Jungix, be careful with the shots in $109+ tournaments if your bankroll is 7k and you do not want to reinvest. I have had first hand experience last year of taking too many shots in the $109-215 range and it showed dramatically in my ROI.
Look up my thread in the goals and challenges where I have identified some issues I had with bankroll management. My roll is similar to yours and I have identified a schedule to play which will help me build lots of points and manage variance (hopefully!). I also work a full time job and know that my schedule is probably still tight for time but achievable. Much depends on whether you are a single person with no kids I reckon!
Good luck!

Actually, my partner is really supportive and I tend to stick to predefined times of playing so that I’m not taking the p***!
With the SNGs I think as you step up no doubt ROI will drop. I can’t imagine too many players with an ROI of more than 5% once they get to $60 buy-ins. It seems that the method is a volume game to earn VIP points and cash rewards on top of a small ROI. FWIW I’m starting now at $30 9 and 18 mans on Stars. I am pretty sure I will be profitable in those given that I used to exceed 4% ROI pre Black Friday on FTP. I have reviewed my first handful of games having played $15-30 last week as a trial and I felt the standard was fairly weak even in the $30 games. My plan is to move up to $60 assuming I can comfortably beat the $30 games after say 1,000 tournaments.
If you want to do some study on the SNG side of things I might be interested in that if you are?

Well done, definitely sounds like we will be playing SNGs against each other a fair bit
If you are on Skype, PM me your details and I will set up a contact if you're up for some SNG discussion. Be good to bounce some ideas around with someone operating at a similar level.
Good luck with the grind!
