ican't give u a itm percentage, but i'd say the win rate is more important
u make with 3 wins out of 10 sngs more profit than with 5 3rd places... just a simple ex.

100 games is an insignificant sample size

ITM doesn't matter. Winrate is what counts. If you make a lot of 2nd places you should look at your heads-up play. If you make a lot of 3rd places maybe you need to be more aggressive on the bubble - risking elimination in order to build a big stack.

Depending on the level of play 5%-20% would be a decent ROI I think.

ROI is all that matters for sng's but for 100 games you can't determine much from that.

I think Rek and Cangurino have the right answer with ROI giving a good overall measurement of your success
