Re: Rhythm in the madness II: the $55\'s
My play varies widely depending on other things, like work. But I've been playing about 50 or more SNGs a week for several months.
I played 500 PLO-8 SNGs and 300 NLHE SNGs at the $33 limit before deciding to move up. (that is, I kept detailed records of that much. I've played thousands of SNGs over the past 3-4 years at various levels from $5-$200)
I think the extra chips are an edge insofar as it seems like you can use them to get a little more play shorthanded and increase your ROI above what you could get at the same ITM% with less chips.
The reason I like PP is because the SNGs don't take as long. Maybe with more chips you could squeeze out a higher ITM%, but I'm mostly concerned with high-volume per unit time play. I want to maximize my hourly rate.
You can make a living at any form of poker in which the rake isn't too high and your opposition is worse than you are. That potential certainly exists in the SNG format.
