Hello, everyone. Today I decided to spend an hour of my work time on telling you about our final table.
Typical questions you ask:
- Why don’t I get my exact EV?
- Why are there two of them damn tables (in reality thereÂ’s only one)?
- What kind of data is in this goddamn table?
OK, so let’s get to it. Our final table looks like this:
The first three lines in the header show basic info about the period: the total amount of tournaments played, the total amount of buyins, total pool’s EV, total pool’s profit, average buyin, swing, ROI and evROI and coeff.
Swing is very simple to calculate =
Total Profit - TotalEV
Coeff (% ROI) = Swing / TotalBI * 100
The yellow cells contain the euro rate which is fixed right before the pool of the current period is closed (in the morning of 21st). Remember, all calculations in our pool are made in USD, players bear their exchangesÂ’ and transactionsÂ’ costs independently.
OK, so why don’t you get your exact EV won?
It’s pretty simple — each period pool runs over EV or under EV depending on variance.
At this point the best assumption we have as to why the pool runs under EV more often is that the EV formula for Spins doesn’t account for the fluctuations of chips/EV equalizing it for every single tournament regardless of the multiplier.
OK. Why are there two of them damn tables?
This one is very easy. In reality there’s only one final table that’s being published once a month on the morning of the 25th.
The preliminary results table you see in your account on our website IS NOT FINAL as you can tell from the name.
You’re supposed to use the said table to check if your preliminary results are correct and to monitor the status of your hand histories check from current or any other previous period.
We’ve sorted out the common questions regarding our final table, now let’s discuss
what data is included in the table and how to use it.
The first four columns contain the player’s nickname, hand histories’ check status for the current period, stake played and distance played on that stake.
Then we have columns with EVchips (All-in Adj in PT4), ChEV, EV USD won and actual USD profit.
There are separate lines for every stake of every player in the pool.
Total $ column is just a sum of actual USD profit for every stake of a player.
Total $EV however is not always equal to the sum of EV USD because the
HH corr column is also included in this calculation.
The number in the
HH corr column can appear as a result of your hand histories verification.
The column
Final $EV is calculated very easily =
TotalBI * coeff \ 100 + EV. For players who use EV deal the coeff is fixed and at this point equals -0.15.
You can get your Final $EV using another columns:
Total $EV - corr = Final $EV
You can see the impact of the pool coeff on your personal USD profit in the
corr column, or you can calculate it yourself using the formula
TotalBI * coeff \ 100. If you want to find out more about why our pool works this way, you can watch a
video (in Russian) where the formula is explained in depth .You can always access the video from pinned messages in our #business channel on our discord server.
TotalBI is the total amount of buyins and
evROI% = $EV \ TotalBI. In the
Stake column you can see euro stakes, but these stakes are included in the poolÂ’s calculations in their USD equivalent using the fixed exchange rate.
Next we have
x100, x200, EVDeal columns. The first two show the % of money won in x100 and x200 multipliers that are included in the pool, and the third one shows if the EV Deal service is active for this player.
Last but not least. As I mentioned earlier, there is only one final table. The data in your account on our website, including the
get\send amount, is only preliminary.
The pool fee (
$Pool column) and EV deal fee (
$EV Deal column) ARE NOT included in your account on our website.
The final amount of money to receive or to send can be found in the final table under the get\send column and equals
get\send = Final $EV - Total $ - $Pool - $EV Deal.
If the number in the
get\send column is negative, the player ran over EV and has to send money out. If the number is positive, it means the player ran under EV and has to get money from the pool.
I hope this article will reduce the amount of strange questions to Support.
