I'd agree on the hourly rate stuff. I still kind of have fun playing them, though. As OP said, it's a nice change of pace.

If the posted figures from 2+2 are correct then players are wasting their time playing SNGs instead of cash games. The hourly rates on those posted figures are a joke unless youre playing 20 at a time and I doubt anyone can sustain thouse ROIs while playing more than 2 or 3.
The one SNG I played and won this morning was definately WAY tougher than what i remember from 2 years ago so I agree that my previous ROI is probably no where near sustainable anymore. I used to be able to fold my way into the money, literally w/o playing a hand sometimes.

net profit : $8.70
ROI% : 7.97%
ITM% : 45.05%
I made some calculations and if the rake was $0.10 (standard 10%) and the tournies were 10 man (big assumption that I still get the same finish with the extra man but can't think of another way to calculate it), my stats could be more like
net profit : $30.90
and ROI% : 30.87%
I assume these figures look more like what I should expect although it seems it will take me more like 200 games to reach the 20 buy-in profit mark. Have I missed anything I should be taking into consideration here?

If you have the patience to play games that are below your "real" bankroll, then I think this is a great plan. Conservative with the roll is always good, and playing low limits when learning a new game is the way to go.
Good luck with it, and remember to post lots of hands for analysis.

Does this sound like a reasonable way of moving up and finding my level while gaining the experience I will need higher up? I plan to treat this $300 (plus future profits) as though it were my entire bankroll for these games and limit the maximum level I play at based on it being at least a 40 buy-in roll.
My real bankroll is currently between $7k and $8k (after a $1200 downswing - hence the desire for a change sometimes), with total profits being $6k above that so going bust with the sit n go roll won't affect my regular game, although it will be extremely annoying.
