A quick update
So far I have managed to play 2 $5.50 SnG Tournaments and picked up $32.50. Not a bad return. I think it may be time to move up to a higher stakes game as I seem to be consistently placing in the money at the $5 mark. We'll see how it goes.
I would highly suggest you reconsider moving up the stakes. Placing in the money is not nearly the same as winning. For a $5 tournament you probably should not consider moving up until you have managed to hit the final table consistently (as in at least 10% of the time) and definitely not until you have managed to actually win one of the tournaments. Simply hitting the payout is not such an impressive feat. If you move up your winnings will quickly turn to losses.
