Its very possible that you are just not that good at poker. Your ROI%'s are not good at all.

I beg to differ with you there. Discounting the last few months, a 17% ROI in the 55's represents a good to very good player. That is how I would rate myself.

Its hard for me to believe that someone would leave a 6 figure salaried job without being much much better at poker than this and without having long term success at a very high win rate.

I was in a position where the company was downsizing and my relationship with my boss was good enough that I had the option of taking the 6 month severance package or keeping the job. Also, I was about to get married and the wife was behind me all the way and very importantly there to cover my health benefits.

Also, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I could go and find a job for at least 70-80k without any difficulty at all.

That said, am I happy with 27k. Absolutely not, but I'll take another 27k this year so long as that means I don't have to scream at the top of my lungs at a bunch of retards in a conference room ever again.

You cant just not count your bad months. I guess you could eliminate the best and worst month and calculate from there if you wanted to.....but even if you only count your good months and call it 17%, that still not good at all in my opinion.

I used to play nothing but SNGs a long time ago.

Admittedly, I never played the $55s, but when I was playing the $20s and $30s my ROI was around 40-45%. Maybe my ROI wouldve dropped that low if I had played the $55s, but if it did, I wouldnt play them. Thats a horrible risk/reward ratio.

Besides, there is so much more money in NL cash games that I havent played SNGs in 2 years.
