Longest winning streak in CC freerolls on PS

#1 October 4th, 2020, 9:35 AM

Intresting which the longest winning streak a few days in a row had somebody...

Personally, i have a small streak, 3 days in a row. But i play according to my mood: sometimes it's tight, and sometimes i can put all-in with any cards at the beginning of the tournament )))

Maybe there are players here who play very carefully every freeroll and who have very long winning streaks....

Once i decided to play very carefully in every tournament. And exactly then my streak of 3 wins in a row happened. But i lasted no more than 2 weeks, then i lost discipline in the game and started playing sloppy )))

Here's the story of that streak of mine:

May 13 - 12th out of 284
May 14 - 15th out of 260
May 15 - 28th out of 340
May 17 - 30th out of 241
May 18 - 39th out of 255
May 20 - 36th out of 248
May 22 - 16th out of 348

If i hadn’t lost in the $ 300 weekly freeroll on May 16th, my longest winning streak would not have been 3 days in a row, but 6 days. Such a bummer turned out Longest winning streak in CC freerolls on PS

WOW - Those are pretty good runs. I have not cashed in a CC tournament yet.
I am working on getting Platinum on CC so that I can play more tournaments.
I am confident that I will cash before the end of the year.

Your title is misleading? Like reaching ITM 5 consecutive days is obviously easier than winning tournaments for 5 days in a row ...

#4 October 4th, 2020, 11:02 AM

Maybe there are poker sharks in the CC freerolls that reached the final table for 5-10 days in a row? ))

Winning a tournament several times in a row is almost impossible from the point of view of probability theory. The probability percentage will be obtained with several zeros after the decimal point for this event.

So in this topic we will consider events with a sane probability.

But even just getting into the prizes once is not so easy, so such winning streaks are also unlikely.

For example, for several summer months i played very loosely, purely for fun - and practically did not get into the prizes at all ))

#6 October 4th, 2020, 11:32 AM

A week or 2 ago, one CC member won 2 consecutive days: Friday $100 and Saturday $300 at Pokerstars. However, I am too lazy now to check who was that Longest winning streak in CC freerolls on PS

Me personally, the best streak I ever had in CC freerolls was 3 consecutive FT's at Stars again, but there were less crowd in these days ...

I almost did the same once: on June 26, i took 1st place in the Friday freeroll, and on June 27, when there were 5 participants at the FT in the weekly freeroll and my stack was more than the sum of all their stacks, i was disconnected on hour because of a thunderstorm (the electricity in the country went out and my tablet was discharged). The stack was enough to take second place. Apparently, it was not destiny to take first place for two days in a row )))

#8 October 4th, 2020, 12:36 PM

Here are some rough estimates of the probabilities.

Assuming that the skills of all the participants are about the same, and that there are always 250 people (for PS) in the freerolls, we can calculate the probabilities of winning streaks of different lengths.

The probability of getting into the prizes in one tournament is p1 = 37/250 = 0.148 (or 14.8%), then the chance of not getting into the prizes in one freeroll is 0.852 (85.2%). The likelihood that you will never win prizes for N freerolls:

p = (0.852) ^ N

This means that the probability that you will get into the prizes at least once by playing N freerolls can be roughly estimated as:

P = 1 - (0.852) ^ N

And the probability of a winning streak of n games in a row is:

P (n) = p ^ n = (0.148) ^ n

For example, the probability of a 3-game winning streak is:

P = (0.148) ^ 3 = 0.3%

But this is the probability of the next 3 games, and not in general. The total probability of hitting a winning streak n times in N days is calculated differently, it will be much higher, but still not very large.

#9 October 4th, 2020, 6:50 PM

For example, if you set yourself a goal for a week (in 6 CC freerolls on PS for platinum members) to get into the prizes 3 times in a row, then the exact probability of achieving this goal (for an average player) will be 0.913%, that is, less than 1%

And the probability of 3 hits in the prizes for these 6 games will be 4.01%

For a larger number of games than 6, i still find it difficult to accurately calculate the probabilities, maybe later i will do the calculations...

Cool!

If you set yourself the goal of repeating this winning chain in freerolls today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the chance is about 0.001% Longest winning streak in CC freerolls on PS

Perhaps, given that you are a strong player, the chance may be 0.002%. I think that no player in the world can achieve a greater chance than 0.003%, but maybe i am mistaken in this assumption ...

#13 October 4th, 2020, 8:22 PM

By the way, i was a little mistaken there above. Prize places, after all, not 37, but 36. For some reason it seemed to me that there are 37 of them. So, the corresponding probabilities will turn out to be a little less...

P.S. On the other hand, there are now on average less than 250 participants, so, in fact, the probabilities will be not less, but higher ))

#14 October 4th, 2020, 9:47 PM

Okay, here's the little challenge for you: you need to figure out what the chances of the average player who participate in 25 CC freerolls a month are to get at least 10 prizes in them. In case 250 people participate in each. You can try to count, or you can just make assumptions. What does anyone think, which this probability will be?

At the end of next week, i'll write an answer if no one calculates.

There was a time when I could not get into the prizes for 2 weeks, then I was at the final table 3 times in a row.I think a good result will be if you get to the final table at least once a week,although the money is not big, it's still nice.I think if you play correctly regardless of your mood, the results will be great Longest winning streak in CC freerolls on PS

Probably you were wrong by converting the probability to a percentage (by one order of magnitude). Or maybe i myself made a mistake in the calculation. I got this number: 0.156%

Hi
Agree if you play correctly you can win.
But with a lot of Ifs and Buts
I go all in with AA and get called with KK and there opens a K on the board.
Result - Played correctly and lost.
I have AA and bet 40% of the stack and get called, lose AA to a 2 pair.
Result - played correctly and lost.
So in poker nothing is certain.

To be precise, there is a huge difference between winning 3 games out of 6 and winning 300 games out of 600. Over the long run, achieving the same win rate can be orders of magnitude more difficult.

If during the entire tournament someone were dealt aces 10 times and each time it turned out in all-in situation on entire stack, then the probability of not being knocked out of the tournament would be approximately 0.85 ^ 10 = 19.7%

In practice, I agree with you.

In mathematics, 3/6 is the same as 300/600.

This is a sign of exponentiation.

------------------------------

And despite the fact that the numbers 3/6 and 300/600 do not differ, the probability of winning 300 prizes in 600 tournaments will be many times less likely to get into the prizes 3 times in 6 games. The numbers (p) and (1-p) are substituted into the final formula in various powers and with different factors (different numbers C (k, n) - combinations).

In general, in probability theory there is such a thing as maximizing the chance of winning in games with negative expectation. This could be applied to tournaments for those players who still do not know how to play or do not have time to finish the tournament.

In accordance with this concept, in order to have the maximum chance of winning something, if the chances of it are small in a normal game, the number of bets should be small, but they should be large. Because if a person plays poorly, then with small bets his stack will gradually decrease to zero )))

That is, in fact, a bad player can maximize his chances of hitting the prizes by placing all-in and, if he doubles, then go into sit-out mode ))

Once i registered in the CC freeroll, but could not play and took 60th place in sit-out mode. And with a double stack, it is probably and possible to sit up to the prizes...

But bad players are unaware of this and therefore put all-ins until they lose the entire stack Longest winning streak in CC freerolls on PS

P.S. By the way, today i was eliminated from the tournament in the first hands, but i had K2s on board 922, and my opponent had a hand of 92o )) And he already had 600 BB. Now i looked and its stack is almost zero ))))

P.S.2
And now his stack is already 100BB, but this is already 20,000 in chips )))

Originally Posted by Tracid

For example, some weak player can get into prizes in 8% of cases. On average, the result of getting into the prizes should be 36/250, which is 14.4%.

And if such a bad player puts all-in at the beginning of the tournament and doubles, provided that it is possible to get into the prizes with a double stack in sit-out mode, then his percentage of getting into the prizes may increase from 8% to, for example, 13%-19%

But it's not a fact that with a double stack you can get into the prizes in sit-out mode. Because close to the bubble, blinds begin to devour the stack with great speed...

P.S. And that player, by the way, left the tournament close to the bubble, never reaching the prizes. And if he was sitting in sit-out after the first break with 20,000 in chips, he could have taken a good place..

#36 October 13th, 2020, 3:46 PM

But all not so simple, because when you hit the prizes in sit-out mode, these will be guaranteed only minimum prizes. And when playing, at a person who can get into the prizes in 8% of cases, some prizes may be more than the minimum.
So, it is quite difficult to determine exactly in which case it will turn out to be more profitable in terms of the amount of prize money...

#37 October 13th, 2020, 4:43 PM

But we can definitely say that for a player who is unlikely to ever be able to get into the prizes due to the fact that he puts all-in in each hand until he loses the entire stack, it will be more profitable to just stop playing after winning the first all-in )))

Sometimes i would become the chip leader with a very large stack in a CC tournaments, and then either crashed or achieved small prizes due to further very sloppy play. Maybe in future cases like this, after becoming the chip leader and feeling that i am not in the mood for a tight game, i have the willpower to stop playing and see which place i can take in sit-out mode.

It is quite interesting to learn how to determine for each blind level what place in the tournament can be achieved in sit-out mode with a certain stack size...

Once i decided to play very carefully in every tournament. And exactly then my streak of 3 wins in a row happened. But i lasted no more than 2 weeks, then i lost discipline in the game and started playing sloppy )))

And the probability of 3 hits in the prizes for these 6 games will be 4.01%

For a larger number of games than 6, i still find it difficult to accurately calculate the probabilities, maybe later i will do the calculations...

I managed to find a fairly accurate formula, but it is very large and complex.

The general task is this:
Let an event happens with probability P. What is the probability that over a series of N repetitions, it will happen K (or more) times in a row?

Our event - getting into the prizes in one freeroll. Let the probability of this for the player be 0.15 (or 15%).

The number of games per week is equal to:
N1 = 6

For a year, someone can play, for example, 260 tournaments on PS:
N2 = 260

The number of hits in the prizes we have 3 times in a row:
K = 3

According to that complex formula, it turns out that the probability of hitting prizes 3 or more times in a row per week is equal to:

P1 (6 games) = 1.2%

And the probability of getting into the prizes 3 or more times in a row during a year is equal to:

P2 (260 games) = 52.7%

#43 October 14th, 2020, 6:52 AM

For clarity, i decided to calculate the corresponding probabilities for a player above the average level, who gets into the prizes on average in 20% of freerolls:

P1 (6 games) = 2.7%
P2 (260 games) = 81.5%

And for a player below the average level, who gets into prizes on average in 10% of freerolls:

P1 (6 games) = 0.37%
P2 (260 games) = 20.8%

#44 October 14th, 2020, 7:52 AM

I also calculated the probabilities of hitting 3 or more times in a row to the final table during the year for a good player and for an excellent player.

Again, we will assume that the player plays an average of 5 CC freerolls on PS per week, that is, 260 freerolls per year.

I defined a good player as a player who makes the final table on average 5% of freerolls.

And an excellent player will be considered a player who is able to make it to the final table on average in 7% of freerolls.

Without statistics, it is not known whether there are such excellent players in our freerolls. Perhaps there are even more advanced players here...

Then the formula gives the following probabilities:

P (good player) = 3%

P (excellent player) = 7.9%

Yes. Getting into the prizes, we, after all, win something. It would be too narrow to call a winning streak those tournaments in which players took only first places several times in a row. Then there would be no point in calculating something, because the probability of such streaks tends to zero.

Now i will explain in more detail the results obtained from the formulas.

The fact that you hit the streak 3-4 times in a row (won prizes) during a given week is an event that has already happened. For this, the probability is 100%, since this has already happened Longest winning streak in CC freerolls on PS

Moreover, it is not known how many weeks you have been playing these freerolls until those week with winning streak.

If you will set yourself a goal on the next week in 6 freerolls to get into the prizes 3 or more times in a row, then the probability that you will achieve this goal will be approximately from 0.4% to 2.7%.
For the average player, this probability is about 1.2%

It also means that out of 100 average players who set such a goal, it is most likely that only one person will be able to achieve it in that week. But this does not mean that, for example, 5 people out of 100 will not be able to achieve the goal. In rare weeks, this will happen.

I had days when I was at the final table several times in a week.

For a player who is able to make it to the final table on average in 5% of CC freerolls, the probability of hitting the final table 3 or more times out of 6 per week is approximately 0.22%. But this is not 3 times in a row, but just 3 times a week. And the probability of 3 times in a row will be about 4 times less.

--------------------------

For fun, i also calculated the probability of various winning streaks for the games in SnG HU.

If a player wins about 64% SnGs HU, then the probability of hitting a winning streak of 20 wins in a row for 3000 SnGs will be 13.3%

If he wins about 70% SnGs, then this probability will already be 51.2%, and the probability of a streak of 30 consecutive wins for 3000 SnGs in this case will be slightly less than 2%.

I managed to bring my streak, which i wrote about above, to 17 victories in a row. And the funny thing is that a full fish beat me, but damn lucky fish ))
And after playing with him, i beat 3 pretty strong players in a row. So the series could not be 17, but 21 times in a row. Such a bummer ))

I just noticed this and thought it might interest you...

In the current CC league there has been the 'bonus game' and two weeks of play (which normally will mean two games so far per player).

I have played the bonus game and two league games so far...

All normal so far, right?

Well...

In the bonus game, I finished 6th/119.

First league game- 6th.

Second league game- 6th.

So that's three league games in a row:- 6th, 6th & 6th... Longest winning streak in CC freerolls on PS

A little spooky, right? Longest winning streak in CC freerolls on PS

I’ve cashed 4 days in a row twice in a CC free roll on Pokerstars. Then several ‘3 in a row’ but also faced some lean periods.

Prior to that a few years ago PS ran some nutty free rolls for a few weeks (cannot recall why) and I cashed 4 in one day with an average field of 9,633 entrants….for a grand total of 40 cents haha!

That said best run I have had on CC was on one site which does not even offer daily free rolls...I managed to cash 12 in a row stretched out over 6 weeks.

I then enjoyed a bender on one other site which features CC free rolls, and counting the other two free rolls I played with the CC free rolls in one 22 day period I cashed 61 times.

Again, no claim this is day in and out stuff, but the runs are much appreciated when they occur.
