+/- bubble%

[JayKon]

What is your and your normal SnG buyin, SNG Tracker +/- Bubble % and ~games


Mine is $11, +5% & 137.

22, -4% and 700. -4% is due to me having been overly agressive over like 300 tours before i restrained myself abit.

I am playing the SnGs for a month now and always wondered what +/- bubble% means. Can anyone clue me in?

What's a good figure for that and why?

[tigerite]

I already answered this...

Normally from 4-handed to ITM, being as there are 4 people left and 3 go on, you'd expect to be 75% ITM. For every % point you are over or below that, there is your +/-.

Thus, the calculation is:

Firsts + Seconds + Thirds / Firsts + Seconds + Thirds + Fourths

You then measure against 75%. But you need a LARGE sample size, because of the multiple variables including bad beats, short stacks, large stacks, good luck, disconnects, etc.

Thanks for all the answers.

LARGE sample size means > 5000?

That's correct.

I copied the stat (and most of the others) directly from SNG spreadsheet. I can't really comment on it's usefulness.

[schwza]

this seems like a pretty useless stat. the # of chips you have when you get to 4-handed is going to have a huge effect.

[Nicholasp27]

not useless, but not the whole puzzle either; just a piece

if u have a low +/-% but feel u are pretty aggressive in the bubble, then that may tell u to look and see if u are always getting to bubble shortstacked, in which case u may wanna work on getting more chips earlier

however, it could also be low because u are more aggressive going for first and if ur 1/2/3 ratio is 50/25/25, then u shouldn't worry as much about a low +/-

Well, it means the % you get ITM when on the bubble. So if there are 4 of you left, you should have a 75% chance of getting ITM. A high figure here isn't necessarily good, and could mean that you're not being aggressive enough on the bubble.
