Average stack
Average stack - a term relevant for tournament poker. Average stack is calculated by dividing the total amount of chips in the tournament on the number of remaining players.
There’s the following formula to calculate an average stack in poker:
(SP x OS) / RP
Where:
- SP - Total amount of players registered in the tournament (Starting players)
- OS - Player’s starting stack (original stack)
- RP - An amount of players remaining in the tournament (remaining players)
It’s important to understand, that an average stack is used only to identify player’s position in the tournament.
