I know that it is difficult to quantify but what is the generally agreed upon hourly ROR, say, playing 5 22's per hour?

ROR usually means risk of ruin. You might mean ROI, return on investment.

The ROI in the 22s varies from structure to structure, and also from player to player. At Party, you start with 800 chips, and the blinds increase relatively rapidly. Few people report a ROI over 30% ($6.60 profit, or $33/hour), and many report a much lower win rate. It could be that it is possible for a player to win significantly more even in Party's rapid structure, but anyone with those skills usually either moves up or starts to multitable enough to push the ROI down.

Note that it takes hundreds of SNGs to get an accurate estimate of your ROI. The SD is about 1.7 buy-ins, so the 95% confidence interval is roughly results +- 340%/squareroot(# tournaments).

My ROI is higher at other sites with slower structures, e.g., PokerRoom, Ultimate Bet, PokerStars, and Bodog.
