How many Sngs ($11) would I have to play to reach the top of the Party TLB?

Too many for you to play. Why would you spend more than a couple of hundred sngs at the $11s anyway?

So, what, should I not even bother with the $11 and just jump straight to the $22? I have 60 buyins at the 22 in my BR but 95% of that money is from my limit play.

So how many SNGs would it take to reach top of the leaderboard? Plus, is it true that 1st gets 5k?

Re: (LC) How many SNGs do you guys play a month?
 

I'd only jump straight to the $22s if you are confident you are a decent player. By decent, I mean beat the $22s for a worthwhile amount. If you have no idea, stick to the $11s. I'm just saying that there isn't any reason to stay at the $11s for TLB type volume, since that'd mean staying there for thousands of sngs, which is a waste when you could've moved up.

How long is a piece of string?? Lower limits?? Thousands. As in 3k+.

Check for yourself

You can figure out how many tournies you need by estimating your ITM, and then using the calculator at the bottom of the page.

Wow, I would need to play like 2K sngs at $11-22 to even reach 100th on the TLB.

1000 +55's

if you were playing for a living you couldn't play less

O RLY?

I dunno. 30% ROI on the $11 over 1000 SNG isn't so bad.. I mean, there are families that live on less than $3000 a month, let alone a single guy.

$3000 a month is ok for someone young but not something to write home about if you're over 24.

Re: (LC) How many SNGs do you guys play a month?
 

Even if you're really sure you can beat the $22s and have the BR for it, what's the harm of playing a couple of hundred $11s? Work on your multi-tabling skills if not poker. If after 150 $11s you're beating them and (more importantly) you're confident that you are better than the competition, move up.

Re: (LC) How many SNGs do you guys play a month?
 

It's not a matter of whether it's something to "write home about", it's whether you could make a living off it. As many, many Americans make a living on less than $36k a year, it's clearly possible.
I doubt there are many $11 pros out there because after 500 30% ROI SNGs you might think about moving up, but it's possible. I'm sure a good multitabler with a lot of time and a mental block against moving up could make $5k in a month at the $11s(2272 20% ROI 11s, which is about 40 hours a week 10tabling). Is $5k "something to write home about"?

As to the OP's question, here's a simple forumla:
N=Monthly nut/(buyinxROI)
If you need $3000 a month to live, that's 1363 20% ROI $11s. Or it's 279 5% ROI $215s.

umm, no.
