"in the money" percentage for MTTs

[doubleas]

Only for multi-table tournaments...

I don't think ITM% matters much for MTT's. It's all about taking those top few spots. If you can't do that, you can't make money.

You should make the results to these polls viewable to all. I don't play multi tournys very often but want to see the results so I'm just filling in random numbers...

ROI is certainly more meaningful in the MTT world than ITM.

For whatever it's worth, my ITM is about 19% for all games. I'm about 17% for holdem, only 15% for stud/stud8/razz (my worst games and a small sample), about 20% for omaha/omaha8, and 27% for draw (the soft tourneys they use to have at Planet Poker).

I'm working on my game to try to get a big stack more often than I currently am. Too many of my cashes are of the barely in the money type. I'd be happy to lose a few points on ITM to make more final tables.

I am just going by my gut here, but I think I ITM less than 10% of the time. I play to win and always try to build big stacks early. I almost never just limp into the money with a short stack,
