Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 1490822, member: 33113"] [B][I]As for regging late yourself -- 5-10 minutes is not a disaster. Regging after the tournament has been running for 30 minutes+ is dopey. Your starting chip stack is far below average by that point[/I][/B].[/quote] I agree with what you've said except for this last statement. I really don't think that regging 30mins. after a tourney starts is dopey at all (unless it's a 1500chip stack turbo obviously.. or probably any 1500chip tourney as I rarely play any of those anyways). If you're below avg. chipstack I don't think that has any huge relevance. One just needs to alter their play according to the size of their chipstack & the other chipstacks on their table. I've actually had my best results this month after taking a badbeat in early levels (ie. getting it in as a 9to1 fav. with a set on flop, vs. overpr.), in one I was left with 239chips & came back & took 1st place (sure I was at a disadvantage obviously.. BUT this is an extreme example.. but also an example of how one just needs to alter their play based on chipstacks). Incidentally, the last CC Fulltilt Freeroll I won, I missed the first hour of play, sat in with 540 chips & ended up taking 1st place. Carbon CC buyin this past week... same thing.. badbeat in early levels, came back & won it. In MSOP5 today, I got it in vs. 30bb stack midlevels with TPTK AQs.. got all of donkeys chips in the middle with him on Q9.. he hits a 9 (2outer) on river, leaving me crippled with <10bb's. (1,150chips)... 4hrs. later I had 20,000+chips sitting in good shape (yah yah yah.. I went out on two more hands... but that's besides the point, lol). MSOP1 was same thing... as was DoubleDeuce (I didn't avoid the donking in early levels.. BUT I did manage to get villain to get all of their chips in as a HUGE DOG...something that is a bit harder to do after 1st break.... although not always.. but for sure not as simple). For those thinking you're at a disadvantage by Late regg'rs joining the tourney, I'd have to strongly agree with Grinder01.... how could you be at a disadvantage unless you just don't have an edge over the field? I can relate to seeing the size of playing fields (# of entrants) & hoping/wanting to make it ITM (I used to actually prefer the $28Kguar. on Fulltilt because it was the only $26mtt that paid out top20% instead of top 10-15% like all the rest). Work on your game, or consider playing the 180's (reg. blinds.... 'not' turbos) and you won't have to worry about the huge fields with late reg. .... bit of a brag hi-jack imo... lol [/QUOTE]
