See, I had actually originally written this mammoth post about my idea. The thing is that if I play in every tournament, I will win money eventually and probably a lot of it. If I play in maybe half the tournaments, that is different. Different still, what if I only play like 5 tournaments a week? The money leaderboard shows how much money you won, but not what it took to get you there.

Think about the Return on Investment (ROI) statistic that most poker players use. 2 players each have a $2million bankroll. 1 player had to invest $4million in buy-ins where 1 player had to invest $1million. They both have the same amount of money, but the second player is probably "better" because they have a positive ROI and the first player has a negative ROI. In our case, nobody invests anything so the ROI statistic is fairly useless. But what if we create an ROI statistic based on points used for buy-ins? Now we have something, and this is much easier to track than the crazy equation I was thinking of.

All we need is a dollar value for a given tournament buy-in (140 points = X dollars), then it is a simple ROI calculation where: TOTAL WINNINGS/TOTAL INVESTMENT (points invested) = ROI

What do you think?
