    Default Good amount?

    This is a pretty general question, how many SnG's are a good test of that level? How many should I play and at what % ITM and % ROI should I need before I step up to the next level of SnG? I just started a test series of 11's, and would like to have something to aim for e.g. 100, 200? I am off to a good start. 6/9 ITM and a 198-99/99 100% ROI with 3 wins, 1 second, and 2 thirds...

    I say play at least 200 or until you're relatively confident in your game. For the $5's, an ITM of 40 - 50% and an ROI of 15 - 30% are solid numbers. But with any sample size less than about 1000, no real conclusions can be drawn.

    Just keep posting hands and learning.

    You seem to be on a pretty good swing right now, hope it continues.

    I think I should stick to SnG's. I'm relentless once I get some chips and the blinds start getting up there. I like the aggressive play where just stealing the blinds makes a big difference. I feel I play well from the short stack, too. Just putting the right players to decisions about their money and such...

    My advice is to just follow Bank roll guidelines. You could move back and forth between higher and lower buyins. This will maximize your experience at different levels, and is likely to expose your leaks faster than overplaying a certain level. I highly expect you to move up and then move back down more than once with this strategy, but it is the best learning curve.

    This is just an update, I only get to play at random right now because I still don't have a computer of my own yet. I'm 9/16 ITM but my ROI is pretty high, I believe I'm doing the math right, (315-176)/176 = 79%.
    5 wins, 2 seconds and 2 thirds....
