I have trouble comparing cash game win rates to SNG ROIs... I guess it just comes down to the hourly rate, which really depends on how many tables you are playing simultaneously.
I can't disagree with anything you said, but I do believe that you could turn that 8-10% ROI into a ton of money if you play enough.
Take this guy (livb112 on Full Tilt), for example, who I found yesterday... He's up almost $120k YTD (yes, 30 days) in HU SNGs exclusively. That's not too shabby. His lifetime ROI is mere 6%, but he's turned that into a $700k profit (yes, PROFIT - not total winnings like the MTT guys like to report) through about 16k matches. I have no idea how much he plays, but I would think a full time grinder could get in 100 per day easily enough, meaning this is well under one year's worth of work.
Yes, he's playing at very high levels now, but he hasn't been the whole time, of course. And those figures aren't including RB (or other bonuses), which by my math adds almost 1.5% to your ROI (27% of 5%).
