We think our live tournament results are getting stronger because we're playing NBC Sports online tournaments on a regular basis. In fact, results are better at both -- with three final tables in our last seven at NBC Sports, and a record high 5th Sunday afternoon (out of 62 players).
(There's a Biblical principle that comes to mind here. Proverbs 27:17 talks about "iron sharpening iron" -- and while that is used in relationship to friends, it probably can work for one game improving another as well.)
This regular feature measures live match results -- and in our ten outings, we've made SEVEN final tables! Using our standard from a Kansas City area casino....
BUY-INS: 80 nights x $50 = $4,000
Four of the seven final tables resulted in top five finishes -- one of them really a tie for fifth, due to two all-in players being eliminated at once. Presuming a payoff of $500 for first, $400 for second and so on:
First -- 4 ($2,000)
Second - 4 ($1,600)
Third -- 4 ($1,200)
Fourth - 5 ($1,000)
TIES for fourth:
one two-way ($150)
one three-way ($67)
Fifth -- 5 ($500)
TIE for fifth: 1 ($50)
TOTAL -- 21 for $6,567.
The return on our pretend "buy-in investment" is now at 64.2%.
As for applying this to the NBC Sports online games -- uhhhhh, right now we're thankful we only invest points there. But we're improving.
