Is it possible to be a professional Sit N Go player? I've been tracking my winning/losing and it's amazing how much better i am at Sit N Gos than cash games.

That got me thinking - are there people that just play SNGs for a living? I'm not thinking of doing it ... but i was just wondering if its even been heard of ... also is there a win/loss margin to think about when moving up to new higher stakes?

there are plenty of people who plan sng's for a living. People grind the $109's and $215's probably.

There is one certain 2p2er who grinds $16s for a living would you believe.

The idea of anyone grinding $100+ is insane to me because the attainable ROI is so small and SnGs are so swingy. I'm sure people to it though, it just takes serious self control.

debateable.

there is a thread on 2p2 in bbv about this and how many millionaires for 2007 for profit their will be. Its suggested the SNG'ers will be more likely, taking away any major MTT cashes of course for both cash and SNG players.
