Default Re: How long till I win??

If you are playing tournes with 150+ players, it could take a really long time to get a first. I would say that i am a very good player, supporting myself thru my play, and i only got my first 1st about a month ago (1 year of play). Lots and lots of final tables and so forth, but 1st is tricky. I would estimate that i played about 300-400 MTTs before winning one. I've also read ALL the good poker books and am a chess master [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

if you really want a win, i would suggest playing the 99player max games (available i think from $11-33 on partypoker). Not sure on the math (and it varies obviously based on your ROI), but i would think you could hope to win one within 30-40 tries, if you are good enuf to do so.

Of course variance says that you could probably play a few hundred and never win one.
