I dont' have an ROI figure for my MTT's but am guessing it to be fairy good.

[/ QUOTE ]I wonder how many players who focus on SNGs also dabble in MTT and whether their winnings in MTT represent a significant portion of their income.

I would guess about 80%....hehe. Not actually a guess. I had poker prophecy when it use to work on PP. In mtt's at least 8 out of 10 had prophecy stats which is sng based.

If you're a very good SNG players its likely that SNGs are much more profitable for you than MTTs because of multitabeling. MTTs are a lot of fun though.

Re: Is 5k sng\'s played enough?
 

2 Questions:

1. Why the dramatic drop in your % at the $100 limit? Are the players just that much stronger?

2. How many tournaments do you think you need to play before your ITM and ROI numbers can be considered accurate. (I've only played about 20 at each of the 10 and 20 dollar tournaments and I don't trust my numbers yet.)

For your first post ever you dig up this old thread?!?

Who are you?

Re: Is 5k sng\'s played enough?
 

He is a supercomputer, reason enough!

And supercomputer, he has a very low ITM% at the 100's because he ran bad there. Even if he sucked, that ITM% would still be very low. The sample size is too small.

I'd say after 1000 SnG's your stats start to mean something, but if you ran incredibly hot for 100 SnG's for example, your stats would still change a lot.

And this is basic FAQ stuff I think.

"than MTTs because of multitabeling."

What's stopping you from 4tabling??

Re: Is 5k sng\'s played enough?
 

Haha. I found this thread by googling ITM and ROI.

I live in Austin, TX and I've been playing online for about a year. I just turned into a winning player a couple of months ago, so I started an xl spreadsheet to track my stats.

100 tournaments = ~ 5000 hands of poker. That seems like too many to consider it a "run of bad luck."

Re: Is 5k sng\'s played enough?
 

I think you're replying to me.

Welcome.

5,000 SNGs is a very large sample. 100 SNGs is a very small sample. Everyone who has played thousands of SNGs has lost money over 100 of them and has had sky high returns as well.

Re: Is 5k sng\'s played enough?
 

After reading several other topics on this, including the FAQ's, that seems to be the consensus. I'm still skeptical, however.
