Why wouldnt you put it in red? You are down overall for the tourney so I see no way it would be in green.

Because I like to keep track of my ITM % and I might overlook it otherwise

Well then, I guess it depends on how you define "In the money".

Not trying to be a smart-ass here, but that really is the crucial question.

For me, I would enter it in red. I lost money, end-of story.

red, make new column for "ITM"

I guess yellow could connote the same thing.

Honestly, ITM% doen's mean [censored], _especially_ if you are ITM but losing money, like in a rebuy.

I'm not a fan of rebuys. I prefer the "do or die" philosophy. One big mistake and you're out. It tends to keep people in line...mostly.

if a party 100+9 has exactly 100 players, 11th-20th pay $100, for a net -$9. weird.
