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

[ QUOTE ]
Now, someone tell me where the flaw is in the following double-up first hand strategy....


1600 stack vs 8 800 stacks...

.1844 is your new ev


18.44*1.265=23.3266
23.3266/11=2.1206 or 212% roi!!

Maybe I'm missing something, but if you win every tournament so only have a 354.5% ROI (39/11), so it does not make sense to me that you would expect an ROI of 212% if you have only 20% of the chips. I think it is due to the fact the each additional chip gained is worth less than the previous one.
