Default Re: The Poker Tournament Formula by Arnold Snyder...

Sure, it might be good regardless of the speed, but if the speed is high, it seems to be essential. Seeing as many flops as possible as cheaply as possible in order to flop a monster is like running the river twice in cash games -> it should reduce variance.

I think it will actually increase variance, but potentially increase ROI.

The chance to make a flush if you start with 2 suited cards is about 6%. If you play 100 of these hands during a tournament, you should make 6 flushes. If you only play that hand once....you might hit a jackpot, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Basically the idea is that if you increase the number of samples towards infinity you will eventually get a "normal distribution".

Mason's essay says that this style will cause you to bust out early more often.

If you start the tournament with M 65 you will certainly lose some chips playing that style, which reduces your overall chances, but the point of a "big bankroll" is that you won't go broke immediately.
