Will Ma and I were discussing this recently.

People who run bad in MTTs quit MTTs, people who run good stick with them. As this continues, it gets to the point that almost everyone who plays MTTs is at like the top of the bell curve of results relative to their skill level, so people tend to think that variance is lower since most regular tournament players are just the one who run the best.

I may have worded it poorly, but basically, everyone who hasn't quit these stupid things yet runs good.

i think this is definitely true for events like the 1k and the 200reb, but to be breakeven/losing all this time is really meh

one can have a tournament schedule where the max buyin is the 55r and the 162 (and the 215s on sundays) and still destroy.

i think if mkind just eliminated the 100r+, $320+ tournaments over the course of the week, his confidence would go up infinite.

I would have thought anyone in the top 100 P5 rankings would actually be a winning player.

Yea thats basically what i do in terms of daily tournaments then play some of the larger weekly ones and am backed for the two 1k's.

Really helps keep the variance down and i think to beat things like daily 100r, sunday 200r and a few of the other toughest you need to be really highly rolled and extremely good at poker.

No point playing things for ego.
