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.

I'm guessing it was supposed to be sarcastic

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.

Apparently this topic has been discussed before and resolved [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
I tried a search but didn't find anything though. Very disturbing. So disturbing especially since my 35 min avg time dwarfs in comparison to unreal's 38 mins which he wants to improve!

I honestly don't know where you people get your info, but you can't play at Party (with 1000 chips) average 40 minutes and be worth a bucket of bird s***.

Whatever most of you use to track gametime--it's wrong. I think for 1000 chip SNGs the average (with the blind level) is about 50 min. for a solid 35-40% ITM player.

Well I play at the party 20's with only 800 chips and my ITM is 39% but that's really insignificant. How the hell do you get 50 mins/SNG?!?! Should I move up in stakes to get the extra chips and hopefully extra time?
