With my tourney winnings, ive started playing $55 and $33 heads up turbo SnG's. Ive done very well at the $55 SnG's, starting at a $450 BR and bringing it up to $1,500 in a day.
Ive been making a spread sheet with wins, win%, net (wins-losses-rake), etc.
My question is when will these stats start to mean something? I only have 73 HU matches on my record, and i have a feeling i cant start to take anything meaningful out of the stats until i hit 500-1000 HU matches, correct?
For example, im winning 79% of the 33 $55 mathces ive played and only 56% of the 34 $33 matches. Now those extra wins can be dumb luck with the tiny sample size ive got, but when can i start to pull meaningful stats out of this. Thanks.

Personally I don't think your stats will ever be meaningful if you don't apply proper bankroll management. Eight buyins for heads up SNGs is simply not enough.

Well i had 400 in the account and 1k that i was willing to add back from my cashout.
Now I have 32+ buyins, so i am good with BR management now.
Lets please get back to my original question, thanks

500~ will give you a good starting point to interpreting your stats.
You don't need this many to know that you can crush these levels.

I did the same thing at Titan poker, i went from about 300$ to 1K in about a week by only playing $31.50 HUSNGS.
Your results show that you are good enough to be playing here, I'm positive you wont be able to sustain your winrate of 79%, but as long as you are 60%+ you should be in good shape. If you are getting rakeback, and you can sustain 55%+ at the higher limits you can be making a nice wage.
However I wouldn't recomend moving up to the 100s until you have about 4K in your roll.

ROI%>ITM%.
Basically if after 500 sngs, you're +50%, you then know that you're certainly good enough to place and make profit, but ROI % will more accurately depict how much money you're making, and will also determine how good your end game (after ITM) is by seeing if you come 3rd far more often than 1st or vise versa.

If you're coming 3rd in a head-up SNG you are doing something very very wrong.
ITM%=WIN% for HU
Although with any tournament your Return on Investment % is the number that will give you the best idea of exactly how well you beat each limit.

Ooops, my bad - didn't realize it was HU sngs.
Still ROI% is good to see if/how much you're beating the rake.
