What amount of SnGs should be played until you have a basic generalization of what your roi may be. How close can you get it at certain sample sizes?

My standard deviation is about 1.7 buyins/sqrt(tournament). I think that is typical. After n tournaments, the standard deviation of your average result should be about 1.7/sqrt(n), or 170/sqrt(n)%. After 100 tournaments, your standard deviation will be about 17%, and after 300 tournaments, 10%.
