I dont know how your simulator takes into account the fishy play at low buy in SnGs, but I assure you, 20% ROI is not "crushing the game".

The simulator does not take into account, anything about fishy play. It just shows the 40 buy-in downswings are going to happen to even the best sng player.

20% ROI is CRUSHING the game. This is agreed upon by all high volume players in the SNG forum. Show me anyone who has an ROI of 25%+ for a sample of over 3000 SNGs, and ill offically declare myself an idiot.

Well, unless I go on a very bad run, prepare to declare yourself an idiot. I will have over 3000 SnGs in my data base by March or April, and since Im sitting at over 30% have a bit of cushion to drop to 25%.

If your simulator cant take into account differences in quality of play..ie its a basically a random number tracker, its worthless. What does a "40 buy-in downswing" mean? Groups of 40 that show no profit? I suppose thats not out of the question, and Ive never broken my results that way, but doubt that Ive got any near that length that show 0 or negative results.

A 40 buy in downsing means you lost 40 buy ins. For example, $2200 in the $55s.

40 consecutive no cashes in one table SnGs? And this is supposed to be a possible outcome? Whatever simulator came up with that needs a bit of reality programming. In 4 years of playing SnGs I dont think Ive ever gone more than 8 without at least a 3rd, and Ive never played less than $20s.

a 40 buying downswing doesnt have to be 40 OOTM finishes in a row... but if it does happen it would more likely be over 100+ SnG's... and yes these do happen. ZeeJustin one of the best SnG players there is had a 8K downswing during a 1000 SnG challenge while playing the 200's which is 40 buy ins
