Your ROI should be quite healthy in these circumstances. The obverse example of a Party SNG; the one in which a few players bust out very early, is not nearly as favorable as you think. The 2 or 3 big stacks become confident and start screwing around with a few more speculative hands. This is accidentally correct. All the medium stacks figure that "at this rate, we'll be in the money soon," and tighten up while the blinds are still low. This, too, is accidentally correct. So, a few early bust-outs can actually force novice players to accidentally improve their play. On the other hand, if the blinds are 100-200 and you still have 8 or 9 equally short stacks; you need a pretty sophisticated understanding of short-stack poker to adjust correctly. Most can't. If you know what you are doing, this is a profitable situation. Irieguy |

Yeah, what the hell were you thinking, Irie! He obviously had better things to do than rape the tight fishy shmucks who don't know how to adjust to high blinds and soon to be shorthanded play. Yugoslav |

It most likely still took 50-60 minutes to complete. The only thing that can appreciably affect the length of a SNG is having a few players that take a long time to act every hand.
