Ran extremely bad in the mid-high stakes mtt's the past few weeks, so i dropped down to the micro limits for fun and it seems i did better then expected.

On how many games? it doesnt count if its like 50.. lets talk if u have played 6000 tourneys with 26% ITM..Then u are good..

How many times someone cashes as a terrible measure of how good a tourney player they are. Most online pros don't have awe-inspiring ITM statistics as the accepted way to make money in mtts is to play aggressively and accumulate as many chips as possible going for the win - not for an itm. When pros do cash a staggering amount of the time will be FT and beyond. Looking at ROI is more sensible.

203 games is nothing..It doesnt show at all..U need 2-3k games..Then we can determine wheter u are good or not.

lol, but i never said i was good, all i said was that i had an ITM of 26%. And i agree with the previous poster on looking at the ROI as to the ITM %'s of a player as this can give a better indication of how profitable a tournament player is, which will also determine how good or bad they are.

Oh ya I wanted to mention that I believe your ROI (Return On Investment) is probably much more important than ITM%.

Good point. My ITM is currently 21%, but my ROI is -7%. So, either I'm failing to cash in the occasional higher priced games I play, or I'm not getting deep enough when I do cash. Either way, it's something I need to work on.
