Pointless to think about.
1. No one plays the same
2. Who cares

I wonder what is everyone's individual record for winning SNG's. I would think mine is around 4 nothing special

1 out of 100,000

I have a feeling that this number distorts what you are actually asking. What are the circumstances that lead you to ask this question?

Sorry about the earlier post. But the better question would be if I win 1st x percent and everyone I play against plays equally as poor what are the odds of winning 5 in a row? I believe sample size would be a huge factor in this as well.

Why the need to make a simple question sound so difficult?

If everyone plays exactly the same (and it doesn't have to be poor play) then over the long run you will win 1 in 10.

[/ QUOTE ] yes it would. The long run means the long run.
