Going deep

There are lots of different ways of making a profit playing MTTs. I used to think the most important predictor of success was a really good making the money percentage. While no one should turn their nose up at that, lately I think a better predictor is the ability to go deep in tournaments. I knew that I'd have to choose a percentile to consider the minimum requirement for "going deep", and was all set to pick the 93rd; however, when I ran last night's numbers and saw that I hit the 92nd percentile in the second tournament I entered, I ended up picking that one instead :-)

Now that I have the definition, I can calculate the rate I go deep in MTT NLHEs. Drumroll, please ... My rate is 12.77% (82 of 642). Not too shabby!
