The general point is that playing for ITM will leave money on the table given the prize structure of donkaments will almost always favour actually winning rather than mincashing
Follow up to the ITM/ROI discussion.
I went back to my 2020 spreadsheet and carved out the tournaments in which I re-entered.
Of 213 tournaments, I re-entered in 15, 9 of which were double re-entries. One of my big wins was from a double re-entry.
My ITM in non-re-entered events went down to 27.2% and my ROI dropped to 40%.
In my two best years prior to 2020, my ITM was 18.7% and my ROI was 56.8%.
Thus, my data seems to support that above a certain level, as ITM increases, ROI decreases. Something I always assumed.
