Default Re: MATH: 45 extra chips to start 800-chip tourney adds >5% to ROI

so you need to win 54.34% of the time if u do the double-up or bust strategy first hand to average out to .1 (.184/.1) that you have if you just fold

UNLESS

you have more than a 26.5% skill advantage when you are big stack...

if you are 50/50 first hand doubling up:

12.65/9.20=1.375

so if your skill advantage grows to over 37.5% roi and you can double up 50% of the time first hand, then it's worth it to you, as a 15% roi player normally, to go for it

however, u aren't gonna be 50% doubling up because you will face a better-than-average hand when called, so your random hand will be a dog
