Question about ITM percentage

No good player has an ITM that high.

I think Thay3r ment it,more so for higher buy-ins, rather then small and micro ones.
And this can also be confirmed by seeing the ITM% of the top Leaderboard players.

It should also be noted that field size and satellite vs. non-satellite makes a difference.

For example, you would expect a higher ITM and lower ROI if you play mostly 2-table tournaments. Same should be true if you play a lot of satellites that award a large number of seats.

who cares about ITM anyway? ROI is all that matters when you look at a sample of poker tourneys.

^^^ this. i absolutely hate that OPR doesn't separate satellites from non (or just not include satellites at all, for that matter). my ITM% on OPR is well over 30% because i've played a truly absurd amount of satellites that i cash in over 50% of the time. makes my stats look [censored] stupid

If my ITM is just over 22% I should be doing better than just above break even over a 2 year period correct? This is really frustrating me why I am not doing better.

over how many tourneys?

Thepokerdb has me at 927 tournaments. Good point about the sats.....I have been playing more of those lately but my ITM has always been 20-23%.
