Which is more +EV?
 

Playing 30 $20+2 180 person SNGs or: Playing 11 $55+5 9 person SNGs? What do you think is better for your money?

Re: Which is more +EV?
 

It depends on if you are better at SnGs, or at multis.

You'll make more money in the MTTs, more $/hour in the sngs

Re: Which is more +EV?
 

If you are a player whose ROI is the same for both 1 table and 20 table sng's, the clearly 33 $22 > 11 $55.

This being said, good MTT players have considerably higher ROI's than good SNG players. so i dont know why i even made the first point.

But although your EV(MTT) > EV(sng), the variance can bet anywhere from 10 to 50 times as much in the 20 table tourneys as opposed to the 1 table tourney, depending on your style of play and how much gamble you have. So you may have to change the question to 550 $22 20 table tourneys and 220 $55 sng's. And still, you might not even have a 90% chance of making more in the 20 table tourneys.

If you changed the question to, "Two identical players, 1 playing 1 $22 20 table tourney at all times, the other playing 1 $55 sng at all time, who makes more $/hr?", it might be a little more interesting.

Say the player spends about 1.5hr for every 20 table tourney, and 40 min. or every sng. Also, say the player has 80% Roi on the MTT, and 25% ROI in the sng. Then the math is pretty trivial.

(60/40)*55*.25 = $55(3/8)/hr.

(60/90)*22*.8 = $22(8/15)/hr.

15/16 > 8/15, so the sngs are better.
