2005 PokerStars MTTs: An Overview
Just in case anyone is curious, I've put together some stats on PokerStars tournaments in 2005. This won't included the last week or so of play, as it is cut off at 12/23 (the last time I updated my stats). Rebuys and freezeouts are treated the same, although the prizepool figures are obviously affected.
Total MTTs: 18313 Total Prizepool: $192,273,554 Total Entrants (not unique players): 8,976,951 Total Rake: $12,278,750 Average Buyin (Sum buyins/MTTs): $28.37 Average Prizepool (Sum PP/MTTs): $10,498.72 Average Players (Sum Players/MTTs): 490.2 Average Rake/tourney (Rake/MTTs): $670.46 Average Rake/player/tourney: $1.37 Breakdown by buyin: 2500: 1 1000: 3 500: 15 300: 33 200: 244 150: 151 100: 1574 50: 1977 40: 51 30: 998 20: 4215 10: 3941 5: 1321 3: 1101 2: 734 1: 1954 By month: Jan: 1147 Feb: 1138 Mar: 1323 Apr: 1282 May: 1517 Jun: 1553 Jul: 1602 Aug: 1633 Sep: 1591 Oct: 1815 Nov: 2108 Dec (cut short): 1604 That's it for now, I'll probably do some more later. If you want to know anything else about Stars MTTs, post in this thread and I'll do my best to track it down. |

Re: 2005 PokerStars MTTs: An Overview
That was the number that I thought was surprising out of all of it. I would figure it would be much higher.
Well, that and the avg. rake/player/tournament. I mean, I know I have paid several hundered in tournament rake all by my self and dont play that much really. I guess this just shows the relative number of micro tournaments to the $2+ fee tournaments(20+2+). This is all assuming that the fee is what is considered the rake here. |

I think it would be interesting to see how much stars has pulled in from their micors since adding a 10c,20c, and 30c rake to them.
Very interesting btw |

Re: 2005 PokerStars MTTs: An Overview
Is there a way of seeing the avg. rake/player/tourn before the 180 20+2's started going off, as opposed to after?
I also assume that these are shown in your data mining, esp. since recently once they are a go they come up in the main tournament lobby. |

[/ QUOTE ] $1: 41,325 $2: 42,957 $3: 142,571 TOTAL: $226,853 The rake was added in the middle of October, so Stars should expect at least $1 million in rake from these tournies in 2006 with even a little bit of growth. |

[/ QUOTE ] Right, I was implying that a larger number of entrants and available tournaments with a low buy in bring this number down. Id think that even with one weekly $15 tournament rake tournament with usually over 3k entrants it would bring this up to at least $2. I guess the fact that even the 45k is only $1 per entrant and everything below brings this down also. Its just really surprising to me that they run so many tournaments, have so many entrants and only pulled 12 mill in tournament fees. Hell, operating costs must take a good bit of that up, and then any overlays and added on prize pools also hit this up. So I guess what I am slowly getting at is that in relation to the rake gathered in cash games, why would they even worry about us tournament players? Clearly they get a much lower rake from us. |

[/ QUOTE ] $12 million is quite a bit compared to operating costs (I'd guess, anyway). Also, don't forget satellites, STTs, etc. I'd guess that total tournament fees are much much higher than what we're seeing from just MTTs. Cash games, however, are certainly a huge cash stream for any online poker site. |
