Default Re: PT Virtually Useless For SNG Analysis

[ QUOTE ]
I've played 35 total lifetime in last month...
And 43% ITM...
But because my late play is poor...
My 1st/2nd/3rd is a disappointing 2/5/8...
Resulting in only 6.5% ROI.
I've mastered the art of sneaking into 3rd...
But must spend a lot of time on end play.

After 35 lifetime SnG you can tell approximately nothing about your finish distribution or ROI. You need thousands under your belt to say anything meaningful about ROI. You definitely DON'T need continual accumulation of chips throughout a SnG to have a good ROI, in fact it is much more important to make it to the bubble than take risks early to accumulate chips.

I do use the standard PokerAce stats a little bit in SnG's just for an overall view relative to other players at the table. (Loose PF? Tight? Aggressive?) But, unless the stats are by level or how many left it is just a general overall feel for if you don't haven't really seen any specific hands from that person (like if you're multitabling.)
