yapb

Last night, I achieved yapb - yet another personal borscht. I tied for the best negative ROI for a tournament where I lost money. Here are the top ten:

Recording a negative ROI of less than 100% for a tournament where you've lost money can only be achieved in tournaments where the lowest rungs of the payout ladder fail to cover the buy in. Of course, no one would willingly choose such a tournament, but there's no way to know what the pay table will end up being at the time you join, more's the pity.
