Re: (LC) How many SNGs do you guys play a month?
It's not a matter of whether it's something to "write home about", it's whether you could make a living off it. As many, many Americans make a living on less than $36k a year, it's clearly possible.
I doubt there are many $11 pros out there because after 500 30% ROI SNGs you might think about moving up, but it's possible. I'm sure a good multitabler with a lot of time and a mental block against moving up could make $5k in a month at the $11s(2272 20% ROI 11s, which is about 40 hours a week 10tabling). Is $5k "something to write home about"? As to the OP's question, here's a simple forumla: N=Monthly nut/(buyinxROI) If you need $3000 a month to live, that's 1363 20% ROI $11s. Or it's 279 5% ROI $215s. |

Re: (LC) How many SNGs do you guys play a month?
That's pretty well missing my entire point to key on an aside. Nice work. It would be difficult but not impossible to make $5000 in one month playing only $11s. After 2200 SNGs in 30 days you'd probably want to kill yourself, but it could be done. Thankfully not everyone needs $5000 a month and the fine people at Party Poker have seen fit to provide SNGs with a buyin higher than $11.
The original guy claiming that you need to play >1000 >$55s to make a living was grossly incorrect. I imagine most pros only satisfy one of those conditions and it's entirely possible to make a living satisfying neither. |

Re: (LC) How many SNGs do you guys play a month?
If I were doing this for a living, I would probably only feel comfortable if I were doing 1500 $55s or 750+ $109s. I guess the total combined buyin per month is the determining factor. At least 75k buyins per month would be my minimum.

Re: (LC) How many SNGs do you guys play a month?
Dude, I dunno how it works where you live, but when I told the people at the electric company that I had totally wagered enough last month they still wanted their filthy lucre.
The determining factor for "Are you making a living?" is pretty freaking simple: Is (Funds made)-(Funds spent)>=$0? If you play 1500 $215s poorly you aren't making a living, if you live in Sierra Leone you can make a living playing a couple of dozen $6s. |

Just because you need 6 figs to make a living doesn't mean everyone does.
A good $22er can make a pretty decent living. Say 20% ROI, 10k sngs a year, that's 50k with rakeback. That's a low limit player working 20hrs a week, 10 months a year. |
