$5 SnG Stats....very small sample :((

[rvrking22]

Ok so I decided I wanted to review my $5 SnG stats to see were i was at because I really had no idea how I was doing at this level...besides the fact that I was fairly consistent in finishing ITM..So I jumped on sharkscope and went through my stats with a fine marker....are these stats, firstly correct and second are these stats decent for this level?
Here they are:
Total SnG's played: 82
Total ITM finishes: 36
1st- 11
2nd-16
3rd-9
Total Winnings: $407.00
Total sum invested: $451.00
Total ROI (???): not sure how to calculate it...would be nice if someone could do it for me..thanks

ROI is profit / buy ins

the stickies have average ROI and % stuff in them.

ROI= 100 x (total profit)/(total buyin)

100 x -44 / 451 = -9.76%

You would prefer that number to be positive , somewhere around 20%. But your sample size is not large enough.

[rvrking22]

well that kind of sucks..thought I had a better ROI then that..thanks for calculating it tho...Oh and would a reasonable sample size be like 200-300 SnG for a level or is that still to small?

[Illfavor]

Most ppl say 500, then they say that still may not be enough. Shoot for 500, and the gold.

If you are playing on pokerstars, then I think your total winnings aren't correct.

In the $5 SNGs, the payout is as follows:
1st: $22.50 x 11 = $247.50
2nd: $13.50 x 16 = $216
3rd: $9 x 9 = $81

Total Winnings = $544.50
Total Cost = 82 * $5.50 = $451
Total Profit = $544.50 - $451 = $93.50
ROI = $93.50 / $451 = 20.73%

20% is decent...keep it up.

which is a good lead in to me saying you should be tracking your own results and not relying on SS for anything more than an occasional check.

I have played over 800 SNG's at the $5.50 level with a 26% ROI and still have no idea if I am any good. LOL

um...I would be very pleased with these results...nice stats....

Oh and drmcboy...thanks for the suggestion...I've just started doing a poker journal and I will be logging my sessions and stats in there...

A lot of people don't even think 1000 games is enough to tell your true ROI

[rvrking22]

thats a lot of SnG to play and not get a good idea of where you stand at that level....I guess I will try and shoot for at least 300 at the $5 level and see where to go from there...realizing this is still a small sample...
