Most Common Finish
 

Just curious, real quick. What are your first two most common finishes?

Me: Most common is first, second most common is fourth.

Re: Most Common Finish
 

most: 10th
second most: 9th

actually I have no idea because I don't have PT, but if I had to guess I'd say 4th was my most and either 1st or 3rd was my second most. I made it to the top 4 about 80 percent of the time before I went bust. I haven't learned to play the bubble yet...

Re: Most Common Finish
 

most common: 2nd (18%)
2nd most common: 3rd. (15%)


good news is my first place % is increasing...
what percent are you hitting first and 4th?

also, PT isn't needed to figure this

Re: Most Common Finish
 

Most frequent finish: 3rd (19%) then 1st.(16.5%)

Re: Most Common Finish
 

Im about:

16% first
10% second
12% third
15% fourth

This reflects my style pretty good. Sometimes on the bubble I am forced to turn it down, and glide into the money with a short stack. Sometimes my opponents allow me to steal likea hungry dog, so then I either end up busting or having a large chip advantage. A lot of the tournaments I win, the person would have to beat some pretty crappy odds to win heads up based on stack size alone.

I'm curious to hear more results.

well if you mean just keeping track of them yourselves, I didn't do that. Party doesn't have a place to check out your finishes does it? If it does and I've been missing out then I'm gonna feel like an idiot.

Re: Most Common Finish
 

1st 14.12
2nd 18.08
3rd 9.6
4th 15.25
5th 15.25


Not altogether sure how to interpret those.

Re: Most Common Finish
 

in a somehwat limited sample: 2nd is my most common and fourth is second most with one more fourth that third. this is about 30.

Re: Most Common Finish
 

Top placing 1st. Next, 6th.

I interpret the results below to mean: play tight early. Get shortstacked, impatient, or don't adapt to 6-handed to blow self up around 5-7th place, or if not, than have enough to make money. Play well shorthanded to get good placings.

Place %
1 15.7%
2 10.8%
3 9.2%
4 13.0%
5 10.8%
6 14.1%
7 13.5%
8 5.9%
9 3.2%
10 3.8%

Re: Most Common Finish
 

3rd, followed closely by second. Sadly, first is just about my least common finish (aside from ninth...never come in last yet).

by most common finish, do you mean the most common IN THE MONEY or the most common finish overrall?

if you mean ITM, for my current sample of SNGs of about 81, my most common finish is 3rd, followed closely by 2nd. my ITM% in that sample is 43%. i have 35 cashes with about 8-9 1st places.

At every level that I have lots of data, it is a smoothly decreasing function, but it takes longer than this (~500 data points) to get there.

Re: Most Common Finish
 

Whats the label for the x axis?

Re: Most Common Finish
 

I'm sorry to say that since I got poker tracker a few weeks ago I have been on my worst run of SNGs ever. My most common finish is 3rd and my second most common is 6th.

overall. as u will notice the original poster had 4th place as one of their top 2.

Re: Most Common Finish
 

I have only played in 57 SNGs to date. Here's the breakdown:

1st: 22.8%
2nd: 15.7%
3rd: 5.3%
4th: 14.0%
5th: 10.5%
6th: 15.7%
7th: 5.3%
8th: 5.3%
9th: 1.8%
10th: 7.0%

Re: Most Common Finish
 

Very small sample size (36), scattered between 5+.50 and 6+.50 on Stars.

1: 19.4%
2: 5.5%
3: 13.8%
4: 16.6%
5: 11.1%
6: 16.6%
7: 8.3%
8: 2.7%
9: 5.5%

So, first is most common, with fourth and sixth tied as next common. I've been doing much better at the Turbo (6+.50) SnGs though, so I hope the number of firsts goes over the next bit.

Re: Most Common Finish
 

3rd = 23.39%
4th = 16.13%
5th = 15.32%
2nd = 12.92%
6th = 8.80%
1st = 5.65%
7th = 5.65%

I need some serious help near the bubble. I usually run low on chips and limp into 3rd and then die there.

Re: Most Common Finish
 

Mine has just changed to most common 3rd second most common 1st, used to be the other way round.

Re: Most Common Finish
 

4th is my most common finish, followed closely by 1st

Re: Most Common Finish
 

1st: 20%
2nd: 40%

But I've only been keeping track for five tournaments. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Most Common Finish
 

1st and 4th by far...

Re: Most Common Finish
 

First (20%) then second (19%) over a small sample size (69, heh). I've also been running really good this week, so I think my numbers are inflated. My ROI over my past 30 tournaments is something insane like 110%. While I'd like to think that I'm the greatest $10 sit and go player ever I'm pretty sure the other shoe is going to drop.

Re: Most Common Finish
 

1st: 14.4%
3rd: 14.0%
2nd: 12.0%
5th: 11.7%
7th: 10.4%
4th: 10.0%
6th: 10.0%
8th: 8.0%
10th: 5.0%
9th: 4.3%

ITM: 40.4%, ROI: 26.0%

Re: Most Common Finish
 

"ROI: 26.0%"?

If I'm understanding this correctly you are making $52 per 215? May I ask how big your tournie sample is?

Re: Most Common Finish
 

That's overall for all levels. At the $200 level my ROI is about 25.3%, but that's for only 75 samples.

Re: Most Common Finish
 

My most common finish is 1st, and then 2nd. I have a thing with 6th place, which comes right after these two. Only then 3rd, and 4th.

These numbers are true for the last few hundreds of games:

Place / Percentage

1st: 17.6%
2nd: 15.2%
6th: 14.4%
3rd: 13.6%
4th: 12%
