Message: [QUOTE="David G, post: 1660836, member: 75960"] Actually, I'm not sure but I guess a tracker could help "gauge" some of that. I know they have an all in ev feature (which is limited though and can give flawed perspectives) and I know for cash it will count the amount of money in the pot and apply it but for tournaments I think it just counts the stack size without applying a monetary value to the actual cost of real $$ you lost. I mean this can go much much further as well obviously. Another example would be the implied odds of future possible money made in endorsements etc, using the "wsop main event" example above where the guy lost an 80-20 on the final table bubble. No one's going to care or remember how the guy in tenth went out but regardless of how lucky the guy who won the hand might have been, if he goes on to with the tournament that will be the only thing that will be remembered and by magnitudes. Imagine for a second this affect trickling down all the way to like 400th place. Surely there's someone who could have one the tournament had he survived a certain hand, or likewise, someone who did when he was at risk with 400 players left and went on to win. The implications of timing, while pretty much unmeasurable, can be epic. T.J. Cloutier comes to mind. A fantastic tournament player in his prime and if Chris Ferguson didn't hit the 3 outer on the river HU in their main event, one can wonder about lots of stuff. That may not be the best example of "timing" but we all know Chris F went on to a high profile and ownership in FTP and invites to invite only super tournaments with money added and T.J. pawned one of his bracelets at the local pawn shop. Anyway, I think there's a ton to timing and it's an almost uncovered topic. [/QUOTE]
