well take it as a learning experience because my standards aren't based on my bias towards big volume because I was a sicko grinder (I wasn't), they are based on math.
Your winrate over a sample size will tell you how likely it is you are within X% of your true winrate - 6,000 games is so low that a seemingly respectable ROI (like zerosum's) could be made by someone who, in reality, is no better than break-even.
You should probably look into the variance in SnGs, it may open your eyes and actually help your game out (at least your mental game).

Full discloser I know I am opening myself up here. I just may learn something. So I am prepared to have my eyes opened.
I have used tracking software for just under 13,000 sng's. I played many more but when I first started playing on Party, Paradise, and Pokeroom I did not use tracking software. I have a combined ROI of 7% all the on the sng's I tracked. Sharkscope would confirm this although I don't know if the Pokeroom stats are available there as I never looked.
I have tracked every online sng I played since March of 2006. I never 20 tabled; most of them were played one table at a time. I feel it is fair I can declare myself a winning sng player with that sample size.
Over 500 sng's sample size, the my results would be suspect but 13,000 sng's is clearly enough volume to determine if I am doing something correctly.
My ROI went down from a peak of just under 10% in 2007 to a low of 4% after the UIGA and until Black Friday for just that period. My Total ROI is still at 7% for all 13,000 games. I attribute this to my opponents improving more than any regression to the mean. Players play the bubble way better than they use to. Many training sites like SNG Grinders, PXF, Stox, Cardrunners, Bluefire etc have raised the bar for correct sng play. Also, Collin Moshman's book and software like Wizard and Power tools have also made a stronger pool of sng players. The UIGA killed off many of the shove on the first hand players I played against on Pokeroom.
I saw a Sheets video on Real Poker training. He posted one SNG video on that site several months before he and Bax started PXF with Mindwise. That one 25 minute Party Party SNG transformed my SNG game and I immediately started beating sng's after watching that video about 10 times in a row.
I had a bad stretch on Fulltilt after the UIGA for several months fortunately avoided badly tilting and weathered that period and bounced back nicely. But for any period of 1000 games or move I have always been a winning sng player.
You may be right about a larger pool of players and 100% so in cash and multi tournament play but an aware sng player: Tight early especially in early position and ICM based shoves on the bubble can take you a long way in $10 and $20 SNG's and you don't need a sample size of 200,000 games to prove it.
By the way, large volume Sng players are some of the easiest to exploit. One of my favorite tactics was to sharkscope everyone at my table and see how many multi-tablers were there. I would tag them and mercilessly steal from them in the early and mid-game folding every time I got 3 bet. Anyone playing over 12 tables at the $10 and $20 level plays so mechanically. Even with these extra steals my stats on a villains HUD are still rocky enough that it made it very easy to pick up extra chips to avoid being the short stack on the bubble. Thus giving me move time to find a quality hand to shove. Most players like to avoid high-volume regs I know that exploiting high-volumn regulars was a huge part of my win rate.
