I also can't grasp how someone can play enough HU tables at a time to duplicate the same hourly rate they'd get playing at full table SNGs. ROI for the best players at the higher buy-ins is the same.
Maybe you can do it playing continuous rather than sets, I dunno.

Don't forget that HU SNGs are generally much faster than full table SNGs, so while you may not play as many at a time, you can play more per hour.
I haven't even dabbled with Turbos yet (well, I did a very little bit in the beginning but hated them). |

My friend adrian plays exclusively HU SNGs at the highest levels on stars ($1100, $2200, $5500) and finished 2nd on the leaderboard last year -- I'll ask him what his % is and let you guys know

His overall ROI is 9% -- although it is lower at the $5500 levels (closer to 6%) and higher at the $1100 level (closer to 12%) As far as win % I dunno.
He's currently 3rd on the leaderboard for this year

That's sweet.
I hope we are all in Vegas at the same time this year. I'd really like to chat with him sometime. Does he play cash games? I assume he's decided HU SNGs are more profitable for him, and I wonder why. |

He plays cash games live (although a lot less often now that he's been crushing it online) but not much online -- he says he has a tough time adjusting to cash games because he plays too aggressively against too many stations... hes also paranoid about collusion
