    It's "RoI" (not RIO, that's a place), & stands for "Return on Investment".

    "ITM" = "In the Money". 

    Unfortunately, those terms mean different things to different people, so there is rarely consensus. Sharkscope, in particular, can be very misleading with those terms. 

    Traditionally, in an MTT, we all know what ITM means. But some include "Head Prizes" from Bounties. In the real world, that is wrong. (IMO).

    ITM = In The Money, i.e. those who cash in a Tournement

    RIO, I think you probably mean ROI, in which case it is Return On Investment, a measure of winings relative to amount staked.


    Beaten to it by Tikay by a few seconds!

    The only way I can think that would happen is like this....

    Player A has 10,000 chips
    Player B has 2,000 chips
    Players C has 2,500 chips


    Player B wins the pot overall but he doesn't have enough chips to knock out Player C because he can't cover his allin, so if Player A had a better hand than Player C, he effectively won that side pot for the extra 500 chips and was the one that knocked him out (so gets the bounty).

    Even though one of the short stacks won the pot, he would have beaten the other dude in the side pot, so got his bounty, and the short stack didnt have him covered

    Nothing to do with me, but I knew you had asked a few times, & I had said "soon" (T & C's apply).

    Lambert180's answer is correct.

    Is this one of the hands that prompted your question?

    Stack sizes before the blinds were posted;

    GaryQQQ 2065
    youngomuck 2040
    weecheez1 1830


    While you did win the main pot, you couldn't knock yougomuck or me out no matter what happened because because you didn't have either of us covered. I did have youngomuck covered. So as the big stack I won his head-prize in the 420 chip side pot despite losing most of my stack to you in the main pot.

    Thanks for that I understand how this works I just wasn't paying enough attention to stack sizes yet another problem that needs fixing who would of thought that such an easy game could be so complex lol

    I always thought ROI stood for rate of interest not Return on Investment but I suppose they're essentially the same thing anyway.

    Morning Groggy,

    That's a new one on me. 

    In common usage, ROI is always "Return on Investment", & I don't really see that as the same as "Rate of Interest". Normally (not always) we receive one, & pay the other.

    Speak for yourself teeks

    Borrowers pay a rate of interest
    Investors receive

    Two sides of the same coin
