    Default What are reasonable stats to expect?

    I've just recently starting playing small field MTT's mainly $1.10 & $5.50 with fields between 150-300. I've played 62 so far (very small sample size I know) and I've been itm 21% and my roi is currently 181%. Of course I'd love for this to continue but is that reasonable? What might I expect say once I've played 1,000 tourneys? Also I am trying to stick to a bi of no more than 1% of my bankroll is this a good stratagy or should I adjust?

    I'd like some feed back and also any advise for somebody who is transitioning from FR to tourneys. Not that I was overly successful prior to Black Friday.

    The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck."

    ITM is reasonable, ROI isn't. You'll have a decent ROI in these tournaments but not 181% - 50% wouldn't be unreasonable as most of the opposition are mouthbreathers but you're probably looking more at 30% to start. 100BI is probably OK, 200BI would be safer but it's low stakes and you'll have a decent enough ROI anyway.

    I looked at some well known players. The ITM´s of the good players are around 14 %, and ROI´s i believe between 50 % and 150 %.

    Yeps ok, i looked at some great players on OPR (full tracking and with R/A) and 14 % ITM seems to be a magic number (plus minus 1 %),
    for instance: Moorman1, shaundeeb, dhilton12, Annette_15, TheLipoFund, AJKHoosier1, lilholdem954, Pearljammer.

    The people you've looked at all play in much tougher and larger tournaments than OP will be playing in. I think 18-20% ITM would be reasonable.

    yea 15-20% itm and 50-100% roi in lower stake on softer sites seems reasonable

    I think you should be able to maintain above 100% ROI in micros ($5 buyins and below) if you're actually a competent player... And something like 17-20% ITM is probably obtainable as well. But if you're just slightly less of a drooler then the other droolers, then like 30% is fine. But get better at poker!
