I don't see how you get $250K from those numbers -- I'm getting a 5-day net of $625 if you average 3/5 ITM places in the 30/3 SNG's and a $1125 5-day net for the 50/5 SNG's. That's not close to 250K but it aint bad money if that's what you can consistently do.

Irieguy is being facetious. His point is that if you truly could finish in the money 60% of the time playing $33 or $55 sng's over infinity, you'd certainly want to "quit your day job" and play boatloads of them.

A good player's ITM percentage at those levels should fall between 37% and 43% over time. Yes, you can certainly make a lot of money playing nothing but sng's. Make sure you are adequately bankrolled for the inevitable downswings (have at least 30 buy-ins in your account) and the best thing you could learn to do is multitable. Get a monitor capable of 1600x1200 resolution and learn how to play 4 games at once with no drop off in concentration or quality of your play.
