I'm sorry but your ROI figures are pretty meaningless when you're using a sample size of only 50 MTT's. I would suggest a minimum of 1000 MTT's would give you a better idea of someone's ROI.

i understand your point but it's not necessarily right for this purpose cpfc.
i have used a minimum threshold of 50. that is removing anyone who has played fewer. to compare peoples' play you have to decide a reasonable cut-off. 1,000 games is not a good idea as it eliminates the overwhelming majority and you are left with measuring the ROI% only amongst a handful of players.
a 50 game threshold is a better number to use if you seek to compare hundreds (or thousands) of players whereas a sample size of 1,000 is good to be (almost) certain about one particular player's ROI.
50 does seem a very very small sample size imo. I also agree 1000 is overly excluding, 200-500 somewhere would be a decent compromise as that will still include those who just play a few tournies a week

When you say you have used a minimum threshold of 50 games, you don't have to explain to me that this removes players that have played less. I wholeheartedly disagree with 50 games being a good barometer to measure ROI. I suggest you start a thread and ask the "who's who" of sky poker what they consider a reasonable sample size to calculate MTT ROI.

The whole criteria for everything is all over the shop, unless someone can explain how losing £3k in 2 months at MTTs makes you one of the top 100 tournament players on the site for April and May.

Aussie takes into account 'good for the game' in his statistical analysis

yes, agreed. it is a compromise between those two things.
i woke up several times through the night and started re-thinking this point. usually thinking about formulae and processes sends me back to sleep, but this kept me wide awake.
today, i will use a 100 game threshold and see if it is better.
p.s. normally, i will seek to include approx 10%-15% of the 50,000 total player number to give a reasonable level of meaning to the figures. the 50 game threshold gives a pool of 7,843 players. changing to 100 players will bring this down towards 10%.

i disagree that it is wrong cpfc.
there is no disagreement that to know unequivocally we need to look at all games and would wish the number of events to be hundreds or thousands. we also know that a good barometer of player ability when compared to others needs to look at many games but not too many. this task requires a good sized pool of players so that you can evaluate relative performance.
as i said, i see your point but it is a balance.
edit: i have just noticed your figures cpfc_2010. astonishing. i reckon that if i had your track record i would have made exactly the same point that you have made. look out for the new and additional 1,000 game threshold ROI% league later today. it will be a good thing for sure.

i have no idea to which league table you refer or why you should reject the data. each league shows the top players given certain criteria, if you don't like one particular league, it doesn't make it incorrect, it just means that hhyftrftdr doesn't like it.

This is just like P5 rankings though, lots of MTT rankings reward volume over profitability.
there are 25 different leagues. you can choose the one that best matches your own view of who's best.
the leagues are quantitative and qualitative and show results by volume, by returns, by profit, by points, by percentage performance etc., over differing periods too, by day, week, month, year, past year and past three years. there are also another 10 specialist leagues.
If comparisons are less important to you than you own individual performance you can see your own HERO Card. There are 50,000 of those.

i might try publishing two leagues on ROI% with two different thresholds; 100 games and 1,000 games. that way, we may evaluate player performance over three years at two different levels. stay tuned.

Funny. You have a chance, but not a very big chance ;-)
Each shows the top 50 players over the past three years by Return on Investment percentage. There is a different qualifying threshold for each; 100 games and 1,000 games played which had a guarantee of £500 or more. There have been 13,643 major tournaments in this period.

i have used a minimum threshold of 50. that is removing anyone who has played fewer. to compare peoples' play you have to decide a reasonable cut-off. 1,000 games is not a good idea as it eliminates the overwhelming majority and you are left with measuring the ROI% only amongst a handful of players.
a 50 game threshold is a better number to use if you seek to compare hundreds (or thousands) of players whereas a sample size of 1,000 is good to be (almost) certain about one particular player's ROI.
I wholeheartedly disagree with 50 games being a good barometer to measure ROI. I suggest you start a thread and ask the "who's who" of sky poker what they consider a reasonable sample size to calculate MTT ROI.
yes, agreed. it is a compromise between those two things.
i woke up several times through the night and started re-thinking this point. usually thinking about formulae and processes sends me back to sleep, but this kept me wide awake.
today, i will use a 100 game threshold and see if it is better.
p.s. normally, i will seek to include approx 10%-15% of the 50,000 total player number to give a reasonable level of meaning to the figures. the 50 game threshold gives a pool of 7,843 players. changing to 100 players will bring this down towards 10%.
.
there is no disagreement that to know unequivocally we need to look at all games and would wish the number of events to be hundreds or thousands. we also know that a good barometer of player ability when compared to others needs to look at many games but not too many. this task requires a good sized pool of players so that you can evaluate relative performance.
as i said, i see your point but it is a balance.
edit: i have just noticed your figures cpfc_2010. astonishing. i reckon that if i had your track record i would have made exactly the same point that you have made. look out for the new and additional 1,000 game threshold ROI% league later today. it will be a good thing for sure.
i have no idea to which league table you refer or why you should reject the data. each league shows the top players given certain criteria, if you don't like one particular league, it doesn't make it incorrect, it just means that hhyftrftdr doesn't like it.
there are 25 different leagues. you can choose the one that best matches your own view of who's best.
the leagues are quantitative and qualitative and show results by volume, by returns, by profit, by points, by percentage performance etc., over differing periods too, by day, week, month, year, past year and past three years. there are also another 10 specialist leagues.
If comparisons are less important to you than you own individual performance you can see your own HERO Card. There are 50,000 of those.
i might try publishing two leagues on ROI% with two different thresholds; 100 games and 1,000 games. that way, we may evaluate player performance over three years at two different levels. stay tuned.
Funny. You have a chance, but not a very big chance ;-)
