Patience Factor for WSOP Events

[VK_Rick]

I do not purport to be an expert on Snyder's formula or an advocate for it, but it does seem that his "Patience Factor" tells you at least something, in a single number, about how fast the structure is. With this in mind -- and using the excel spreadsheet on Snyder's website along with the structure sheets on the WSOP site -- it appears that the various buy-in NLH events will have the following Patience Factors:

Buy-in Patience Factor

$1,500 14.93 (events 3*, 15, 27, 35, 38, 49)

$2,000 19.09 (events 10, 25, 47)

$2,500 23.48 (event 19)

$3,000 27.09 (event 28*)

$5,000 39.41 (event 22)

$10,000 89.01 (main event*)

If this has already been posted elsewhere, please feel free to ignore; I was doing the calculations for my own use and though some might find them helpful.
