Default Re: Speed PP Strategy

Do you start out at a low table if you register early or is it random?

Random.

It seems like way more a luckfest if you start on a high table, but is that better?

By definition, a "Speed" tourney is a crapshoot due to the fast blind structure. And because PP breaks up it's tables from highest to lowest, it can be beneficial to a shortstacked player to miss a blind turn when a table breaks.

These tournies are really strange due to the stalling and massive blind increase at about 2x entrants from payout.

People should play as fast as possible until Level 11 or 12. The stalling is a good strategy as it pits table against tables rather than player against player. If the play gets to hand for hand and/or at max blind level, stalling is pretty much pointless.

These tourney can be a lot of fun but there's is not much skill beyond uber-gap concept play.
