I was wondering what seams to be the best level to play at. So many people back the lower $ ones I was wondering if it would not be a better game if i moved up a level or two. any thoughs plez

I th'o't ya might try ta move up ta uh higher buyin, but ya would be foolish ta play above yo' skill level ta git rid o' worse players, especially since it'll cost ya mo'.

just thought it might be better to play aginst a few hundred people and not a few thousand

You're gonna be more profitable if you stick with the fives, but you probably just want to get to the final table of one. I'd go for 20s they seem to have a lot of fish in them and are about 500-700 usually.

similar difficulty imho. You still have to finish in the top 10%. Plus at a higher buy in, even though there are less people, they play g00t usually so your competition is tougher.

Actually, in the cheapies ($5+1), you need to finish in the top 6.5% to make the cash (they only pay 130, and usually get 2000 entries). So it might be easier to make the cash in the higher buyin tournies. Though in the two $30+3s I've done on Party, they had 1510 and 1650 entries, respectively, so you still had to be better than top 10% to make the money.

if you wanna play against smaller fields try a different site - like prima poker

[jslag]

If you're stuck on Party, try playing the last tournaments they offer during the night/early morning hours. You can get in some $20+2 or $30+3 tournaments that have fields ranging from 250-700 rather than 900-1600 you'll see during peak hours.
