Depends on the level you play at. Usually the higher you play the lower your ROI will be. In the lower stakes (less than $5) a ROI around 25-30% can be considered good. Of course you must play a few hundred games (maybe thousands) before the sample becomes significant.

in my small opinion every positive ROI is good
bwarlitner Nov 4, 2008 4:25 am

it really doesn't matter if you've got a small sample size (prob something in the thousands for it to be close to accurate)

good is probably 70%+

Until recently my ROI stayed around 25%. After a big win it is now in the hundreds. Doesnt mean I am that good of a player, just means I had a really good run once.
Cpt_Tapioca Nov 4, 2008 4:36 am
"good is probably 70%+"

If you go to the Sharkscope leaderboard you'll notice that the currently most successful SnG player has made over $1.000.000 profit and he only has a 5% ROI. A 70% ROI is simply unsustainable over a period of thousands of games.

imho a good ROI is between 20% and 50%. As others others have stated the higher your level the lower your overall ROI will most likely be. But I would rather have 20% of $100 versus 50% of $11.


FYI - You can determine your ROI by (winnings / buyin) * 100. So say you buy into a $10+1 SNG and place first(10 seater - standard 50/30/20) for $50. Your ROI for that tournament would be ($50/$11) * 100 = 454.54%. You would do that on all of your tournaments just add up all of the winnings and the buyins.

am with mora, any+one is a happy one
p0ker_j0ker Nov 4, 2008 4:40 am
Lmao regulator I think thats the wrong roi
Johnnyarms1 Nov 4, 2008 4:48 am
I know my ROI for 2007 was 97% but, hes right about larger butins.mine was all micro play and about 1000 games. so keep it in the positive and look at profit versus winnings. When i played last year, i always tried to get to money even if it meant fold to money. I call it "finance 101" if buyin is $1.10 and if you get to money u get $1.80..........u actually won $2.90 hope u canm figure that out.simple math, if u dont get to money, your account will be $2.90 less than if you did. Thats how i grinded last year. Hope this help, if not and have more questions im sure you could PM me or anyone else here who commented we are here to help
