Are small value MTT's -EV vs SnG's? (ie: $5000 guarenteed MTT's)

if you have 20% roi at the 55's, then your profit in 5 hrs of SnGs is $50.

Well, if you play 4-table sets (and assume one set per hour with breaks, etc.) and have 20% ROI at the 55's, you're looking at an hourly total of 55 bucks, plus another 5 with rakeback. That's five hours, 300 dollars. Do that eight hours a day, five days a week, 52 weeks a year...and you're looking at just under 125k/year.

By comparison, playing "small value" MTT's seems like it would be comparatively -EV in the short run.

On the other hand, if you're using the small value MTT's to improve your skills and move up to being a successful higher buy-in MTT player (at which you may very well earn 500k/year)...then it may be long-run +EV.

Actually....4x$55 = $220 x.20 = $44 + $5rakeback = $49/hour.

Playing 8 hours a day 5 days a week for 52 weeks would get u $101,920.

Wow...i just realized how much money there is to be made in poker for a winning player.
