Re: How does Daniel Negreanu make money? (MTT strategy)
[ QUOTE ]
Well, I certainly got schooled. I thought for sure that getting knocked out 40% of the time in the first hand would be -EV, since having double the starting stack doesn't necessarily make it SO MUCH more likely that you'll win (place ITM). [/ QUOTE ] It approximately doubles (slightly less than doubles) your chances of making the money and/or winning the tournament. |

Re: How does Daniel Negreanu make money? (MTT strategy)
This Cardplayer article by Matt Matros addresses the issue.
He agrees with Daniel that you shouldn't pass up a 60/40 edge, but disagrees that it is okay to pass up a 55/45 edge and suggests that only a very good player should pass up a 53/47 edge. |

I won't bother doing anything to this thread, but I'd wager than the MTT forum is probably the best place for MTT strategy. Mostly because you'll get MUCH better answers.

...six out of 10 times, you’d start the tournament with twice as many chips, while four times, you’d be out early and could enjoy the rest of the afternoon! [/ QUOTE ] Handsome, i think this is important. Remeber, to the "top pros", their $10k is far from scared money. I they bust, they can pretty much just shrug their shoulders, say "meh", and move on. For DN to have a few free days to play the side games, when they are at their juiciest, makes a big difference. A secondary consideration would be that doubling allows loss of a allin and still have avg stack. It allows him to make some plays, and take some ppl of the best hand, which is a tool more valuable to him than to you or I. Win= valuable extra chips Lose= walk over to the side games and sit...where EV may be as much or even more than sitting a few more days in the main event. Its certainly not a big EV hit if he loses. *Although, for DN to make the final table of WSOP would be worth much more than the true $ prize, as his endorsemnt value rises even higher than it is now. I suspect his is a consideration of many top players...winning WSOP ME is worth more than the prize, not to mention the braggin rites among the other big names. |

Every time you flip those cards over and you're a 60% fav...you played the hand correctly - even if you lose - you made the right play - took me a long time to get that in my head.

Re: How does Daniel Negreanu make money? (MTT strategy)
It's easy for pros to take a 60/40 hand when they have a hug bankroll. For those of us with a smaller bankroll, we're essentially trying to get in the money, as opposed for outright winning the tournament. You can't be a top player unless losing the buy-in is meaningless to you.
