Default ROI vs AVG

i play the party STT. lets say my ROI in the long run is 12% .. does that mean that i am <3% better than the avg player?

so if someone had a ROI of 20% they would be 3% better than the avg player..

that means every skill you learn only makes you a tiny % better than other players/.

am i wrong?

you're on some wacky math ish, dude!

the average ROI is -10%. if your ROI is +12%, that makes you a lot more than 3% better than the average player.

it's easy to forget that someone with a 20% ROI is actually MURDERING their level...but getting robbed by the rake down in the parking garage.

well i mean that you win 3% ROI from anyone of the 9 guys on the table. 3*9=27% ROI - 10% rake.

The average player has a ROI of -10%. This is due to the fact that the average player breaks even but loses due to the rake. This means that if you have a +12% ROI, you are doing very well because that is 22% better than what the average player would make.

i think this is bad math. you're seriously twisting some numbers around and making conclusions. so, in answer to your question, you are not "3% better than everyone at the table" - that's just bogus.

So if you are playing an $11 and get 20%ROI, you average a return of $13.20 for every $11 you play. The average player achieves $10 ($11 minus fee). How is that 3%?? More like 30%...

This makes no sense at all. It sounds like you need to get the ROI concept straight.

if you break even it means you are better than average because you beat the rake

do not underestimate the rake, i payed several thousand dollars last month in rake...that ish adds up.
