    im a member of pokerxfactor.com, and supposidly understand sheet's sng system pretty well.... that may not be the case because my results in the higher levels are not very good.

    At the $15 turbo level I played 138 games for $263 profit and 12% ROI
    $27 turbos I played 213, for 16% ROI and $909 in profits
    $60 turbos I played 159, -5% ROI, and lost $482.
    $110's I only played 44, with 4% ROI and $182 in profit.

    My questions are:
    What are the general differences, or adjustments one must make in these 9 player turbo SNGs?
    Now that I've decided I've got a hole that needs fixed in my game, I'm going back down from th $60's, and I noticed for the first time today, a $32+$3.....

    What difference is there btwn these and the $25+$2s? I do see they don't fill nearly as quickly as the $27s, but are th eplayers that much different?

    Also bankroll wise, how much would one need, or want, to seriously attempt making a living from sngs, at each given level?

    What are the best times of day?

    ANY OTHER INPUT GREATLY APPRECIATED!

    You haven't played enough to know whether you win or lose at each level yet, 500 at a level starts to give you an idea, you can be confident after about 3k SNGs at a level, that you can beat that level. To play seriously, you should be 8 tabling c6hrs a day - min 50 per day. So you have roughly a 2 week sample. To make a living you need min 50 buy-ins, 100 is much better.

    Adjustments, hmm if I could answer that I'd be caning the 1ks - ask AJKHoosier1, he's moved from 27s to 1ks in c 6 months. There are "fish" at every level, but you have to be able to beat the good players to make a living at it. If you assume you need an 8% ROI to be successful, you can work out how many you need to play at what level to make the income you need.

    eg Income required = $5kpcm/8% = $62,500 invested so at 1000 SNGs per month, = min level 62.5. So if you play 60s, you'll make less than $5k, 114s more, if you can maintain 8% ROI. BigJoe2003 reckons at the higher levels, 8% is crushing them.

    Good luck
