A world class SNG player could sustain a positive ROI in $10 SNG's without looking at his cards, provided his opponents didn't know he was doing it.

Isn't a better question if a world class SNG player could do this at HIGH LIMIT SnG table? (Honestly - don't think it coudl be done a $10 now that I think about...)

No. If it can be done, it would only be possible at low stakes. High stakes players don't make enough mistakes. Whereas in a $11, he'll be folding his first 30-40 hands and the other players will be calling all ins with inside straight draws. It will be 6-7 handed by the time he starts playing, which is the only reason he might have a shot at this.

Good point.

Could also steal some limped or heads-up pots on the flop in position depending on the characteristics of the opponents and the flop texture. And add in some resteals and PVS-type moves starting when the blinds are 25-50ish. I really think this is possible, and a friend told me I was crazy.

Definitely fact.

I'm far from world class but I've played enough 11s to think that I'd at least have a chance to do this.

In fact, if there were some way to verify results (but I suppose there's not), I'd be up for a challenge.
