Question
Hi!
(I posted this under another thread before, Iwasn't aware of this one here) 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.

Re: Question
I don't mean to quibble or split hairs but I think (Lori please correct me if I am wrong) those numbers are more like what an excellent player would achieve, not a "good" player.
I don't know if you meant to distinguish in the original post but as for a guess for a good but not excellent player (note these categories are quite subjective), Win: 13-15% Money: perhaps 40-43% The odd thing is those two number will define if you are average, good or excellent so in a way it is silly to write this. Edit to say I wrote this not to point out I thought Lori might be wrong but so that you are not concerned/disheartened if you are not hitting those levels. Also please note I don't currently play the $11's so mine was just a guess. |

I am so not a math person
so what I am wondering: say you are in the top 3 50% of the time at the 10+1 level, am I correct that you actually do not beat the rake if all your finishes are 3rds? And, would this also be true at 20+2 level?

Most 1-table SnG's pay 20% to 3rd place, 30% to 2nd place, and 50% to first place, so this is the same at 20+2, and pretty much every other level. Don't worry, if you money 50% of the time, as long as your SH play isn't total crap, you'll be fine. |

Re: I am so not a math person
Exactly.
10 tournaments, five thirds 5 tourneys without cashing you lost 55 5 thirds is 9X5=45 Net loss is $10 which is exactly the vig you paid. Looked at another way, if you played a home tourney with friends with a payout of 50/30/20 means if get third you double your money or in other words get 1:1 payout for third. Since here you pay a vig you lose a bit. 20+2 is the same you just double each caculation 5x22=110 lost when out of the money 18X5=90 20 loss equals the vig. |
