what affects roi the most?

I'd say it's the pushes late in the game. When the blinds are high, what you push and what people call with is the difference between if you place and where you place...which is, after all, where your ROI comes from.

yeah, but learning that is easy (relatively). Its effect over 1 SNG is enormous, granted, but if you choose your pushes and calls wisely, then over time, this should be a nuetral variable for good players.

Raptor's point is a good one. For instance, thinking about his reponse and mine, I think early game looseness is where I get into trouble (and even when I'm leaking like a whore I still do ok). At the lower levels though, exploiting the bubble is where your ROI is made, which contradicts what I say, yes, but if I always know good bubble play (which I think I do), then my ROI goes up or down from somehting else, meaning early-mid game play.
