The easy answer, of course, is to simply subtract the rake, and boom. But good players want more than the rake per hand. Hence this forum. But I'm wondering, where would you draw the line?

Eg, you have perfection information on the EV of your hand. Outside of the river, you don't know which cards will come. So where's the limit? 55%? 65%? Of course the timing of the tournament (particulalrly in STT's) matter, but I'm asking in a general sense?

Sorry if I didn't use terms right. I'm just getting back into the online game.

In a SNG, your concern is your tournament equity. There isn't a "general answer" because it's specific to the situation in the tournament. The minimum EV that you're looking to have when your deep-stacked in the first few levels is completely different than the EV that you're looking for when you're short-stacked on the bubble.

I would think around 65% sounds right on the (mid)stakes I play. On micros probably around 70% and high stakes 55% might be enough.
