This is a concept I have been playing witht for a little while. I like it, some people don't, maybe I'm just crazy. I figured If I want to get flamed for a bad idea, 2+2 is the place to go.

Take the inverse of the product of your ROI% and ITM%. (ROI x ITM)^-1. Whats that give you?

I'm thinking its the minimum numbers of buyins you should have before playing in an event, as long as both numbers are positive. At the very least it gives an index of your performance. The closer to 1, the better you are. Of course this requires a decent sample size to be accurate.

Thoughts? Not too harsh now please..

I don't think it's going to be very helpful unless you multiply the result with the squareroot of your age times the number of years you have played divided by your zip-code. Just my 2 cents.

... or put differently: your ROI and your ITM has little or nothing to do with your variance, determining your ROR (Risk of Ruin).

Best,
