Message: [QUOTE="1984, post: 6237281, member: 473733"] As i posted in your other topic, lets comment here, too. First of all - like most of us - don't play them regularly - always ready for card dead, variance f*ckery for that one higher stakes tourney (what anyway often happens if i play a bit higher level) -, so obviously tried to play them tighter - except one from the several, what i clearly messed up, i wasnt in poker mood, did stupid moves, relegated fast - i could play like that. I played the first in this year after 8-10 years off from the 100$+ BI tourneys, so wanted to reach ITM, like always as first target. In ITM bubble i could triple up my stack with preflop allin with AKs, but the pusher had a bit higher stack than me - i had top 20 stack around 150 paid places -, so i fold it preflop for ITM. Any other tourneys what i regularly play, i don't care AKs is a call. Like this i relegated on the 3rd, or 4th ladder instead of reaching at least last 2-4 tables..... I don't think so, i would play well. Micro, low levels are a bit (very) different + the variance. If i couldnt get tickets to higher BI tourneys through satties for cheap, i never would play them. But yes, play more tight, and try to reach ITM, usually i did it as a short stack, tried to come back, but never really could, so yes reaching the ITM is more important, than take much higher risk to go as deep as i can, meantime paralelly deal with higher chance to relegate early phase, before money.... And i don't know the mindset, if someone financially totally independent, and able to play 100-1000$ tourneys regularly without stressing out the money part, how i can play micros, lows..... + as i never played them regularly, have no sample about it... dont know at all the field in any rooms on that level... Basically you wrote all the things why your question cannot be answered by most of us: i dont know how is to be financially in that state, nor emotionally, mentally. if we talk about generally a single tourney, obviously not, i wouldnt play okay. just wrote an example above. on my regular level, i can afford that a 3 way preflop allin lost, simply move on, next time i will win that hand and go deep, but on a 100x BI, everything is different. It is hard, not possible to compare to anything, nor jobs, sports, because it is about money, and money is the god in this world and most of us slaves for the money, so obviously that effects mental, emotional state if you play 100 times higher BIs. Anyway - exactly because i play rarely on that level -, choose the smallest field tourneys, never over 1k regs, a bit reduce the variance, playing higher fields pointless, then instead of playing satties for high BI, high field tourneys, i would rather buy lottery tickets - both same, thrown off money... But the main point, never would play them regularly, and play once a 1k-10k$ tourney sounds waste of time and money.... and i am not that guy who plays it for participation, fun only - even if nowadays more like that, still not entirely like that -, so pointless to give a shot. How i wrote, if i want to gambe - play a single high stake, high field tourney is nothing else just pure gambling -, then i buy lottery tickets, or play roulette... not poker... [/QUOTE]
