Default Sit and Gos for a living, What stakes do you recomend?

I play Sngs on party poker ALOT mostyly 30/3 and alittle 50/5 I find a much higher win rate at 30/3 than 50/5, Im cashing in more than 50% of my 30/3 I know that running good but i have over 100 tournaments under my belt at that level so i know that im not too far off my true average. I havent played too many 50/5s because I have had terrible results. What do you PRO recomend if I want a stable income, playing in bigger games or just playing more small stakes games at a time EX: any where from 4 to 8 30/3$ sngs at a time. I average somthing like 15$ per sng right now i can gurantee that will go down to ten based on my previous records from smallers stakes. If some one could share some records or insight on what I can expect from 50/5 or 100 and 200 dollar buyins you would be helping me out alot. [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I had a 100 SnG streak with -50% ROI. If I had thought it was not that far off my true average I wouldn't be posting this.

Dude, I'm running -6% ROI over my last 120. Trust me, that's not my true average. I know people that are much better than I that are doing worse than that, too. 100 tournies is nothing.

If your numbers really are what you say they are, you know enough math so that you can figure out what your hourly rate is for $30+$3.

If you've done terribly in $50+$5 maybe you aren't profitable at that level. Which means your $30+$3 hourly rate is your max hourly rate. Can you live off of the number you figured out in the first paragraph? Depending on how many tables you play at a time and how many hours you play per week, you probably can.

I've had a 2,000 SNG streak with a ROI of -15%, it's just a downswing, I just have to play a couple more thousand and I'll get that ROI to where it should be. Bad streaks happen, you have to deal with them.

"I've had a 2,000 SNG streak with a ROI of -15%, it's just a downswing,"

Geesus. I'm also guessing that the missing word in your location is "variance".
