Highest possible ITM%?

Reef · #1 04-03-2005, 06:53 PM

Say we have a ridiculously good professional player who has a 40% ITM for 200+15's. We send him down to play 10+1 SNG's. After a minimum of 300 of these, playing only 1 or 2 tables at a time, what is the highest realistic ITM% possible?

Lorinda would have the best idea. I assume you're talking Party...that is a crucial bit of info, btw.

I'd guess 55%...but will defer to Lorinda's judgement no matter what on this question.

If you search well....you can find what Irie felt was the upper limit 1 tabling @ the $11s I believe...

Oh, and this question is very irrelevent, btw...but it's cool, [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

since its only over 300, and with good variance and all, i would say its around 53%. 3uo

posts like this bug so much. why do you care about ITM. ROI is the only thing that matters.

this is like asking "what's the highest possible win % at showdown?" who cares, why use some metric that is indirectly related to winrate when we actually have the winrate metric.

300 is such a small sample that just about anyone could achieve a 60% ITM over a course of 300. Its not likely, but possible.

When it comes to what you want in a game you WANT the ROI.. this is your paycheck.

ITM is a much better way to guage HOW your game is doing. You can be a large % more sure about your ITM than your roi. ROI is extremely variant.

You people must smoke some very serious Ganja....What makes you think that a winning $215'r would necessarily be even a winner at $11's; much less a particularly big winner...Skill could not overcome variance...The biggest part of winning at $215's is stealing blinds and moving people off of better hands...How do you do either one at $11's?...You got an atom bomb?

I ignored the '300' part of the OP....I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he meant long term ITM @ the $11s for an amazing $215er.

But again, not asking this question is much wiser than actually asking it, [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

There you go Skipper, you have vindicated all the $11 newbies who only lose because their bets get no respect, so they move up to the $55's. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Have fun trying to tell Lil' Skippy that the $215s are easier than the $11s, [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].
