variance was getting to me, so I started playing more SnG's). A short time at the 50's and a look at the play at the 100's convinced me to try them (coupled with the nice run I had at the start). I don't remember what my bankroll was at that time, but it was around $5k.
YMMV,
Craig
