Re: Live Tournaments, when is it not worth while?
My results are overall negative for live tournaments, perhaps because I haven't hit the real money in the first 3 places.
I do well at turbos online, due to the weak competition and I am good at strategic preflop play. However, I find it hard to get a big edge in typical live daily tournaments. The players are pretty bad, but not as loose or aggressive as online. I find people will always call my preflop reraises when they shouldn't.
I played in a couple of slow structure tournaments and I found it a lot easier. I felt very comfortable in that I could wait to take advantage of situations. I also could easily see some mistakes I was making. I didn't cash in either. In the Harrahs 100+20, I finished 4th with 5 places paying. In the a Taj 300+40 side event with an even slower structure, I finished 40th of 110. Soon I would like to regularly play in those side events, including larger buyin ones, but I want to get some cashes, before I invest the money in that.
