Ideal number of chips in multiple tourneys (MTT).
After a while of being too aggressive and whatnot I made a (unaccurate) table of how much chips you "should" have a goal for in NLHE:
1.7k plrs = 15,000 in chips.
2.5k plrs = 20,000 in chips.
4k plrs = 36,000 in chips.
5.5k plrs = 50,000 in chips. <----- Avg. tourney length = 4.5 hours.
7k plrs = 80,000 in chips.
P.S. This is to reach under 50th place and still be a contender for 1st.
P.S.S. Ideal for (me) a starting chip stack of 1,500 with normal blind levels (no turbos).
