How many STT  is Jaganelli talking about? 75% of 10 STT's or 75% of 1000 STT's

It obviously depends on what level you're playing but many people don't realise the varience involved. I have had 2 1000 sng break even runs. I am definitely not the world's best sng player but it's so easy to play a thousand have 30% ROI and think you're the greatest player in the world and that this is the easiest money ever. You really need to play about 10,000 IMO to have a clue. A couple of years ago it was a lot easier than it is now, there were a lot more idiots playing. The best sng players in the world now are only claiming long term 20% or slightly better. I personally am delighted with 10%. All these people (not on here but in general) who saying yeah 20% is so easy should be playing 1000 $215's a month and earning $43K a month while the going is still so good.

I've only ever played 4

[thetank]

Over 30% should be attainable at low limit sit n go's.
If you have over 30% ROI the variance won't be that big (25 buy-ins will be an adequate bankroll), it is for this reason low limit sit n go's are ideal for building a bankroll.
I expect 10-15% at the moment from my efforts at middle limit sit n go's. If I played one at a time I'd expect 20%+.

Beware Variance!

I don't play much online these days, time pressures, but in 2005 I lived online, this was pre-blonde, I played exclusively $500 & $1,000 SNG's on Stars, though I started in $100's & $200's.

I ran up nothing to $27,000 - thought I was the dogs whastsits, but then it dropped back to $8,000, I managed to drop $19,000 in 2 months!

As it happened, blonde came along, I never got time to play much online, & I have commercial reasons to play elsewhere these days, so I cashed out.

But thats variance. The lesson is you MUSt take your ROI over a LONG period, and you need a hefty bankroll & big cahoonas to cope with adverse swings. Or the intelligence to cash out at the top of the graph, but greed prevents that usually.....

A friend of mine, some might know him from VC or Boards.ie (HectorJelly) played a stupid amount of these over the course of a few months and his stats were quite amazing, now he is quite some player and if he had those swings the average players would be crazy. Like byron said 500 run loss is not unlikely!

So if you were to play say 1 or 2 sng's 5 times a week, say 30 in a month you could go 2 years losing but still be a winning player at that level!
