What is a decent rate of return on sit n go's? I've been playing a lot of these crappy little 6 handed turbos and have been doing ok...everytime I play cash I lose a bit, then I hit a few of these and build my little roll up... I'm thinking I should avoid online cash all together and stick to crappy sit n go's.

I'm just curious how you figure rate of return on sit'n gos. these take about 30 minutes to complete. The following is a list of my last 14 from thr past couple days.

There's a formula for figuring out your ROI, but I just Sharkscope myself, or look at my PT stats.

From bet-the-pot.com:

"The most important SNG statistic is the ROI -- return on investment. To find this number, first find the net profit you've earned playing SNGs at a certain stakes. Divide this profit by the amount you've "invested" -- the total buyin (including fees) multiplied by the number of SNGs you've played. An ROI of 0% would indicate that you're breaking even."
