Me and tourneys

[cianosheehan]

I am just about to start playing again,probably exclusively(one table)tournaments. I play on Empire poker and am starting with a $100 bankroll. I have played the NL$25 live games already. I would consider myself a decent player, definately better than most I have played against on the NL$25 tables. I just wanted to ask what way anyone would recommend I start with tournaments. I thought I would start off on the $5 tables,and work my way up if things go well. Or do you think those tables are too unpredictable, too many maniacs etc.? Or maybe you have some tips on how to approach these games,and the maniacs!? Thanks v.much folks!!
