| Hi everyone, I was wondering how often a player should be looking to make it into the money on online multi-table tourneys. I know it can vary, since they pay out so top heavy, but I was just looking for a general idea. I have played about ten of them and have made the money twice (13th out of 2000 in a lucky dollar and 35th out of 800 in a 10 dollar buy in) along with many near misses. I generally do pretty well, almost always making it farther than half the players, but I often catch cold cards and can't build my stack. Then I get blinded to death before the money. | ||

| I think the best measure of any poker venture is return on investment (ROI). Simply, for any series of events it is: (total payout - total investment) / total investment. Many also measure profit per time invested which can be expressed as an hourly rate. You can then compare these measures across different ventures or with others, though players tend to exaggerate these figures. Less than 10% of entrants make the money in multi-table events, so if you regularly make the money, you are doing well. --GR | ||
