Seriously, thread should have ended here. Anyone who disagrees with me, let's prop bet.

Usually people who ask the question are idiots, so I understand the disdain for the topic, but it is somewhat interesting in an intellectual way. If I got to pick the "best" 100 people from the ranks of poker pros and online stars, what would you seriously expect their ROI to be collectively? I picked 20 last year for a friendly wager and their ROI was pretty awesome, thanks to Cunningham.

You can work out an average ROI for one player in many tourneys, or many players in one tourney, but not for one player in one tourney. (Didn't Lincoln say that once??) Thayer is essentially right since 90% of the field will have a -100% ROI no matter how good they are. By definition, an average player will average a 0% ROI (minus rake). A very good tourney player will average 50-100% ROI, and world class will be 100%+
