you sng players can help me out here a lot. I just read a book (the poker mindset) feel like im ready to play. only had 125 dollar br, wanted to build it playing solid poker in $5 6 handed sngs.

started out winning 3 of my first 4.

but since then, i've played in 11. winning 1 and finishing 2nd in 6. cashing in 7 of 11 is good, but if im not winning i have to cash in 50% to get my money back.

I use to play a lot of heads up, my record is 163-136, not great but not horrible.
overall played in 149 3-9 player sngs, cashing in 65, 44% which is higher than i've seen anyones looking up stats.

in 46-180 person multtables i have 215 tournies, with a +65% roi.

my question to you, not winning the 6 handed tournies, but turning a profit, should i try and find something else like back to mtts. Or should i stick with it, even with the recent 1-11 win rate, (6 2nd place finishes.)

Those are all really small sample sizes.

Well with the 6max sngs you should play like 500 of them minimum then decide if you want to keep going. 11 is... like a few hours of sngs, it doesnt amount to much, if you are a winning player still at the end of 500 then keep going, of course! If not.... perhaps try something else?

they are kind of small sample sizes, but go with your percentages, but not just the win or cash percentage, where are you getting the most return. Just cause you cash in mtt, after 4 to 5 hours and you just make the money its not really worth the time. If you're constantly making the final table that is obviously the way to go
