Reasonable amt. of SNG's to determine a good ROI?

[ClaytonN]

I asked this a week or two but didnt get any answers, will try posing it differently.

What's a reasonable amount of SNG's to play in before I can say with a certain level of confidence what my ROI is on a level of sng play?

Small stakes limit players like to use 10k hands as a barometer for performance at that limit, what is the equivalent for SNG's?

Thanks in advance.

10k hands = 10k sngs. holla

You can't possibly be serious. And holla.

A better question would be, How many posts does it take a poster until he learns to use the search function.

im pretty sure he is...

You should get a vague idea after 500 and a slightly better one at 1000. That said, winning players have had breakeven streaks of 500 and more.

I don't know if "actual ROI" is an important concept before something like 10000 or more tournaments.

this did not seem to address the topic. Otherwise, I cannot read.

But thanks for the un-necessary comment anyways. You rule.

well considering a 10 buy in downswing can strike at any moment with ease.

So pretend you are at the 11s. At any given moment you can lose 10 in a row(really it's more) thats $110

so when a $110 loss doesnt change your roi within a % then you have your answer.

So lets say you play 1k SnGs at the 11 level and your roi is a respectable 25%. Thats $2,750 profit. Now you lose 10 in a row.

Your roi has just dropped to 23.76% a 1.24% drop.

Hope this helps.

Keep in mind that at any given time you could drop as much as 30 buy ins. 10 is a very generous number to go by.

As you move up in limits your sustainable roi goes down and your buy drop possibilities go up.

10k SnGs at the 109s might be an accurate number...

This would take most serious players about 10 months to complete. By this time their game has likely changed anyways.
