Default Re: questioning SnG FAQ ROI Numbers

A couple of thoughts.

First, turbo SNGs are different than regular SNGs. My feeling is that Turbos decreases some skill advantage you may have over other players. The slower the blinds increase, the greater advantage your skill becomes. With Turbos, your forced to loosen up and gamble. I feel your ROI would have to be less because speed tournaments force loose and gamble type situations.

Second, how many seats are in the Turbos that you do. Is it 10 seats with $525 for first, $315 for second and $210 for third. If so, I calculate your ROI as 21.5%. So your numbers could be better than you think.

Third, sometimes those ROI numbers include a rackback program. I read the thread that you quoted and I remember it talking about the rakeback being considered as part of those ROI numbers.

Hope these thoughts help.
