Hooloovoo Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 What is generally considered as value in terms of tournament prizes and number of entrants versus buy-in? For example, PokerKings have a €3000 gtd 21.30GMT, €40+4 buy-in. 75 entrants would be required to "fill" the €3000. Currently 30 entrants with 10 minutes left to register. Is this value? At how many entrants does the value "disappear" in your opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Re: Definition of tournament value I view "Value" as an "overlay" divided by number of players.... So €3k / €44 = 68 - I would say the value disapears with the overlay at 68 entrants (dont forget to count the rake). If there were 50 entrants, then I would count the value as: (€3k - (50 x €44)) / 50 = €16 per player What that means is that for €40+€4 you are really buying yourself a €60+€0 tournament - you're playing for higher stakes than you're paying....

Great reply, thanks alot....! :) Decided not to play it, as the number of entrants increased drastically the last minutes, to land at 70+ The same tourney last night attracted 76 players.

Hooloovoo Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Re: Definition of tournament value The question is ofcourse then, how much overlay would you consider to be "good" value? A 20% overlay? 50% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Re: Definition of tournament value It depends :tongue2 If I'm planning on playing a random tournament anyway, then any overlay I can get instead is good (better than the alternative random tournament) :) For freerolls I used to consider 50c to $1 playable, and greater than $1 as good - now though I'm less motivated by freerolls than I used to be :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
