For purposes of discussion, let's say we are dealing with a $2000 buy-in NL HE tourni at the WSOP with 300 players. The average player has a 1/300 chance of winning. What chance does someone like Daniel Negreanu have of winning? My intuition is that his chance is around 10/300. I would say that if the average player has a 1/n chance of winning, then a top 10 tournament player is 3/n or 4/n, and a solid amateur (who has played in,say, twenty live tournaments, and plays 20-hrs of internet poker weekly) has a .5/n or .75/n chance.
