Default Thanks everyone

Just wanted to post and say thank you for all the great content in this forum. This is my first post in the 1-table tourney forum but I've been pouring over all the strategy guides and hand posts for awhile now.

After becoming increasingly frustrated with small stakes limit holdem I decided to try out Sit n Go's and have been pleased with the results so far. I know its a very small sample size but it actually feels like I'm "getting somewhere."



What is a realistic goal for ITM and ROI for the 10+1 Party game?

Thanks again,
Mantra21

I'll go ahead and be the one that will take credit for all of your success.

Hopefully ReadTheFAQ won't see your post.

Your ITM is great, your ROI can work up to the mid/upper 30s, is the reasonable goal.

The numbers you have look just right in terms of what you "should" be getting.

Although it's a very small sample, and you can throw the ROI due to sample size. It does appear that your ITM is high enough that you are likely to be a long term winner.

Goal setting for ITM and ROI is a dangerous and depressing business in SNGs, but if you can maintain your current numbers for quite a lot longer, you should be very happy with yourself.

yeesh. this might be setting someone up for failure. despite them being the 11s, I think expecting an ROI of over 30 is a bit wild. Just be happy if you can maintain an ROI in the mid-high 20s.

I.e. the true long term profit margin is a lot smaller than what everyone else thinks.
