Recently I have been talking to one of my friends about SnGs and statistics, and I decided to finally run the stats on my meek SnG track record. Mostly $20 SnGs on UB (a couple $10s and a couple $30s here and there).
For 76 SnGs so far my ITM is 46.8% and ROI is 40.5%. As I understand it though, n=76 sample size is nothing so I'm not on cloud nine yet. However, there was an interesting observation. I calculated for ITM=0.468, with a uniform distribution of the first, second and third places, my ROI *should* be 41.5%. I must not be getting my fair share of first and/or second finishes.
This inspired me calculate my win rates for these places. This was the result:
1st place: 14.3%
2nd place: 18.2%
3rd place: 14.3%
Before I did this calculation, my friend was saying how you should have more thirds and firsts than seconds, and I seem to precisely reverse that trend. I definitely missed the thread about this. Does this indicate a leak in my SnG strategy? I've always known that shorthanded play was not really my forte, and I'm not sure if I should be concerned.
Any thoughts on this? And if it matters what I can do about it?
