not actually getting any bonus lol, just thinking about some things that are related to this concept.

in the MTT forum FAQ, they say 10% ITM is excellent and no one has ever done better than 20%. obviously, as you say, most people are using a strategy that aims to build a stack and get to the final table. but could you really get to, say, 60-70% ITM by adapting to a strategy that was designed specifically to accomplish that?

again, i'd appreciate any links on calculating these probabilities...

MTT is easily the worst possible option. This should be immediately obvious. If not, think of a MTT as a cash game with escalating blinds that you're not allowed to quit in the middle if you happen to meet your goal. It's very unlikely that you'll get to the money without having doubled your stack at some point during the tournament.
