Default Re: FTOP vs SnG: example.

I did some calculations a while ago. If you're a pretty big winner at whatever limit (>17% ROI), you shouldn't do this. Less than that, it's either around breakeven even or +EV for you to take this. Also this is assuming 55/45, because its not going to be 50/50.

Actually, I like his thinking and reasoning here, that since you can always start a new SNG and that doubling up will almost always put you in the money, that you're spending time in a tournament with a higher probability of cashing.

Why would you use ROI as a measurement of this play's EV? I may be a SNG newbie, but certainly we play to maximize our hourly rates, not our ROI. Certainly multitabling lowers ROI but people do it because it can increase their hourly winrate.
