"So, Are Poker Tournaments Bad Investments?

Here’s an interesting thought: When you initially buy into the above SNG for $530, the chips you receive are only worth $330, because of the average value of zero chips to each of the ten starting players. So, why would any intelligent poker player pay $530 for only $330 worth of chips? In a cash game, his $530 would purchase $530 worth of chips. Doesn’t this make a tournament a bad investment?

Before we answer this question, let’s consider what the chips are worth in a major tournament, rather than a hypothetical ten-player SNG. What are the $10,000 in chips worth that you purchase when you enter the main event of the WSOP? Let’s use the recent 2006 event as a model, but we’ll round off the numbers for convenience, and again, ignore the house fee.

In the 2006 WSOP main event, there were 8700 entrants who paid a total of $87 million to purchase chips. Of the $87 million in chips purchased, $12 million went to the winner. That means $75 million was paid out to players who finished with zero chips!

The average dollar value of a zero-chip finish at the start of the tournament was therefore $75,000,000 divided by the 8699 non-first-place finishers, or about $8,600. Which is to say, assuming this was entirely a non-skill event (yeah, right!), the chips any individual player purchased for $10,000 had a dollar value of less than $1400, because if he ultimately managed to collect all $87 million in chips in play, he would be paid less than 14 cents on the dollar of the chips’ initial purchase cost.

Now, let’s ask again why any intelligent poker player would pay $10,000 for only $1400 worth of chips? Wouldn’t this purchase be a bad investment?

Not at all. Tournaments are not cash games. In a cash game, you can never be paid for losing all of your chips. If you lose your $10,000 buy-in in a cash game, you go home broke. In a tournament, if you have the skill to outlast enough of your competitors, you can bust out—literally leave the table with zero chips—and cash out for substantially more than you bought in for.

  
Tournaments with percentage payout structures are designed to pay players for exhibiting exceptional skill, even if they do not beat all competitors. The chips’ dollar value is a minor factor. Let me repeat:

 

Poker Tournaments Are Not Cash Games

 

If you read the history of the WSOP, you’ll find that when it started in 1970, and for the first eight years, the main event was played with a winner-take-all format. During those early tournaments, every chip purchased really did have an exact dollar value based on its cost (or it would have had an equal value if the tournament players all had equal skill, which they probably did not)..."

What is the sobriquet of Ontario?

"The Centre of the Universe"

Might have to fly to Thunder Bay to be Mona's first guest and start my next West Coast swing from there.
Amazingly, once you've traversed Ontario - East to West - you are a short drive from North Dakota!
Big province, but totally surrounded. Does this explain their paranoid, conservative political realm?
