Where to play low ($5-$20) buyin MTT's

Tim H · #1 03-28-2005, 06:35 PM

Ok, I am looking to start up a 3rd MTT account.
Currently play UB and Absolute.

Which site would you play?
Must haves:
1. low buyin sats for bigger tourneys (internet or land based)
2. good selection of low-mid range MTT's (5-20) preferably not speed or rebuys
3. relatively soft sng's or small stakes nl cash games.

Where to go?
Stars? Party? Paradise? Pacific? Other?

thanks,
tim

I like stars, since they have so many options.

party for sure, plus they will actually make you a better player.

party for convenience (hardly an hour gos by without the kind of tourney youre looking for - or 4, seriously)

stars doesnt have as many nlhe tourneys but its the king of sats imo

what are UB and Absolute like?

I must admit ... i really like Absolute. Dang near weakly reloads and I like their tourney structure. They don't have the huge player base and its usually pretty easy to slide into the money playing a safe survival game.

UB - love the quantity of tourneys; dislike the size of tourneys and the idiots playing their flush draws every hand [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] which UB is happy enough to oblige.

I would try Pokerroom...They have tons of tourneys for $5-$20

I usually play the $5 multi's...you usually get from 200-400 players...if over 300 players, they pay top 40...with top 4 being "real money"..I took 4th in one and got $140..

A lot of weak players, LAGS..I try to take advantage of these players and build your stack early...or I'll bust out early trying...I push REAL hard with AA-KK..you'll usually get one caller with 10-10 or worse to double up..

You will need chips for after first hour break..then you can make your move at money..

Also the low buy-in sitngo's can be quite profitable..although be prepared to lose early when someone flops a set holding 2-9 suited

Hey:

I made a similar post a few days ago Cheap MTTs.

Zaxx turned me on to UB, which I have been liking thus far. I know you already play there, but they have a ton of cheapo MTTs. Party (the main site I play) has lots of SNG MTTs (3 table), but they don't have a ton of $5ish large MTTs.

However, their SNGs and NL ring games are extremely soft.
