would you rather get 3rd or 10th

Well 3rd will help your ROI more than 10th and it will also help hourly rate more than 10th.

no i meant 3rd or 10th.

and i know it would "hurt the brain", but ROI and hourly rate speaking, i dont think its an obvious answer

its not even close. 3rd beats 10th by a mile you no matter how you slice it.

3rd, and it's not even close. Do you see why?

i believe so but i didnt feel like takign the time to do any math right now

a tournament finish of 3rd gives you almost a full buyin in profit. if that's not worth your time even hourly rate wise, you need to rethink playing sngs. if you think that this is a bit silly, go look at a finish distribution of a winning player, and check out what their ROI would be if you threw out all their 3rd places.

Oh no, I see what you are asking. However, my answer still stands.

yes i know the ROI would go down...obviously... but would the rate go up at all

[cleinen]

i just looked at my sheet and in the last 328 games i have gotten 3rd 40 times. That is 800 bucks. So your asking do i want the 800 or nothing? I think your the one not doing the math.

Obviously 10th ... can get another tourney started and get a lot more rakeback that way.

Think about all that rakeback if you could just get back-to-back-to-back 10ths all night.
