SitnGo strategy and Results questions

Feb Party $10+$1 : 61 tourneys, 44.26% in money, 7 first, 9 secon, 11 third, 169/671 = 25.18% ROI

I feel like an idot for asking , but I cant figure it out.(sometimes the simplest things escape me)

What does RoI stand for? How is it calculated?

Hiya ss,

ROI == Return on Investment == (Net Proceeds)/(Net Wagered)

E.g.: if you wagered a total of 500, and won a total of 750, your net proceeds are 250, and your ROI is 50%.

Hi Grifter

As an "understudy" I won't even pretend to give you advice/strategy. I haven't even got to the stage of keeping accurate records, only the emails from stars when u money (but all that is about to change!)

I'll just make an observation on strategy that maybe is a given (but I like to state the obvious [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]). I come across two very different types of players/play in SnG's depending on the time I play and not just the level (up to $33 anyway).

As a player in UK if I play in the mornings (not very often) I can catch some really loose players tanked up (and still tanking up) in USA. Of course they get me back when I do the same back here!!

For Feb I came in at 54% in the money, 57% ROI with an avg finish of 3.99 I play a mixture of limits and games.

Hi Allen, I've also recently decided to take a shot at the $200 level and have compiled a list of my own. If you'd like we can compare my list with yours when it's ready.

I've noticed the same thing you have, there are some very good players there but not as much as I had expected.

Thank you Chris Brown.

I am fairly new to SnG , and I was curious how I was doing as well. After reading this I feel pretty good about it.

Party $10+$1 : 25 tourneys, 37.5% in money, 5 first, 3 secon, 1 third, 96/261 = 36.36% ROI

I know 25 isnt a good database to start feeling proud about anything but... When I play it feels good. I rarely ever go out earlier then 5th.

By my stats, it looks like this is as good as its going to get. so I can only expect to win about 3-4 bucks per tourney I play, and that is if my stats are not a fluke.

Thanks again for your help.

i think your numbers are off.

25 10+1 = 275 in buyins.
1st 5(50)=250
2nd 3(30)=90
3rd 1(2)=20

250+90+20-275=85 85/275= .309

after only 25 games it could easily be a fluke in either direction. ive had streaks of 14 straight losses and 14 straight wins. and thats only in my 90 tourney sample.

[stupidsucker]

You are right. a few numbers were off... Tourneys played was only 24. buy in was 264(24x11) so 96 was my return(not 85) 96/264 = 36% RoI

The 25 was an all out stupid mistake.. the 261 was a typo.

I need a secretary.

However, I wont be satisfied till I have 100 tourneys played for a better "general idea" and not untill 500-1000 played to judge myself. I am glad to see that a 30% return is good for solid play. I thought it should be higher then that, and I had been disapointed with my results. Now I am happy.
