how long is your average SNG?
 

i'm using aleo's spreadsheet to keep track of my results, but i don't time my SNGs, so i'm not really sure what to put in the duration field to give a decent approximation of my $/hr. i'm looking for the average time actually spent playing the SNGs, so the times when you bust out after the first 5 minutes should bring the average down.

i'm playing the $22s, for what it's worth.

An average SNG takes approx 35-40 min. I dont kno how the new blind structure though will effect that.

My spreadsheet says 27 minutes. That's autoimported data from Poker Tracker.

its gonna be longer now with a new lvl5

At UB with the higher stacks and long levels, my average is about 40 minutes which includes the last place quickies and the 90 minute-plus marathon sessions.

Re: how long is your average SNG?
 

I believe the 27 minutes is your average, not the table average. So if your average finish is 4.##, the actual average for a STT is more like 48 minutes.

My AM spreadsheet shows I average 39 minutes at the 100s. Some of the times are off a little so its probably a little longer but not much. I don't know how much the new level has changed things, but I haven't noticed a big change in my numbers although obviously my sample size is pretty small.

It also depends on when you start a tournament as starting. I dont auto import, just use Aleo's little button that says start recording Sngs. Anyway, I do that right after I sit down, b/c to me, thats the actual start of the tournament.

As a result, at the $50s, Im averaging about 43 minutes per tournament.

From some data I've been collecting...

~30 Hour Sample Party SNG Data

Collection method is a work in progress but I think this is fairly accurate.

How are you collecting your data?

yeah, but personal average is what decides $$/hr, assuming the OP plays continuously. If he plays in sets, then table average is probably a better number.

I'm also intersted how you collected this data?

Re: how long is your average SNG?

How are you guys keeping track?

I don't see how you can be averaging 33 & 27 minutes and be ITM more than 10% of the time.

I play the $50s, and before the blind change was averaging close to 45 minutes. I suspect that I'd now be averaging closer to 50.

Me no understand.

Re: how long is your average SNG?
 

With the new blind structure, my average game that I make the final 2 is averaging a whopping 52 minutes.

I don't understand these numbers either.

Re: how long is your average SNG?
 

I just figured the OP wanted an average number of table-hours per tournament. If you're really into seeing how long the entire tournament lasts, you can make a cell in an SNG tab looking something like
=sumif($F$13:$F$1012,1,$G$3:$G$1012)/countif($F$13:$F$1012,1)

I average 42.4 minutes when I finish 1st or 2nd.
