I play sng's exclusively and have buily my bankroll from total deposits of $440 to a very healthy $3500(+ - 300) in about 6 months i never missed a level really started off playing $1 now i up to $100 sng's, however i had hitches at the $25 i went on a month losing streak. flew threw the 1,2,3 and 5 dollars got up to about $250 from $50 initial deosi, then lost all deposited $100 played to my goal of $350 which went fine moved up to $10sng's did fine, played a month at that level next move was 15 dollars broke the thoudand mark n hit 1300..ish then started playing $25 dollar and i dunno what happened lost the vast majority, lost about $1000 so i withdrew the remaining $400 took about 5-6 days off and then opened a new acount with bonus took bankroll to $1000 playing only $25 dollars, at about $2000 i started $50's all the way to the current $3500 ish.will play $100sng's but only when i sustain 4000+ for like 15/20 sng's. Sng's i find can be really streaky at times ive had days where ill play about 12 a day and cash in ten of them but every now and then it seems like the cards conspire against me!! I love the sng format, cant play cash really when i tried playing cash the limits i played at were too low and there was no skill at all it was a complete card catching exercise, i dont think i could play cash now at all because i feel like i should come first or second in every sng because i feel like ive developed a system that seems to be working well, i use the same moves see the same moves so often i feel like i have an edge over mostly anyone.... dont figure to be a great player but the sng format suits me perfectly and i seem to be nailing it!! hope this doesnt put a curse on me!!

sorry was rambling my point being through experience i like to have 40Games in the tank before i move up a level. that might seem a bit cautious but better to be safe than sorry.

If you want to make them your "main" source of poker income you need at least 100X you MAX level to go for it. 8)

I agree, when you start playing the 109's and 215's you can see some ugly downswings in those.

Whatever you do keep really good stats. Theres a link in some of the posts on here for an awesome SNG excel spreadsheet. I'd play 100 SNGs at a lower level than the $30 or $50 first to see how you do. I'f you're not beating $10 SNGs at around 20% or better ROI (see bet the pot article if you don't know ROI) it could be bankroll suicide playing $30 or $50.
