Maybe you sould try single table sit n gos and see if they are profitable for you?

Yep this is good advice, less players, easier to cash and you get a feel for short handed play and bubble play too which is good. The problem with 1$ tourneys at pokerstars is there are too many people in them, but now they have games capped at 1000 players so maybe try some of those.

31 tournaments is a very small sample size, especially if the fields are large. For the purpose of illustration, let's assume the field size is 1000 every time. Mathematically, a given player's expectation would be to make the final 10 once in every 100 tournaments.

As for bad ROIs, check out Negreanu's recent blog where he presented some data for people who had played a bunch of $10K WPTs and lost bundles.
