    Im running a profit for the year of a little under $1700 for the year. I have had one score of $1188 in a rush rebuy on tilt (I pretty much only playexclusively on tilt (smaller fields etc) etc), which has helped things massively. I have played 431 MTT's

    I play mainly $4.40 rush sit and go's with an ROI over 60%.

    I want to know whether I am a decent player, or statistically the happy recipient of variance.

    I'm planning a holiday and want to know after 9 months of poker whether I can realistically expect a 97% return (My current ROI for the year on tilt), or whether im interpretting run good completely wrong.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    Things are obviously going well for you, so congratulations.

    I think you would need at least 1000 MTTs so get any kind of an idea, but probably a few thousand to really see how you are going.

    This here:

    MTT Avg. Finish%Early5% (10%)EM16% (20%)Mid.45% (40%)ML22% (20%)Late13% (10%)

    shows me, even after only 400 games, that you are clearly a winning player. I can't tell you whether you could expect an ROI that large in the future, I would need more info.
