ROI Return on investment

ROI is such an important thing to so many players, and outside of the fun of the game it is why we play, to make money. I always believe that finishing ITM is more important in a lot of respects, because you can't have an ROI without being ITM.

I play mostly SNGs and it is very important to get to the money before you worry alot about anything else. I recently had a run of 15 ITM finishes with 11 of them being first. I just checked my ROI today after having kind of a down day to where things just didn't work out right, you know it is bad when your Aces get cracked by 98o by someone that doesn't know how to play a shortstack, but I digress.

My ROI has skyrocketed based on all the first place finishes, which you would expect, but it still is quite shocking. I makes me feel pretty good about not hitting the money in the 3 I just played. I was going to not play anymore today because it just didn't feel like a good day, but after seeing my results, I am inspired to hit the tables again.

ROI is very fluid if you are not getting some firsts to go with your thirds, but ITM is the place to start, don't worry about ROI until you are consistently hitting the money.
