Take a look at the first post of this whole thread, freechips1.

It explains the whole formula.

it's actually less complicated than it first appears.

It's basically your profit divided by the buy-in, and then multiplied by 100 to give you a percentage.

By the way Rich I was watching 861 last night & in the break you had a Top tip for playing in Timed tournies, can you just remind me what it was please??

how do work it out? ty
Posted by freechips1

Take your total winnings, and subtract your buy-in (including the fee), to give you the profit.

Divide that profit by your buy-in (including the fee), to give you your ROI.

PS, oh, and as Rich says, multiply by 100.

Blimey, can't remember, Mike. The show you were watching last night was probably a repeat from several weeks ago.

I'm probably going to write a blog on timed tournies soon.

But tips off the top of my head? Treat the 30 min and 60 mins ones like DYMs- no need to go crazy in the opening 2 or 3 levels.

Then get busy when half the field has disappeared. Pick your spots and open shove with half-decent and above hands. Either you pick up blinds and slowly accumulate a stack to convert into cash, or someone calls you and you have a chance at a double-up.

Don't see too much point in aiming for a tiny profit, unless you're in the final couple of minutes and you decide it's better to get your money back to use in the next game, rather than gable when you're card dead.

If anyone else has any tips I'd love to hear them, and I will probably publish them in my next blog, coming over the next week or so- although I will credit whoever came up with the tip!

4 played 1 cash (£1.32 profit in that) 9 hands played 2 won at showdown. Cant win flips and pairs run into bigger pairs. Not much i can do.

I shall win one of these. Only a matter of time lol

RICHORFORD

24th/96 in the 9.20pm and an ROI of 57.8%! Constantly cashing but can't get into 3 figures tonight!

Now gearing up for the big one- the 10pm 60 minute game!

Good luck all!

Have got 3 tips Rich,

1) Always have the lobby open & showing your chips stack value.

2) Keep an eye on the blinds & play as if it 1 level higher because with 5 min blinds it soon will be

3) Dont shove the last hand with 2nd pair the villain will always have you beat!!

unknown_username

Cashed in one so far but nothing worth posting,  gonna crush this 10pm one now

GL all

Not a great end to the evenings entertainment, crashed & burned in last 2.

Oh well there is always next week & I am looking forward to when Padz77 goes on holiday & gives others a chance :-) 

RICHORFORD

Urgh!

Out of the 60 minute game in record time. I normally last well over the halfway stage.

My premature exit may have something to do with me picking up pocket Aces, making a standard raise and getting called by Q8 who then flopped middle pair and called another hefty bet from me, only to turn two-pair.

Cest la vie!

Now in the 10.35pm 15 minuter!

Thanks Mike, with your permission I might well use this as part of next blog.

Unlucky on tonight- I'm sure you'll win one day!

RICHORFORD

Finished the 15 minute game and cashed for about £4. Only trouble is it cost me £5.50 to enter. So that's a negative ROI but at least I got most my buy-in back, unlike a normal tournament where I would lose the lot if I didn't cash.

Final game for me at 11.40 tonight, followed by announcing the winner at midnight.

Watch this space!

Man of my word lol

10pm finished 1st

Buy in £11  cashed £87.15  someone work out the roi please

poppy765

Hiya, I managed £70.86 in the £11 (60min), I think that's 544% roi...
However Arazi has me beat, well done!

RICHORFORD

Well played poppy- but that's a titanic result from Arazi (daz).

ROI of 695%!

That's the leader right now with a few minutes to go!

RICHORFORD

Good finish for me in the 11.40pm.

Finished 2nd!

RICHORFORD

3662.50

2

£18.31

£18.31 off a £5.50 buy-in gives me a very decent ROI there of 233%

Right, I'll announce a winner in a few minutes once everyone's had time to post any last minute results!

RICHORFORD

Well, he said he was going to crush the 10pm and he wasn't wrong.

Winning it outright and taking down this week's main event seat with an ROI of 695% is _ARAZI_

Well done Daz- you're in tomorrow night's Sky Sports Bounty Hunter at 8pm free-of-charge. Good luck in it!

Thanks to everyone else who played tonight and look forward to seeing you all again next Wednesday!

Thank you Poppy and also very unlucky because i hit a set v the chip leaders AA with about 1 min to go but because of how consistent you are in these i have no doubt you will be getting your crown back soon enough.

Good Luck.

Well played to Daz and Mike, two of my loyalist Orford challengers!

Daz- I'm loving the fact that you cashed a very decent sum to go on top of your original timed tournament winnings. 

Plenty of reason for those who haven't tried the challenge yet to give it a go next week!
