Default Heads-Up Tournament Question

you buy in to a $20+2 heads-up tournament, with 64 entrants, here are the payouts:

1st: $672
2nd: $384
3rd-4th: $192
5th-8th: $120

what percentage of your heads-up matches must you win on average for these tournaments to be +EV?

Those payouts add up to $1920 = 64x $30. I'll assume you meant $30+3 tourney.

To cover the rake, you have 0 EV if you win more than 51.2% of your matches.
