Default Re: Me and tourneys

If you are planning to play on Empire and think that you have a chance of winning, skip the $5 tourneys.

Play the $10+1 tourneys instead or better yet, take your $100 to pokerstars and play the $5 tourneys there until you have a bit more.

The problem is the fee. 10+1 vs 5+1. that's the same $1 going into Empire's pockets with smaller payoff. Between Empire and Pokerstars (who offer $5+.50) that means that in 200 tourneys you will save $100. Hopefully not, but this could be the difference between winning and losing.

As far as unpredictability and maniacs are concerned, that's usually a good thing but it will get frustrating at times.

Good Luck
