Did a total am a winner though not overly pleased....not sure why I'm posting ...although it is positive not worthy of many Gees or pats on the back...

33 ist.. (150) (+ 4950)
30 2nd (90) (+ 2700)
34 3rd (60) (+2040)
I hit the board about 42.7% of the time and make about $10 a game...anyone have any comments...similar/better results?

That equates to about $10 an hour. Or about 1 bb per hour ina 5-10 game. Good results--is that good enough for you? 42.7% ia a little low
are you aggressive early on? do you focus on being in the money or winning the tourney? The avg SNG is about 70 hands--10 hands through 7 levels, so your sample is a little small, the important thing----
you're making money and keeping good records

Those are excellent results and you should be proud. To be making $10 per game in $30+3 sit'n'go's is just fine. You can't expect to be making $30 per game there. Looks like it is time for you to move up a little and test the waters in $50+5 or $100+10.

You're up 2 grand in which would be about 15-20 days of work for me (playing that many sitngo's a day, I do about 10) And I consider myself damn good at them and I'd take that in a heartbeat.

I don't have exact numbers unfortuantely, but I am up about 4 grand in them, but I believe I have done closer to 600-700 of them, perhaps more. $10 per game is as good as can be possibly expected. And I think when people say they expect to cash in 50% of them they are slightly exxaggerating their winning %'s and its likely more in the 40% range.

Considering after 700 sit n go's I've contributed 2 grand in rakes, being up a couple grand is great as far as I'm concerned.


However, I've played plenty of 50's as well.... and I simply think the 30's are more profitable simply due to the level of play. I'm sure I can beat the 50's consistently, but I believe for less profit and I'll have greater swings, so I feel no need to move up.
