I'm assuming you mean plus as In plus $$$, correct? If that's the question, than that question Is really an Impossible question to answer.

You take a look at It from two different examples.

1) A new player, signs up to "Poker-Stars", and drops $500 Into his "Poker-Stars" account, now that player, doesn't know about BRM, or anything, and decided to play In the "Sunday Million", and bought Into It directly, and low and behold, he ends up "Winning" the entire thing. Now that player Is up $170,000:), or In this case he's +$169,500. Does this make this player a good player? Does this mean that this player Is better than the next guy, that's been playing for 7 years?

Now lets look at the next example.

2) A player that's been playing for 10 years. In that span of time, this player has lost, say 10k, at a rate of $1000 per year. This player, seems like he's a losing player. Yet you didn't ask as to the why, this player Is a losing player, or how he/she Is a losing player, or what game this player Is a "Losing player In".

Now as their are many different games online. Their are many different levels. So the best means to "Measure" yourself as to If "You're a winning player or not", Isn't by the "number of games", but more so by the "Decisions" you make during the games, and "over a large number of games/sample of hands".

So look at It like this, If you pick up AA on the bubble of a $1.10 re-buy and you have say 75bbs, at 1k/2k blind levels, and a player opens and another flats, and you 3 bet and the first player that opened has say 100 bbs and he 4bets and you 5 bet A.I and he calls, and you lose. Does that mean you suck? Does that mean you did the wrong thing? Does that mean the system Is "Flawed/Rigged/Against you":rolleyes:? Nope, It just means that you were unlucky that one time, In that situation, and ultimately ended up losing that game on the bubble because of the "Choice" you made to 5bet A.I. Like-wise though, If you're continually losing and you don't know the "Why" or the "How to end this losing spell", It means that there's an Issue with your game and you need to work on It.


Yet again, these are all examples of basing on MTT's and I don't know what game you play, or are even talking about.

Cash/Mtt's/Stt's/HU/Hypers/PLO/Limit/ small stakes/mid stakes/ mid-low/low-high stakes, exactly what? That's the question you need to figure out.

I know that mostly mtt regs play from 6 to 10 tables. More important is not the quantity, but quality. Try to play fewer tables, my suggestion would be 4-6 tables. I know you want to win big money, but don't hurry, quality is more important and you'll see how better your results become. GL

Over the last month I have lost quite a lot of money . I was afraid to play . And I'm interested in who plays and how ? That's why I ask how many tournaments to play to get a plus ?: Ангел:

I think it not depend by number of tournaments,it depend by you,and your wish for win.You can play a lot of game and still you can learn nothing,but if you focus and follow the game you can learn a lot in few games!

If you're new to the game multi tables is crazy! Too many factors to consider on a given hand. Position, your stack size and theirs, player types, etc., etc.

In my mind quality of play is everything. You can play as well as anyone then make just one mistake and you're out. I can feel good (kind of) knocked out on a bad beat, but I hate simple mistakes on my part costing me.

I have a feeling that I counted . It's a good card no one is playing . Trying to bluff and get caught . Tried to change the style of play is even worse . And change the limit can not , stupid no money .:(

Here talk of maximizing your earnings for time invested that we could do it in cash mode but in tournaments you could not have to take out your profits seeing it this way how much is my entry percentage in ITM now comes the other part that is how many times I get to the table Final with those two you could know how profitable your participation has been during x tournaments, but as the other user said that a player strikes a great tournament and another one that plays many more but has less winnings may be much better than the other player

Is not necessary to invest money in poker to be in the black. Unless you are impatient. I for example do not play tournaments with a buy-in but have a good plus. And the cash I do not play. My element freerolls with big prizes. The concept of tournaments for the plus does not make sense. This issue is closer to a math.

You can play 5-10 tournament weekly or even monthly and get better than someone who play 50-100, its not about quantity but quality of your game! Ofcourse the more you play the better skills you have, if u can learn and analyze your game, so the practice is very important.

If you are playing freerolls and just freerolls, and you are very good in poker, you are always in plus. I couldnt say for paying tournaments. You must always win something to be in plus. Just to get prize you paid for the entrance.

In my opinion, to play plus you need to play up to 10 tables. For me personally, 5-6 tables is already high. If more, I lose focus, can't make decisions quickly and as a result lose.

More tounaments you play, better chance to earn something. In the bigineer stage, you should play more freerolls.

I know what you mean... Well... That really depends from the field (how many players are in the tournament) you play. I believe that between 70-100 tournaments you should have made at least 10 ITMs in order to say that you can make some money in the long run.

Attention: ITM doesn't mean you make profit... Neither clarifies how much money you make. But it clarifies if you got the poker mentality

Just to mention that pros make about 15% ITM (+-2%)
