What Percentage of FINAL TABLE Success do You Play?

Most good poker players make the final table a high percentage of the tourneys they play. There are a good many players I'm aware of that are in the 85% to 90% final table success bracket. So if you think you're good, expect to make final table close to 9 out of every 10 tourneys you play. Then, you're a real expert and poker pro if you wanna be.
I'm not as good of a poker player as I want to become.
The average tourney I play has around 50 participants. I make final table about 70% of the time.
What do you think your percentage is?
Sit-n-Go's are the easiest way to track another stat. Don't count anything except first place.
What percent of the Sit-n-Go's that you play in, do you win first place? Pro's hit in the 75% to 80% 1st place success bracket with 6 players on the table, and 70% to 75% with 9 players competing.
I'm 1st in about 55% of my 6 player Sit-n-Go's. I certainly need to improve in that area. What about you?

Making final table 70% of the time in a 50 peeps MTT seems unreal. Where are you playing those Sng?

Sng's online are mostly at Carbon Poker, sometimes I play a few at Juicy Stakes too....

All of those numbers are unrealistic.

Yes , I think you got hold of some bad information if you were able to hit the final table you could buy the poker site.

def unrealistic numbers lmao...where are you playing these tourneys at a grade school?

hahaha thats unreal for a beginnr player as you. Wake up, its just a dream

your number are way off, just saying way offfff

If you flip the numbers and thats the percent you dont make it to final table they might be right.

Ok, you know you can check your carbon stats on sharkscope, and since its against their policy i won't post what i found there, unless you want me too and give me permission. I don't know what you are allowed to do with the free access but i have a paid acc't there so i can change the categories and one of the ones i use is in the money percentage. You are no where near what you claim, in fact, the top money makers on the leaderboard there are no where near those numbers. Just to give you an idea, top 3 on leaderboard for mtt's in 2013 are just in the money (let alone ft) around 20-25%. Sng's obv you should be itm at higher percentage, but you are never going to win at the rate you say, again, top 3 ldr board for merge for sng's are itm around 50% . Was a little harder to find sng leaders just for merge, so i assumer that is 9 man. But as you can see and as everyone has said, you're way off.

Ok then... everybody so far says I'm way off on my stats.... my question to everyone in this post is what you think YOURS are? Have you even thought about it? I am at 55% 1st place at my 6 player SnG's.. after 50... 6 Player SnG tourneys on Carbon, I have 18 1st place wins... and madjek... Sharkscope doesn't tell you what kind of bankroll I've built at Carbon Poker either... or anywhere else.... Im listening to what anybody else has to say....rghy2... look what I wrote again... read it.... it's not bad information

Actually sharkscope does tell me your profit made on carbon, which is basically your br built. Now , you seem to either be not communicating what you actually mean or you don't understand percentages. Finishing first 18 out of 50 games (looking at sharkscope i looked at you last 50 and saw 13, but maybe i counted wrong) is not 55%, it is 18/50 X 100= 36%.

I don't know if you read my whole response, if you did you can see your percentages are way off and unrealistic as none of the top players are anywhere near what you stated. Honestly, i don't know what the pt of this is, but just want you to understand the goals you stated will never happen, there is just too much luck involved and variance would never allow that kind of win rate over the long haul. I wish you all the luck and hope you do well, but imo, only stat that really matters is how much money you get out of poker vs what you put in, if its pos. you've done well.

yes.. 36% is accurate overall.... but on 6 player sng's only.. it's 55%... whatever.... you are right... it's what you cash out verses what you've put in... guess what? I've never invested a dime of my own money at online poker... freerolled on four different sites in the past five years and built bankrolls in all of them... my real problem with online poker though... is cashing out... the fuckers won't ever send me my money... so I consider this practice only anyway

Really the thing to me is not to make the money but to win or get in the top three ,if you make it in the money you get maybe 2 to 1 if you win the whole thing it's like 26 to 1 big difference you'd have to place in a whole lot of tourneys to make up for one win.

I feel like I have a really good chance to win any tournament my percentage isn't very good right now but it only took me 4 tournaments to win a pokerowned freeroll. It just depends some on luck are you getting the cards or not. I would say my percentage right now is like 40-50% pretty low.

85-90% final table ratio? That is ridiculous. Most poker pro's would consider hitting the money 1 in 5 tournaments to be a good percentage let alone the final table. I'm not talking about free rolls though.

the best do around 18-20% itm..anything higher with a great volume of mtts are great

I have received cash outs on Bovada and Absolute back in the day. Bovada has always been very good about paying and you don't have to wait very long for your money after cashing out.

I agree, I'm not sure where the 85-90% ratio came from. No one, no even the best poker players are at tht ratio for final tables.

I've only been playing the freerolls here for MTTs, but I'm at 15% - and with the average Carbon PO tourney that I play having about 80 players, the average player should get there about 12.5% the time - So I'm pulling my weight and a bit more. You guys are some serious competition (most PO players). These freerolls are as serious as some real money games. So the fact that I'm doing slightly better than average AND that I'm new means that I'm only 2.5% full of myself:cool:

why is everybody ragging on Tomcat??? What did he do?
