Trying to determine a couple of things regarding SNG play.
1. Is there a standard ITM finishes (%) one should shoot for? Something along the lines of the statements below (I just made up the %).
"A winning SNG player finishes ITM ~50%"
"You generally need to finish ITM 30% to break even"
"Shoot for 10% 1st place and 40% overall ITM finishes"
2. Is there a method for determining optimal SNG tables? It seems that the more the players the higher (%) you must finish to get ITM.
For example (PS):
* $1+.20 PS SNG (9-player) pays top 3 places (33%)
* $1+.20 PS SNG (18-player) pays top 4 places (22%)
* $1+.20 PS SNG (45-player) pays top 7 places (15%)
Does it all come down to preference, skill (maybe you're better at 1-table), time available, etc.? What other factors should I consider? Feel free to point me to further reading.
TIA!
