Sit n go stats

mrpotto · #1 04-23-06, 01:37 PM

Playing only $11 sit n go's on pp over the last 3 weeks, I've compiled the following stats:

54 played
buy in fees $594
winnings $1,012
net $418
in the money percentage 54%
ROI (winnings divided by buy in fees) 170%
1st 12 times (22%)
2nd 11 times (20%)
3rds 5 times (9%)

I know its only a small sampling but at what point should I consider playing $22 sit n gos? My bankroll is around $800. Are there other stats I should track?

Thanks, Chris

ROI is not GROSS winnings divided by your buy ins - it's NET. So yours is 70%, which is still very good (and will likely drop when you sample size increases).

If you go by the 5% or 20 buy in rule, you should be good to go to move up to the $20 ones if you are comfortable playing them.

Gotcha net not gross. May alternate between $11 and $22 for a while to be conservative (see who says I can't control this gambling thing!)

Whats the 5% rule?

IMO the 5% rule shouldnt apply to sngs. I like to have at least 50 buyins for my current limit.

You're probably right.

A general rule for good bankroll management is to never have more than 5% of your bankroll in play at any given time - not for any one cash table (NL), or any one tourney buy in, etc.

I agree with Mayhem though - that's probably a bit too risky for SNGs, and 50 buy ins (2%) would be much better. So get your roll to $1000 before moving up to the $20 SNGs...
