Making the Money in MTT's

#1 1st July 2008, 1:39 PM

How often do you make the money in MTT's. I play in usually one MTT a week. Often it is the 15K guarentee ($48 Buy in) that averages 300 to 400 players. Ive had a few good finishes best being 4th place. But my question is how often do good players make the money in a MTT? I know this is just an estimate but give me your opinion. Thanks

IMO, an average player should at least make it ITM about 25% of the time

I consider myself a decent player, but in MTT's I do horrible. Maybe its because of the buy ins(2$) that I do bad. It seems like at that price someone is going all in every hand just to double up early on.

25% sounds about right but it also depends alot on your playing style,
lets say a very LAG player might ITM 15% but out thouse 15% he final tables 10% and makes more money ovarall then a TAG that ITM 25% but only final tables 5%
