Default Re: $33 rebuy, $10K first prize, 17 players remaining

You can treat it how you like, but this is nothing like a Sit N go.

It's a 17 player tournament that pays 10 spots (relative to where everyone is at) The payout is increasingly top heavy.
1st 34.2%
2nd 20.5%
3rd 12.3%
4th 9.6%
5th 7.5%
6th 5.5%
7th 4.1%
8th 2.7%
9th 2.1%
10th 1.4%
(taken from party website and adjusted as % of total distributed to top 10 places in a field of 400+)


The average stack is 10XBB. 160K is 27XBB, (20XBB at 4k/8k)

Just eyeballing it an 80K stack is worth about 8th-9th place (on avg). And 160K stack is worth 5th-6th.

There are unlikely to be any very soft players at this point, the most important thing is chips. You are substantially overvaluing your ability to outplay the other players if you are willing to pass on your best hands with 13XBB left.

Then again maybe you can fold and pick up aces next hand.
