Calculating poker ability/skill using PO

[s810car]

There in an inherent flaw in this method. For instance, player A has played 1000 games, made 100 final tables and won 20 games, player B has played 500 games, also made 100 final tables and won 20 games. Obviously they are not equally skilled despite both having a 20% win ratio when making final tables.

Also, now on the player profile page has the total # of games played.

+1

method by OP is total wins/total cashes really (since the freeroll cash at FT) all that ratio tells you is your roi value vs another member, and ONLY if same number of games are played, AND in the same field quantity (carbon consistently has a bigger player pool at least at night afaik, so a small mtt player has advantage over a 1 table sng or cash player). real comparison should be split between <=27 players (3 table close enough play for single table sng players), and 4 table + games, and from there figure roi% (game cash/game played) and THEN take 1st place finishes / ROI. That will give you the most consistent result, provided you have a large enough sample (most accurate from 1000+ games, ok accuracy from 250+, very poor less amount of games)

if you minus the positive integer into the negative plotoplasma then you get = donk

PO games have no correlation to what your skill level is. They are progressively getting more donkish and its becoming a crap shoot, any "freeroll" thats played. Wheres those extra funds going from buy ins LOL

[nab76]

im .1666 i'll take it but in my profile it says that i win 4% of the tourneys i play which means i win 4 tournaments out of a 100 im not sutre if that is good or not

[hegaboy1125a]

is always good to know how to calculate the odds of winning a hand of poker... very good to play.

I DON'T GET because most of the time people aren't in the final table,if you hit the top ten I think you would have done good.

[Pray4Spades]

It would be cool if we could see how many total tournaments we've played in, then we could really start calculating some stats.

This, would be an interesting statistic.
