First thing we see is that these guys play a lot of tournaments. One player, who made $200,000 on one site in one year of play, was in over 2,200 tournaments. He averaged paying $175 per event. His return on investment was 52%.
This is a lot of tournaments. If he plays 300 days of the year he would need to play over seven a day. This means that this player was playing a few events at the same time. This is typical for these top players.
Even if he plays every day, this still means he'd have to play over six tournaments a day. This means he plays multiple tables at once. This is normal for most of these top earners.
Playing multiple tables is very common for highly skilled online players. One of the main reasons this is done is it can drastically increase your hourly rate of return. Another good reason to play multiple tables is to keep boredom from creeping into your play.
The top internet players make it to the money in about 15% of the time. This stat can vary from player to player, but is amazingly standard. To get a feel for how tough psychologically MTTs can be. The best online players cash on average 15 times for every 100 tournaments they play in, a sobering thought.
They make more deep runs. They are willing to take chances to get a big stack that they can use to win a tournament. They know that this is essential in making profits in MTTs.
The short term ups and downs of MTT events are fairly long in cycling through. A big win or a gaggle of bad beats will distort you results. With enough tournaments, this balances out.
When you have a lot of tournaments, a thousand (or more) maybe, you can start to trust the numbers. Then you have a good idea of what you can expect. You can to some accuracy predict what your income can be, if things stay the same.
The stats tell us that most top tournament players play a lot of tournaments. The exception might be an occasional high stakes player. And, in spite of such a high volume of play, they keep a decent ROI of at least 50%.
If you feel like you can beat the MTTs, make sure you study up on bank roll management, The ability to play won't help you if you blow your roll. You can't escape the fact that there will be losing streaks that you'll need to ride out.
