NL-Tournaments at Party

[daiwiza]

Hi!

Have some questions concerning the Sit and go's 10+1$ at party.

When you play in this one table tournaments you obviously at least have to beat the rake to break even, and because you pay 1$ Rake every time you have to play 10% better to break even. But only for every percent, that you beat the game 10+ you will gain money in the long run.

My question is:

(1) Approx. for what percentage should a good player beat such NL-tourneys, and (2) for what percentage should he finish among the last three?

I already thank you for your answers.

I think good sit'n'go players have a Return On Investment of 20-30% or so. (Possibly higher at $10+1 tables, it's pretty damn crappy play there.) It's usually calculated as ROI on the total buy-in, so beating the rake is already done.

So on average when they pay $11 they expect to make $2.20-$3.30 or so.

Edit: You'll probably get very good answers in the One-table tournament forum.
