Default Re: The Wotmog theory

This is really well thought out. Curious though, why is it called "the Wotmog theory"? I tried googling it but didnt find anything so I'm thinking its just something you thought of?

Yes, I would also like to say, that was maybe one of the best posts I have ever read. It's up there with Shania. Really simple, really smart. It will help me out a lot.

This post has been added to our "Anthology of Wisdom". Thanks to all who contributed. Mason, I know others would join me in thanking you for getting this going in the first place and hoping other thought provoking questions follow.

I just wanna chime in to repeat what has already been said (just because some people are prone to discount posts from "lesser-known" posters). Very nice post.

If somebody dare to read that thread (I think it's a very good one), you'll find how I was critiziced for basically trying to prove what Mason is saying in this post.

I was a "lesser-known" poster then.

Default Re: Conjecture and Question

It depends on the expected number of hands played to the end of the tournament, but it would be a similar situation to buying in for the standard price, but getting double chips, and arriving one hand late, except everyone at the table has seen you play one hand.

i'm no mathguy, and i've only read the posts on the first page, most of which takes some effort to grasp.
However, this is my proof that your conjecture is right.
Say 100 entrants in tourney, so total chip value is $1.000.000 of which yours are worth $40.000. So, remaining 990.000 chips are worth $960.000. Then 10.000 chips you just won were only worth $9.697. You expect to handle them with 4x efficency, so $38.788+$40.000=$78.788

You googled "wotmog"? LOL

No, I was just thinking of a name for my theory and I came up with the "Where'd the money go theory" (WTMG) and made it wotmog so it could be pronounced.

Thanks for the compliments, all. Glad I can contribute something back as I have gotten alot out of many of the posts I've read on the forum.
