How many tournaments to consider ROI?

around 25.000 depending on avg field size

Even though, I generally don't play MTT's, I think ihufa is not kidding here.
Tourneys with thousands of people have a huge variance, so your ROI will drastically change with making the top 3.

200 is waaaay too little. Not really worth thinking about even if you were talking about 45-man tourneys.

200 not enough even for 9-max no-turbo.

it`s strongly depend from field size.

for 45-man maybe (maybe!) 3000-5000 is enough

Hello,

good question.
In my opinion, You probably need 2000+ to start considering it.

but keep an eye on how often you make the money.
Lets say you make the money 9% of the time and then after 1500 tournaments you got 50% R.O.I chances are you got super lucky in a few tournaments. But if you make the money 18% of the time and your r.o.i is 30+% then you are likely playing a very solid game.

good luck at the tables

Making deeper runs less often >>>> Mincashing 18%
So I would disagree with all of what you said.

I agree with metza,

mincashing isn't what you should be looking for. A very high ITM% will often lead to very little ROI. Furthermore it indicates some leaks in bubble and late game play.

You can make first assumptions on being a winning player or not after 1k games. To get a realistic ROI you need way more.
