Default For all the people that think 500 is a significant sample size.

These stats are taken from a recent set of 640 SNGs that covered one month.

These are my stats after 587 SNGs.

ITM: 32.4%
ROI: 5.5%

1st: 12.6%
2nd: 10.9%
3rd: 8.9%

Profit: $6,995.00



Not bad. Then I played up to 640.

ITM: 33.6%
ROI: 12.1%

1st: 14.1%
2nd: 11.1%
3rd: 8.4%

Profit: $16,600

Amazing what a difference only 40 or 50 SNGs can make eh?

BTW, I would say with pretty high confidence that all of these SNGs were played at very close to the same level. I have played enough of them now so that I don't tilt and I don't play differently in different stretches.

500 sit and gos is a huge joke. Ive dropped 10 ROI points in my last 100 $215s, and this is after 750 of them.

Fortunately the drop was from 36 ROI to 26 ROI [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Amazing how you forget that it's possible to win sometimes after many bad days in a row.

I hate when it feels like you forgot how to win.

Honestly, I have no idea. I would estimate around 3000. I have stats on about 1500.

Very nice profit.

It just shows that you are a winning player. Add about 1500 more and then you may know a steady ROI% you're able to obtain.

Yes.

And no matter how often it happens you still have thoughts like, "Was I just lucky the past two years?" [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Yes I keep thniking that maybe I was lucky!!!!!!!!!!!! Except then everytime someone does something ridiculous against me I remember why I win. (and fortunately it happens every few minutes, but as soon as I bubble, I immediately start thinking that my 2500 sng winning streak was just good luck).

I have huge psychological problems.
