That's quite a worrying post really. Do you have much data on the changes in a good player's edge in the $200s? I'd be interested to see how fast the games are improving, though I guess you can't extrapolate.

Also "Zee" is pronounced "Zed" in England.

If a reasonable person plays 1000 SNGs and has a 12% ROI, and then goes on a horrible run and drops 37 buy-ins over 50 SNGs... what will his answer be if you ask him "what is your ROI?"

He will say 12%. Even though it is not.

I see it all the time, on this forum and in person.

I see honest, professional, poker-playing friends respond the same way.

My 6% number is a REAL number. It counts misclicks, internet disconnects, drunken evenings, bad decisions, family deaths, and a breakup with your girlfriend. It counts a bad streak that may be worse than what you think you deserve. It also assumes that the player multi-tables.

Life and statistics happen.

Many players will play a lot of $215s and have better than 6% ROI. I know several with >10% for a long time.

But if you want to know what the true, expected long-term ROI of a great player over 1 year, or 10,000 $215 SNGs will be... it will be closer to my 6% than to any number suggested by other zealots.

Anyone who vigorously disagrees with this will not be around to argue the fact in 12 months. (a side bet I have yet to lose)

Probably the smartest thing said in this entire thread. I have yet to meet a player who honestly takes into account every SNG played whether they're drunk/sober/upset, etc. They conveniently leave out cold streaks and thus don't get a true ROI reading.

I just completed 1000 sngs at the 215s and I had a 7% ROI and I suck. Im sure there are people beating them for 12%+. Who is the biggest winner on this board. Just curious. Not trying to Pry. Or maybe I am..... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Sorry to hijack this thread but the other one was locked.


I have figured out who this stanzee guy is; first I thought it was just a gimmick account that woulndn't go away...but now I know.

He's Jordan Berkowitz, there's just no other explanation, all the signs point to yes...he's extremely arrogant, and is gonna be "big" soon, spends his bankroll on stupid superficial things, and other stuff.

Of course, he has to cover it up somehow by pretending he's from England, even though Lori caught him in a slip up of british slang.

Who the hell is Jordan Berkowitz?
