Bav: The vig % on AVP is calculated from the buy in only, excluding AO and RB, IIRC.

Except when it isn't.

Like the Orleans Friday night tourney is $60 plus one $40 rebuy plus $5 dealer toke with $10 of the $60 to the house. This is on AVP as $65 with $15 admin. So the optional dealer toke is included, but not the optional rebuy.

But Venetian's 8pm buyin is $125 with an option $50 rebuy and an optional $5 dealer toke where $15 of the $125 goes to the house. That's on AVP as a $125 buyin with $20 overhead. I dug out a printed Venetian tourney structure page to verify this, so my stated $25 vig for V is wrong, it's $20...a minor oops on AVP's tourney page; I think to be consistent it should claim V's buyin is $130 with $20 admin fee to include the dealer toke as it does on Orleans, Caesars and Sahara.

So that's why I included the (*) above... I was noticing some oddities on AVP but couldn't quite put a finger on what was wrong. Looks like the dealer toke is intended to be included in the computations while the rebuys are not and Venetian is the only one I see offhand that is off.
