      <description>New version is uploaded. Both problems seem to be fixed. Please be aware that your Profit and ROI may be off a little bit from what you see in HEM/PT3 software due to rounding in the finishing %.

Thanks JtX for spotting those 2 bugs and thanks Delliks for the support so far.

      <description>Sorry to start commenting in your blog in a slightly negative manner.

Nice work on the SNG Simulator, I love how it works.

However, I think there's two bugs involved. Both Rakeback and Total Profit-windows have the same exact formula. So they always seem to have the same value. Of course, you can see from the graph how things really are.

Then there's a problem with precalculated profits per tourney. Now your formula is off a bit:

(Number of players * (Buyin + Possibility to finish first) * Payout for first) - (Buyin + Rake)

The possibility to finish first is used in every part of the way (1st, 2nd and 3rd). This makes the simulator to give out larger calculated profit for a certain finish distribution than it should give (If I have 10% possibility to finish first and 10+1$ tourneys, the result is off after 5000 tourneys by 4550$. The same false result is used in simulations, so simulations are a bit off by default if you use your own finish distributions as guidance. If you use your ROI and fix finishing % to your ROI, then simulator gives out correct results.

Correct formula should be:

(Buyin * Players * Payout%) - (Buyin + Rake)

      <description>Phil Shaw is the author of &#8220;Secrets of Sit&#8217;n&#8217;gos&#8221;. You can sharkscope him on pokerstars by Jackal69 username.

At the moment I'm playing 6-tables of $10+$1 regular speed SNGs at PokerStars.

      <description>thanks for the spreadsheet, really good tool. I think more people should download this as it will really give people a challenge or playing more games.

Would be cool if you could add a rakeback section too ;)</description>

      <description>Hi you're blog is really interesting. I was just wondering who wrote &#8220;Secrets of Sit&#8217;n&#8217;gos&#8221;.

Also how many tables do you play?</description>

      <category>Comment on SNG Wiz Quiz - 2 April by JtX</category>
      <description>In my opinion there's not a lot difference between 20s and 10s (in turbos at least). Bad players are just as bad in both, regs are generally a bit better, but not a lot better on 20s. If there were just a few games, you might have just run worse in the 20s.</description>

      <category>Comment on Improving SNG bubble play by Delliks</category>
      <description>I've set mine up exactly the same as you only with Full Tilt and 100 questions. seems your bubble play is pretty solid but there is always room for a little improvement.

Afterwards look at you 5 handed game, 6 handed game, just keep on improving. I love playing around with the ranges and stack sizes in SNG wiz to see where a push becomes a fold etc. It's really a great tool.</description>
