    I been playing on Absolute and UB for some time now, and need some help?

    What percentage do i need to be cashing in Mtt. I like to play the 40k usually sattie in along with 25k sniper and 4k rebuy. I cash but not really in the top 3 that much any thoughts.

    you should be casing 15-20% of the time in MTTs...probably closer to 20% on AP/UB...im not sure how often you should get top 3...but probably between 3-5% the time...so 20-33% of the time you cash, those cashes should be top 3's...

    Your cash percentage is usually based on the pay percentage. If 20% of spots are paying, you want to average close to that.

    I think the top 3 again has to be based on field size. You want to finish top 3 more than expectation. If there is an average of 100 people in a tournament, then you want to top 3 more than 3% of the time. But, if it has 500, you just won't get there as often.

    I understand that winning players tend to have a lower overall cash % but a very high FT %. So worrying about your overall cash % doesn't really help much. If you cash 40% of the time, but it's always a min-cash, you're still losing money.

    If you cash 5% of the time but half of those cashes are top-3, then you should be making a steady profit.

    At least, that's what I've been lead to believe. Those are extreme examples of course, but you get the idea.
