Hi,

The last two weeks and a half have been some what of a roller coaster for me to put it mildly. I am not quite sure if this is "normal"?

To get something out the way-

I am a winning player from these games 5yr track record.

The blind structure is somewhat mixed between Hyper's and Turbo's:

1000 starting stack
Blinds: 10/20 - 7 HANDS
Blinds: 20/40 - 7 HANDS
Blinds: 30/60 - 7 HANDS
Blinds: 50/100
Blinds: 100/200
etc, etc

I have a two part question:

1) The last 2weeks and a half have resulted in a total buyin of approx. $25 000.

- I am even at this moment after that amount of buyin's

Is that normal? and again I reiterate I am a winning player? I definetly feel that I have been putting the chips in ahead more often "ahead" percentage wise then my opponents.

2) Whilst looking at this I had a look at my history for the past 5 years. I have worked out I have a 6% return over X amount of games.

Is this a good SNG figure? (Please bare in mind the structure in play as illustrated above)

Thanks for your time!

This is a troll, isn't it? I mean surely no one is a winning player with years of experience and asks these questions after that?

@KOBMISH:

All because the answer may seem straight forward to you and standard doesn't mean it is to me.

Specifically the 2nd part of my question where I ask about ROI, I genuinely would like to know what is a good ROI? I forgot to mention my buyins range from 20 to 30dollars per game.

So I would appreciate a reply from you if you have the time and energy , thanks.

You should have provided number of games - judging by what you posted later, probably 1k games at abi 25. Also you should have mentioned your ROI. Without these, your question is completely pointless. Assuming the added info - normal can be misleading word, it will happen rarely let's say. Are you a winning player? If you play 2k games a month for 5 years or whatever and win so far, but you have breakeven stretch for 2 weeks, odds are you are a winning player, yes.

If I understand correctly the structure it's probably a good winrate, yes.

Hi Kobish,

Thanks for the reply, appreciate your time.

A week has advanced since we last spoke.

Approx.1370 games total have surpassed @ 25$ buyins correct.

My ROI since I started playing is around 6% as I stated.

So you are saying the following, please correct:

A breakeven stretch over 1370 games is normal? if that is the case can you maybe elaborate on what would be "worrysome"/not normal. Obviously with such a high volume Im beginning to wonder if Im wasting my time even though in previous months I was profitable. These thoughts keep creeping into my head like Is the site rigged etc (Silly maybe, but for such a high volume seems a little bit ridiculous to me) ?

May i also ask what is considered a good ROI? You said 6% is good? I READ on some sites that guys have 10% +? Just wondering maybe given the speed of the blinds 6% is good, looking for your and maybe others opinions on this?

Thanks again for your time.
