    I have just been paid off from my job and I now have an opportunity to take the plunge and play full time. I built a decent roll last year but blew a large chunk of it in Vegas :). I intend grinding nine and ten player sit and gos and hope to play thirty a day at $22. I would appreciate any advice from anybody with any experience of multi tabling sit and gos. I am hoping to achieve a ROI somewhere between 10-20% and hope to make a real go so I dont have to look for a job. Any advice would be most welcome.

    At 10-15% ROI which is pretty good he's looking at $66-99 a day at best.

    I was hoping to make around $70-$100 per day. I may need to play more tables to achieve this.

    Get good at cash games... You could make way more than this just playing 50NL, which is incredibly easy.

    Learn to multi-table more efficiently

    AHK Scripts, Tracking programs/HUDs, Stacking Tables, etc.

    If you really intend on grinding SNGs to make money your volume is going to have to be stepped up drastically or you could go month+ on the downside of variance easily. Best of luck.
