FINAL RESULTS
Well, it's always nice to sustain unsustainable numbers during a SNG challenge. It took us 12 hours to finish 150 SNGs (including a 2 hour lunch break). We ended up playing all $33's.
IRIEGUY: 84 SNGs played 37 ITM 44% ITM 48% ROI Total $ won: $1338 MCPHERZEN: 65 SNGs played 33ITM 50.8% ITM 61.6% Total $ won: $1335 Good way to end the year. Irieguy

Re: 150 SNG New Years Eve Challenge
I'll cut you some slack here...
ROI = Rate Of Income It is basically the amount of money you expect to receive for each dollar that you put into a tournament + fees. If you enter a $20+$2 SnG and have a ROI of 40% then you would expect to make $8.80 on average every time you entered a tournament. If you have a ROI of 20% then you would expect to make $4.40 on average for each tournament. Hope this helps.

Re: 150 SNG New Years Eve Challenge
You are correct. For some reason I just never think of it that way when I'm thinking in poker terms. Not sure why that is though other than the fact that I see poker money as income and not as an investment.

Re: FINAL RESULTS-edit
Nobody seemed to notice, but the total SNGs I listed only added up to 149. Mcpherzen was playing our final SNG as I typed up our final results. He ended up winning it, which was pretty sweet... but when I edited the final numbers I forgot to change the "total SNGs played" entry to 66 for him.
Also, as I entered the raw data into the spreadsheet I noticed a math error that I made while composing the results post. I calculated the 3rd place money won sum for my SNGs incorrectly. My ITM% of 44% is correct, but my ROI was actually 40%, not 48%. Our cummulative stats for the challenge worked out to: 46.7% ITM 48.1% ROI Clearly, these results simply reflect the good side of variance, even though we both did not at all feel like we were running well. Nevertheless, we both felt like there were a few key factors helping us maintain our "A" game all day long. First, we decided that win or lose, success or failure, we were posting our results as soon as we finished. Second, we were playing in the same room (never at the same table), which seemed to help us maintain our focus. And third, there was another player in the room just watching... and neither of us had played SNGs in front of an audience before. It seems like those 3 factors really helped us stay in the zone for the entire session. Another factor worthy of note is the whole New Year's Eve phenomenon. Players were particularly fishy yesterday, and we both had several SNGs where the bubble occured in level 3. There was so much gambooooooling goint on yesterday that I don't think it would have been possible to have a losing stream of more than a handful of SNGs or to post a losing ROI for more than maybe 30 SNGs. Anyway, that's my post-game analysis. Irieguy

[/ QUOTE ] Man, I could NOT believe the fish factor yesterday. I'm relatively new to poker, but my game has improved to that of a winning low-limit STT SNG player, but yesterday my stats were unreal!!! Out of 12 $10 games lastnight, I have the following stats: 8 1st 1 2nd 1 3rd I have never had a night like that before. Are there other nights that have as high a fish factor as New Years??

That's why weekends are so much better than weekdays. Payday + cocktails = feeding frenzy. All holidays are good... but the winter holidays are better because everybody's stuck inside. Federal holidays are always nice because a lot of people get the day off work and decide to sit around all day and play poker. Irieguy
