PPM4 prize package $15,000

500 player cap for this tournament (only 1 winner wins the package)


How much is this free roll worth given that you are an average multitournament player? What if you were 1 standard deviation above the mean in terms of skill?

What if there were a 2000 players cap on the tournament?

Don't forget to factor in its implied value as being tournament experience that you aren't paying for -- not only is it a loss from the X dollars you'd make per hour elsewhere, but you're gaining free knowledge, factored against you could be having a losing session while you're in the midst of said freeroll.
