I recently spent a bit of time thinking about the real ROI and variance in MTTs. This led me to compare a few profit graphs and the difference in ROI of some highstake MTT regs (some of the best) between regular and rebuy tournies.

Here are a couple of graphs (obv keeping anonymous nick names).

REG 1:

Rebuy tournies

Regular tournies

REG 2:

Rebuy tournies

Regular tournies

As you can see, there is a huge difference between the consistence of the graphs and profit per game. Taking into account the system that Sharkscope adopts, regarding rebuy tournaments (sharkscopes uses avg. rebuy in tournament), I came to the conclusion that these regs must be making more rebuys than the average, which consequently dont appear on the graphs.

I feel that it is not possible to have such a small edge in regular tournaments while having a really big edge in rebuy tournaments.

REGULAR - REG 1 - $7 profit per game, ABI $90, 7.7% ROI
REBUYS - REG 1 - $56 profit per game, ABI $140, 39% ROI

REGULAR - REG 2 - $0.8 profit per game, ABI $99, 0.8% ROI
REBUYS - REG 2 - $31.4 profit per game, ABI $130, 24% ROI

What do you guys think about this?

(It also works for lower buy-ins)

Thanks
