Default OT: SnG Challenge for ROI at the Stars $60\'s

Hey guys,

I would like to offer a friendly competition/challenge for achieving the highest ROI at the PS $60's. A friend of mine and I did this in January and I felt like it was some of the best poker I've played in a while (I'm sure a ran good too, but still). I'm sure, given STTFer's competitive nature, that this sort of competition helps others play better as well.

I'm still pretty new to 2+2 so I'm not sure how this would work (i.e. how to monitor it, what buy-in is good, etc.) or if it's even a feasible idea. So please speak up if you're interested and/or have any ideas on how to run it.

Thanks,
Chipchucker

Edit: And of course we would put some money on the line.

It's interesting, for as much as STTFers are degenerate gamblers and thus like to wager on the outcome of essentially random events, that players' ROIs are not essentially random events on which STTFers like to wager money.

Sit and go ROI;s are not "essentially random events."

Yeah, that is interesting. I thought a lot of people would wanna do this. We could do slightly lower stakes (like the $35's) if that would interest more people.

It depends on the sample size.

99.99% of sngs players cannot amass a meaningful sample size in a month. stop trying to be smart people.
