How are these ROI's and ITM's? Are these average or good?

Been playing a lot of SNG's lately and was wondering what a good ROI and ITM should be. I haven't played a ton yet and i'm making money but not sure how i'm doing compared to average or good player.

For $200 SNG I have approx 200 played and have 55% for ROI and 52% ITM

For $100 SNG I have approx 150 played and am at 58% ROI and 52% ITM

For $1000 SNG I have 50 played and am 25% ROI but 50% ITM, does this seem wierd?

Funny thing is I have probably 100 or so $50 and lower and my ROI and ITM is terrible?

Can anyone tell me more about my play based on the above numbers? Is the $1000 ones so wierd because the payout structure?

50% ROI has been generally believed to be unsustainable. The reason your ROI is 25 percent with a high ITM is because your 3rd place finishes outnumber your first place finishes by a good amount. You must be making a killing playing the 200s for 50 percent roi, i would make sure you are calculating it right.

the only way you could keep those numbers lifetime is if you were to stop playing

Well, the only thing I can tell from your stats is that your bankroll is considerably higher than the averge player. Congrats on your good run in any case.

Out of curiosity, can you break that down into 1st, 2nd and 3rd, please?

This is the stupidest thread ever. Cant we just band together and agree not to respond to such things? Anyone who plays for such sums of money and has absolutely no concept if these numbers are good or whether the sample sizes are good, is obviously full of @#%. I really have a hard time believing anyone can win at such limits if they arent sure whether a 50% ROI is "good" or not.
