Some OPR statistics.

I was just browsing some Official Poker Rankings (OPR) stats earlier and I had some mixed feelings towards what I found. I play the most under the alias donpeters on FTP, PS, and Bodog. It's too bad OPR doesn't cover Bodog because I have had a lot of success in MTTs there that won't be shown.

I'm not happy that my ROI is only 1%. I guess I can look at it like it's positive and I'm not losing money, but I'm not really winning any either. I have had my running-bad streaks in MTTs and I know that I used to play a lot of MTTs as recreation when I was first starting out in poker. Of course, I can't eliminate those results as I have to look at the entire picture. I am happy with the fact that when I cash, which is 22% of the time, I win the tournament roughly 10% of the time. So for every 10 times I make it to the money, I should win one of those times. I would like to get this up to around 15-20% if possible. I am able to come in the top three places just under 27% of the time. I like this number because top three is usually where the money is at in tournaments. This number is skewed somewhat due to playing 18-man SNGs. Even though they generally pay out the top four players, it's really only worth it to come in the top three.

Another good stat that I feel good about is the fact that when I finish in the money, I make the final table around 55% of the time. In bigger tournaments, you can get a solid payday if you make it to the final table, but as always, the big money is in the top three. I also like that when I make the final table, I tend to win the tournament just under 18% of the time.

I'm not sure as to whether or not these stats are good, average, or bad. I am going to try and do some searching around later tonight and in the next few days to see what a good measure for these stats would be. If anyone has any input, that'd be great. For right now, I'm feeling pretty good about these numbers, but I want to improve on them as always.
