Re: The importance of position ITM
[ QUOTE ]
There's no publicly-available NL EV data I know about and you haven't pointed to any.

It's quite irrelevant to the question of whether what you're trying to derive from the limit ring game data makes sense for NL SnG games.
I don't have much reason to believe it does, as tactics and strategy in limit ring and NL SnG are vastly different.

For example, the PokerRoom stats suggest that position becomes more powerful as table size decreases, and is greatest in three-way play. Do you agree or disagree that the same is true in NL?

I don't know what "more powerful" means, or even how you are defining position, since in a NL tournament almost all action 3-way is preflop, so in many ways SB is "better position" than button 3-way in a SnG. Obviously this is completely different from a ring game where button acts last for 3 of 4 bettings rounds. There's no such advantage in a NL SnG. This is one of many reasons why I think the limit ring data is of dubious value for drawing conclusions for NL SnG.
Tread carefully, if at all.
