Congrats Irexes,

Just a note - I've recorded a lot of my SnG efforts and yes.. you will need to play at least 300, seriously, to get the deviation to slow down enough.. you will find that 50 SnG's is really nothing, as you can not place in your next 5 in a row and that will drop your ROI dramatically.

I believe I was at like 45% when I had was at the 50 SnG mark, but then later that dropped fast.

An interesting thing too, that I noted, was the more SnG's I played, the worse my ROI got.. but only after a certain number was it unprofitable. For example, my ROI was highest when I only played 1 at a time, but if I played 3 at a time, it would only lower by about 5-10%. The difference is you're playing 3 at a time, so you're making 3x as much via your ROI per hour (a SnG averaging one hour). But then as I started to play 4, 5, 6, 7 SnG's at once, my ROI dropped DRAMATICALLY - to where I was just breaking even basically.

So it's definitely need to experiment and see what the best way is to increase your hourly profit. I'm not sure yet (I haven't played much poker at all in the past 2 months so my experimentation isn't done yet), but I'm thinking the 3 SnG's at once was best, I believe I was averaging $30 an hour doing that. Which isn't much better than a decent job, but if you truely average that say over 500 SnG's, then really all you have to do is work 4 hours a day and you're making decent money..
