Default What % of cashes is a good % in MTT\'s?

Can anyone fill me in on this. I play on pokerstars and usually play in the $10 daily tourney, $20 tourney, $11+R, $30, $50, occasional $150 tourney and about once a month I'll play in the $215 sunday tourney. What is a good ITM percentage?

Not sure there is a set number for this like in SnGs. If all you were going for is ITM it would probably be easy to get this number way up there by giving up chances at the real money. With that said my best guess for a decent number would be 1 in 3 ITM.

I don't know the specifics of how many players get paid and how much etc, but I would say that it would be much less than 1 in 3 ITM finishes. One final table makes up for the many times you don't finish in the money so my guess would be considerably less than 1 in 3. But a lot depends on how well you do once you make it ITM. If you frequently bust out shortly after making the money your percentage would have to be a bit higher.

Usually its about the top 10% cash so i think 1/3 is impossible. If theres 1200 people in a tourney on stars the top 180 cash.

ITM doesn't matter - ROI does.

Here is a real life example of why ITM% matters so little.

I recently updated my YTD stats from UB.

101 MTTs
11 cashes
6 FTs

My biggest cash was 2nd place in a 550 person 30+3. That tournament alone, turns a break even year into a 100+% ROI year. I could have cashed in 100% of my tournaments and had a lower ROI than if I won that tournament alone.

You should be getting 10% cashes.
