Big time J.V. question: I was wondering what ITM and ROI stand for and how they are calculated. I can't tell you how dumb I feel that I can't figure it out without help. Also, how do you use the results to determine if you should be playing in bigger games (That won't happen for a while.) Thanks for your help

ITM = In the money = You gettin' paid!

ROI = Return on Investment.

I don't know if there's any trickiness to the ROI formula, so I won't try to post one, but basically it's how much you won compared to how much you put in.

ITM = number of games placed in the money / number of games entered expressed as a percentage.

ROI = ($ won - $ entry fees) / $ entry fees expressed as a percentage.

Use the search function for ITM and ROI and you will find long discussions on both this forum and MTT Forum.
