ROI

[Maryna]

Does anyone know a link to a page where i can calculate my ROI (9-handed SNG) and what is a good ROI%?

You don't need a page to calculate your ROI. It is simply your net winnings divided by your buyins. Eg. if you come first in a $10+1 SNG for a net win of $34, your ROI is 34/11 = 309%.

I am going to add a section to the FAQs on "what's a good ROI" but in summary it depends on buyin. Over a large sample size (at least 500 SNGs but preferably several thousand) 25% should be acheivable at $5-$10 level, going down to about 5-8% at the $100+ level.

Wow.....25% at $10 level. That seems pretty high to me. Please add it to the FAQ's.

I don't have nearly enough games to justify my ROI vs someone with a few thousand games. I always thought that a solid %10 would be good. m I way off here? I play one table at a time...usually $10/1 or 6 person $13 games.

I haven't played $10 SNGs for a while but I'd say that 20-25% is a good ROI for this level (and you wondered whether learning ICM would increase your ROI - jk of course). The thing is that most winning players will move up to higher levels well before they have a "sufficient sample size" at low buyins.

That's funny......

Going to be digging into ICM for the next month or so and try to apply it during my play. Let's see if I can get that ROI up to the 20% level.
