I guess as a baseline let's say a 400/600nl cash reg that has say a 2ptbb winrate without bumhunting over a decent sample. How much weight would that have if you were deciding whether to invest or not in a package they put together?
Also apologies if I do come off kinda condescending towards mtt pros but most online cash guys I talk to beat msnl and I'm judging mtt pros based on mostly people in live 1k-3k donkaments that I perceive to be regs and friends with all the other 2p2 regs do. I'm sure my perception of mtt pros would be much different if I routinely played in mtts with tough fields.
It really depends on his experience playing different stack sizes. If he has no idea on the adjustments to playing a shorter stack, then this would be a horrible investment even at face. Live experience also matters to some extent. If someone is calm cool and collected then I wouldn't worry, but some online people tend to be borderline autistic and can't function at a live poker table (exaggeration but seriously, some people really suck at live poker). ICM also matters as well.
In general I think someone who plays 400/600NL is not going to be a good investment in, say, a WSOP 5k because the really good online players who are actually good investments in these tournaments play much higher stakes. They also don't usually sell, or if they do it's a low % at a high markup. Pretty much everyone that beats MSNL will be a good investment in the main event, however.
Use your head. If someone is selling 80% at 1.xx of a 1k, then...
