SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

15 is definitely a small sample size, but not uber small.

The early results look like I have a knack for them..

$5+$1 - 11 tournies - 4 1st, 2 2nd, 1 3rd
$10+1 - 2 tournies - 1 1st
$20+2 - 1 tourney - 2nd
$30+3 - 1 tourney - 1st

ROI% - 179.72
Finish in the money - 66.67%
Average Finish - 3.6 (I went out in 9th once with KK, guy with J/T caught a straight [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img])

Once again these are ultra small numbers, but look very promising?

UATrewqaz,

This is the nicest reply you'll receive from your post so please listen carefully. Congrats on your first 15 tournies, that ROI is awesome! But 15 tournies IS "uber small". When looking for statistical relevence, there is really no diference between 15 and ONE. You're going to find this hard to believe, but you need hundreds and hundreds of tournies before before you can begin to draw any conclusions.

Also, please accept my apologies if this is insulting but by your statistics, it looks like you may have played a few 5's and had some luck, a $10 and had some luck, etc. PLEASE STOP IMMEDIATELY and move back to the 5's! You are headed for a crash course if you continue to move up buy-in's after playing and winning only one SNG at a certain level. If this assessment is off-base and you have actually played a bazillion $5's - again, I apologize. If not, I implore you to move back down immediately.

Again, congrats on the kick-azz finishes.

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

Nice start. I wouldn't drop to the $5's though. Play the $10's for the same amount of rake and see how you do in 500. If bankroll is not an issue (say ~$500), you could probably just start at the $22's. I have played 250 $10's and 700 $20's and my ROIs are nearly identical.

You are correct. I consider uber-small to be about 25-30.

rofl. ok, since im nice and all, ill say gratz on the 15 sngs. however, before posting results, next time play at least 2,309,158,123 sngs. holla

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

Double up then triple up. 179.72% ROI might be sustainable if you never played again. But hey, at least ur prophecy stats will be good.

-EV

PS. there was this one guy at a 55 who kept on saying that he had the best prophecy stats with only like 50 tourneys. I just shrugged and then I went back to 6 tabling pokemon red version.

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

I bet even raptor never 6 tabled pokemon red version.

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

oh god. back in the day, when pokemon first came out, i was the nuts. i wont a tournament and flew to washington to play a nintendo rep. bwahahahaha

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

Holla!

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

LOL, I knew this thread would finally get some comedy into it.

As to the original poster, grats. You might have some real talent, who knows -- you sure did great in that little chunk. 15 tourneys is less than a day's play for some of the serious players around here, though. Some of them are playing 10 an HOUR or more. So you can see why your even asking how important a 15-game sample size is seems really bizarre, even outright laughable. The only reason you're not being chewed a new poop hole is because it's National Arboretum Day, and most SNG'ers own greenhouses.

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

yea, i only played for a measly 5 hours and got in 66ish tournaments today, i was too busy watering my plants. holla

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

I was too busy leveling up my Bulbasaur to level 87. I only train plant type pokemon.

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

plant types eh. i only train the evolutions of eevee. jolteon was the nuts. holla

I thought this thread was a joke when I read the title. I think it was funnier once I read it and realized it was serious though.

It's too late, and even if it wasn't it would be a crime to waste the pokemon discussion.

I played one 30+3 SNG yesterday and emerged victorious when I called the SB's all in with K5 (he had Q3), and hit my K.

My ROI and ITM are the nuts.

It also boasts the greatest lineup of wrestling games on the planet. WWF Wrestlemania 2000, WWF No Mercy, WCW/NWO Revenge, WCW vs NWO World Tour, those games were the [censored]...oh and goldeneye was great as well. Used to play that for hours in the dorm rooms...

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

I'll play Tetris Attack or PPL for infinity billion dollars.

FWIW the actual best N64 game is Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. I'm way better at that than I am at real golf. MP is a close second.

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

Yes, tetris attack was the first incarnation. I may be in dallas in a month or so, I'll take you up on that challenge! It's been years since I've had decent competition at that game.

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

super smash bros was one of the best as well. the gamecube version is far and away my favorite nintendo game though, and ill take any challengers in THAT as well. holla

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

I'm partial to N64's smash bros over cube. never cared much for the extra B atk and it never felt quite the same.

Are 29 sample size snobs enough to call it a group of sample size snobs?

(Id say at least 500...that'd be a convention though)

Re: SNG results after 15 tournaments, review?
 

yer right, it never did feel the same, it felt infinitely better. faster, more moves, everything. it was great. holla
