How do you measure your success in poker tournaments
There are poker players that think they are quite successful when it comes to their poker tournament performance but when in fact they suck. Well these players do not really know how to measure their success in poker tourneys so all along they think they are really good. When you don’t know if you are doing good or bad at something, you also miss the opportunity of improving what yourself. Let us try to see how you can get the accurate figure that reflects if you are a good tournament player.
Numbers game
If you want to measure your success in poker tournaments then you must have to play in a lot of poker tournaments. You need a bigger picture so your analysis will be reflective of what you are doing. So what is a good number? If you are talking about sit ‘n go’s then you might need around 1,000 tournaments. For the multi-table kind of tournament, 500 is a good size.
Knowing your ROI
When you know you already have enough tournaments then you can measure your ROI or return of investment. You can compute for the ROI by dividing your tournament profits by the amount of money you spend for buy-ins.
For example, you have gained $2,000 in profits with buy-ins totaling around $11,000. Then you should do 2000/11000 to get .18. This means that you have an 18% ROI which is pretty good. This means that you bring home $1.18 for every dollar you spend for a tournament.
