For everyone who not played their game yet...
I tried to calculate the optimal buy-ins that you have to play to have a chance to win the first table and get into money immediately. I used 11 pictures that you showed and only in 3 games appeared some combinations which earned bonus points, so this is not a huge number in my calculation to move on with right now.
The tables are surely balanced, as each times of the 11 there were 3 or 4 maximum stack sized people, so we just have to figure it now after this, which is the optimal number.
The biggest amount of buy-ins were 54, the smallest 45, so not a huge difference in this either, it means there's a perfect buy-in!
- If you made 6 buy-ins and you won your first hand, you'll get app. x2.5 more then the second place at your table.
- If you made 5 buy-ins and you won your first hand, you 'll get app. x2 more then the second place at your table.
-If you made 4 buy-ins and you won your first hand, you 'll get app. few more buy-ins then the second place at your table.
-If you made 3 buy-ins and you won your first hand, you 'll get app. few less buy-ins then the second place at your table.
Considering this results, 6-5 buy-ins are safe to see some parties after a winning one, 4-3 buy-ins will result another coin flip. So it's up to you which you gonna choose, but the optimal buy-ins are between 6-4 buyins, 3 is a little risky, up to these numbers and under these numbers are not worth to play. (up to for sure can be made you an instant winner, but in long-term maybe not worthy to play, just if you are lucky enough till reaching the ITMs, and great in MTTs)
