Winrate in poker measures how fast a player wins. In cash games, it is measured in terms of the number of big blinds made per 100 hands.
Many players use software to calculate their winrate. This situation is especially the case for online players. Poker tracker will calculate winrate on hand histories it receives.
Unfortunately, without these two values, it won’t be possible to calculate winrate.
- Total number of hands we have played
- Total profit in big blinds
- Our tournament winnings.
- Amount spent on tournament buy-ins.
($10000 - $7500) / ($7500 * 100) = ROI
$2500 / $750000 = 0.0333 or 3.33% ROI.
We have $10000 in total earnings but have spent around $7500 on tournament buy-ins. What is our ROI?
The truth is, it depends on a wide variety of factors such as stakes, toughness of games, and rake.
- Earlier positions
- Marginally positive
- Lojack - 5
- Hijack - 10
- Cutoff - 25
- Button - 40
- Small Blind - (-15)
- Big Blind - (-30)
Breakdown of expected cash game
It’s crucial to account for variance when determining our winrate. The term variance refers to the way our results can differ from our actual winrate over a period of time.
