Personally, I'd be 8 tabling these.
5K ????
OP didn’t give tournament specifics. Below is a table I developed that shows the sample size you need for a 9 man Sit-n-Go to be 90% confident you are a winning player. Buy-in = 9+1: Prize Structure: 50-30-20
| | 9-Man SNG | Sample Size | for 90% Confidence | WR>0 vs. ROI | |
| | | | Return on Investment, ROI | | |
| ITM Placing Distrib. | 10% | 15% | 20% | 30% | 40% |
| Uniform 1-1-1 | 350 | 162 | 92 | 42 | 24 |
| Symmetrical 1-2-1 | 331 | 149 | 85 | 39 | 22 |
| First Likely 3-2-1 | 417 | 189 | 109 | 50 | 29 |
| Third Likely 1-2-3 | 275 | 124 | 70 | 31 | 17 |
So, if you were playing these kinds of tournaments, and finished first, second and third about equally, with a 15% ROI you would need about 162 tournaments to be 90% confident of being a winner.
