average sng time

unreal_nh · #1 07-10-2005, 10:44 PM

according to sng tracker my average sng time is 38 minutes. My friend's average time is slightly higher at 40 minutes. I was wondering if I could get any pointers on how I could potentially increase my time of play because this disturbing discrepancy is disturbing [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]. Thank you in advance.

Ummm, I don't see what is so disturbing about this. My average time is 35 min. All you should be worried about it ROI.

Unreal...

Not so fast,

According to my last two SNG's, if you have an average time under forty minutes you'll finish OTM every single time. I don't know what you need to do, but you need to fix this disturbingly disturbing disturbance quickly.

You're not stalling every hand??? Are you serious? I don't know one legitimate SNG player who doesn't stall at least 50% of the hands. For one it raises your average SNG time (a huge plus), but it also puts the other players on mega tilt so when you get AA they call with 84s out of spite and you double up.

Geez, you can't be serious. Just play the game and try to win. Sometimes you will bust out early, sometimes the game will go quickly and you'll win. Sometimes you can spend 45 minutes just to bubble out. The average time in itself does not directly affect your ROI, just worry about your play. Gaah [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
