100%, I played one WPT and cashed. Just kidding but I did play one and cash one and kidding on the 100%. From what I saw my guess it's very very low.

Every good player should cash in the main event because the bad players will not cash

NONSENSE!

According to the official report on Day 3 of the 42nd WSOP main event:

Well-Known Players Eliminated: Mike Caro, Noah Boeken, Victor Ramdin, Will “the Thrill” Failla, Patrik Antonius, Shaun Deeb, John Racener, Steve Dannenmann, Matt Matros, Jason Mercier, Dan Shak, Greg Mueller, Annette Obrestad, (by no means complete).


None of these players made the money and hence by your standards are not good players.

UTTER NONSENSE.

Re: What precentage of MTT will a good player on average cash

Players like Patrik Antonius, Shaun Deeb, Jason Mercier, Annette Obrestad and Matt Matros are just button clicking online robots who are total scrubs in the live arena. The rest of your list though I will admit include some outstanding masters of the game. I'd say this proves that the estimate of 100% is inaccurate. I can only assume they fall into the 3.50% of outliers for any given tournament, and as such my 96.50% calculation still appears to be correct.

Are you saying these numbers for online or live? That's pretty spot on for online. I think this is a really good question actually. Maybe 18%-22% for live?

O.K. I see that you mean "Online poker rankings", which I have now looked at. This is of course for online and not live poker, but we can extraoplate. Clicking on some of the there listed top online players I find that the "in the money" percentage is between 15% and 22%. I expect it to be less live, but we can debate that. These results confirms my expectation that: Good players make the money in about 1 out of 5 tournaments. I consider this an end to the question. Thanks for pointing me to OPR.

Thank you to all the sincere contributors.

Op, as hilarious as it is watching people troll you, here is a friendly tip:

There is no direct correlation between ITM and ROI, so your question is irrelevant.
