i doubt any dallas fan has the gumption required to play 200 sngs, let alone play them profitably.

200 SnG's and your ROI has to be higher than the total time you spent playing.

Eg. 20% ROI, you cant use more than 20 hours.

Im sure it would have to be tuned finely to create and optimum challenge but its an idea. Maybe it would need to be 100 sngs or somewhere in between to get the right ROI/hours ratio.

[Demiparadigm]

Now 200 snGs on 20 hours would be impossible for me, but hey...

I'll get in on the challenge. I vow to play 20 $20 SnGs in 20 hours with 20% ROI. That's doable.

Setting a goal for your ROI is stupid. You can theoretically play perfectly and get a ROI of -5 over 200 sngs. So anyone who's talking about setting a goal for ROI is a fish and should start posting in the Beginners Circle, FullContactPoker or on twoplustwo.

Um, did I say "Trikflow is a moron"? Though I should have, I didn't.

Bleh. This is a bad morning. Fire alarm wakes me up at 8 am. So I fire up 6 sngs and the fire alarm shoots off again and I bubble them all.

I didnt mean setting a goal. Its more like a challenge, see if you can do it. Once you finished the set of 100, 200 or whatever then figure out your ROI and see if you beat the challenge.

I never said that if you dont attain a good ROI then you somehow played bad.

[mike4066]

BUMP! Weekends over fess up

[ilikeaces86]

meh got lazy and only played 125

[Staple Gun]

Lazy American

[Trikflow77]

oh played 92 109s with an 8% ROI..........+800

PLayed 124 55s with a 11% Roi ............. +750


Not a great weekend but decent, and with some MTT cashes i ended up with +3k for the weekend.

This challange was too easy, i am going to have to try for 300-400 the next time i go on a sng bender. Thank you and ship it

[rubixstreub]

hmmm, wish I could make 2 weeks salary in three days and complain about it being to0 easy. Nice work Trik

[Trikflow77]

The volume of sngs was the easy part........it aint easy being greasy...........

What do you consider to be a perfect long term ROI? 50%-55% or so? If you play *perfect* is that maintainable long term? If so, why can't you set a ROI goal for yourself like 35%+ ROI over x SnGs without being a fish who should post in the beginners circle? Short term statistics are still representative of long term ones. Who would you say is the better player, the guy with -40 ROI over 200 SnGs, or the guy with 65? It's possible it's the -40 guy, but who is it most of the time? ROI is a stat that tracks your profit to cost ratio, long term and short term, and i don't think setting a goal for it is dumb.

I set mine cuz that was the number that would put me at a comfortable bankroll for moving up in stakes. Also because the first 38 SnGs after sept 15th had me at 89% ROI, so i figured 30% was gonna be easy over 200. Is this dumb?

[lovemachine]

hes playing party sngs where 15% roi is good so definately not 50-55%, that isn't sustainable. he knows his roi will probably about this over time so there is no point setting an roi goal because he has played enough to know what his roi is so the only thing you can do from there is just play good poker sng after sng and the results will come.

by the way, i play the 50s and 100s on party too, although mainly the 100s lately, what names do you play under trikflow?

and lastly, aces, i'll let you get by with only 125 since you won rebuy madness, but just this once. you need to cash a mtt for 20k if you want off the hook next time.

15% over the long run is crushing party 55's on up....period. A 50% ROI is laughable.

That's why I play at Stars.

5 SnGs this weekend, and I pretty much equalled your take (on an admittedly very good run). Different strokes for different folks. I just don't have time in my schedule to knock out 50+ per day.

It's stupid becuase short term variance occurs over a shit load of sngs. So over 200 sngs one guy is a winner and one is a loser, you still can't accurately pick who is better. You can say who is richer, but not who is better. Sure it's more likely to be the guy who won more, but what does that get you? "I'm more likely to be a winner since I set a goal for 30 roi this weekend and ended up with 60"? I really don't know how else to explain it.

You should consider ROI to be a randomly generated number over 100 sngs. So setting a goal for a randomly generated number is just silly. In poker you should be setting goals for things you can do. Like X sngs or XXX profits and hope for a ROI of 30. But if after 200 sngs, you didn't meet your goal ROI of 30% even though you played perfectly, have you really failed?
