Potential $ at the Party $55 SNGs

[minwoo]

Hi everyone,
I've been 4 tabling at the $33's for a run of about 400 SNGs and have been doing fairly well. I have about a $3k bankroll now and would like to jump up to the $55 level. I am just curious as to what kind of money can be made at that level. For those of you who play at the $55 level, how many SNG's do you play in a week or month's frame and how much proft($) are you making?

I don't play them anymore, but I've played about 600 in the last few months, 4-8 tabling with a 17% ROI.

A better player could probably hit 20%. I would say that if you can beat the $33's for more than 12% ROI, you will likely be able to beat the $55's.

you don't happen to be vtminwoo do you?

i'm running around 17% after only 250 SNGs, but I think that might be a bit higher than my true ROI. I was amazed to find that the play at the 50s wasn't that much better than the 33s. irieguy is right, if you can beat the 33s for 12%, you should beat the 55s easily.

I played about 600 $30s with a ROI of 37% playing 2-3 at a time...

Moved up to the $50s and so far I have a 13% ROI over 450 tourneys playing 4 at a time...

Pretty small sample size but I've found the $50s to be tougher to beat... 4 tabling might have a small effect on that as well, who knows...

The 55's are decent, yeah, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's easy money there. Most of my SNG's have been at that level and it's always a struggle. I've noticed a lot of new strong, aggressive players too lately that are 2-4 tabling FWIW. As far as ROI is concerned, I'm beating them for a good amount but I won't quote any figures. GL.

i'd wager a guess that 3-4 of the people at any given table are complete morons. They would lose at the 11s if they tried them. Of the other 5-6, maybe 2-3 have a clue but aren't completely there and the other 3 are decent.

No offense or anything but is this info from the 250 SNG's you mentioned above? If so, you'll notice some big changes soon.

Just wondering but, have we played together? My SN is almost the same as this username. If not, say hi sometime if you see me. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yep I am VTminwoo. I guess my SNG count has significantly increased since a player on here actualy recognizes my name.

It seems clear from the responses that there is a significant decrease in ROI from the $33 to the $55.

For most of you, is it worth the sacrifice of a better ROI at $33 to move up to the $55s for a lower ROI? In other words: In spite of the lower ROI, does moving up result in a significantly higher profit?

I am terrified of moving up to the $55s and 4-tabling...$220 per set!

What kind of a downswing in terms of the # of buy-ins is expected at $55 level?

Would $3.5k bankroll(63x buy-ins) be enough to handle it, 4-tabling?

Why not play a set with 2x50$ and 2x30$? Or maybee even start with 1x50$ and 3x30$.

Not to hijack this thread but how do you feel the $22's compare to the 33's?
