Not to be rude (really!) but I dont understand everyone's fascination with ROI. Assuming I had the proper bankroll, Id much rather have a 10% ROI on the $200s than a 50% ROI on the $10s.

Well, not to be rude, but... duh. Given those exact figures.

However, it's not quite that simple, because you rarely know your ROI even close to exactly. More likely you know it to within something like +/- 10%. In which case your 10% at $200 SnG could easily be zero or worse. In that case, I'll take the 50% at $10.

Focus on a per hour rate.

Given an average tournament length, it's a trivial conversion.

ROI is a normalized per-tournament success rate. It's an important figure, IMO, but not the only one.
