    Daily Poker Tournys

    If all tournys pay out the same, the most +EV game would be the one with the least amount of players. Am I correct?

    I'm thinking the early bird game or the late nighter might be best...?

    there used to be a little bit of a divide

    they've evened out

    everyone knows this, so it tends to even things out if people notice a certain tournament is getting less players.

    This week every tournament has had at least 41, I believe.

    If you need confirmation that it's better value to play in a tournament with fewer players when payouts are always the same I highly doubt your mathematics skills.

    And even then you are only accounting for one factor.
    Volume of players, while ignoring quality of player.
    I'd put my implied odds in a 41 man tourney full of 1st time players better, than in a 12 man game full of sharks.

    I'd rather play the 12 man game, thanks. It's online poker.

    I didn't know if payouts were the same for every tourny or if they floated with the number of people. I was asking to confirm.

    Thanks captain obvious. I don't know who is sharp though and who isn't? Does SBR provide player stats?
