It depends on the buy-in.
If it is a freeroll, it is worth starting at any time, because even starting the tournament with 10bb, you can come with a relatively good hand and be able to double to 20bb.
Now if the tournament for paid and for turbo or hyper turbo do not think it is worth it to enter late registration when you enter with less than 20bb.
Unless it is a tournament in which the prize is very worthwhile and worth the risk of entering late.

Always enter From the beginning ... I think it is a good option for the reason of being able to play much more hands and trying to double as quickly as possible. As the minutes go by, the blinds increase and many players will try to steal more from those who have just started. they join the tournament .. when an hour has passed, you go out if we are doing well I will select the hands .. I will play more nid ... and on the contrary if we have not been lucky enough to have won enough chips we will be forced to go with any other than it was allin ... we can avoid that ... I recommend entering from the beginning ... responsibility ... serenity patience ... act of good decisions. Good luck whatever your decision ...
Delayed checking are always bad shoot!
For me all the attempt to make a checking in the game delayed was bad, the number of the tables that I have the chance to play was not enough to try to double...
So make your decision and good luck!!!

My preference is to register early and play from the first hand dealt. Of course, life being life, that doesn't always happen. If for some reason I'm not able to join a tournament from the start, the latest I will usually join a tournament is the third level of late registration.
Depends on many things. I think that it depends on average stack size when you get in. If you are way behind it is probably futile. The other is the blind speed.
As far as time goes. I think much more than half the late reg period is about it.

l like to play from start
but sometimes l late reg minimum with 15bb but this tournament must be under my play level. exsample l normal play 11 $ or 22$ . in these tournament l will play with min 50 bb, but 3$ or 5$ 15 bb is enought.l know that is fishee but l play poker for fun and enjoy it

If you think you have an advantage over the field of players, then you should be in your seat from the start of the tournament, so you can beat up on those weaker players and take all their chips. 😀
But if you feel the opposite, if you think the field of players has more skill than you do, but you still want to take a shot in a higher-level tournament, or maybe you won a seat into a bigger tournament via a satellite... in this case, it might be a wise choice to skip the early levels and enter later when the stacks are shorter and luck becomes a bigger factor than skill... just gamble it up and try to accumulate chips in big bunches that way.
Basically, know your own level, and then adjust based on the level of the tournament you're playing... that's my take on it. For myself, I generally dont play a tournament unless I feel I have at least an equal skill level to the average player in the field, which means I'm usually in my seat from the very first hand, but that's my game and my own philosophy, yours may be completely different from mine. Some love to play the late-reg game and "snipe" their way into a quick cash, those are players who know their Nash Equilibrium push-fold charts perfectly.

I often go to the last registration and play push-fold, this has both pros and cons at high limits I am often beaten on the flop due to the fact that I am a beginner and therefore go to late registration and play a push foul with 20 big blinds for looks at all not bad, but if this is a KO tournament, it's better to go to early registration
Hyper tournamets: everytime is late. 10 min late reg max.
Turbo tournaments: 30 min late reg max
Regular: 1 hour - 1:30 late reg max
If you register at a regular with 1:30 you'll probaly have like 30bbs. Its playable but risky. If you are great playing with small stacks you can register later
In hypers if you register with 20+ min you'll have like 20-15bbs against 40-50bbs stacks.You'll have to wait for some great hands, they'll call you with any pocket pair / AT+ depending on position
Turbo tournaments: 30 min late reg max

i would say that less than 25-20 bb is far too late to join a tournament, however if you want you can take risks and play with only 10 bb thats ok too, the only issue is that your odds of finishing in the money will be lower since you dont have much time to wait for a good hand, and the blinds and antes will eat your stack very fast, so having at least 20 bb left can give you some time to wait for a good hand in order to build your chipstack.
The only Time I would register late for a tournament, is if it is a free-roll, there really is no point if you are already low on chips straight from the off, and you only have two options left, that is shove all-in or fold.
It also stops me from adding on if I am not already in the money ladder, I keep an eye on the prize table and have to balance between, being worth the extra payment to secure a win or not, and if I still cannot make the ladder by adding on I don't bother.
It just does not make sense to throw away more money, on a game I have very little chance of winning, this of course is down to each individual , because I have made a comeback on some occasions, with less than 2 BB and finished on the Final Table.
Call it skill if you like but when it is all-in on every hand you decide to play I prefer to call it luck.
When the fun Stops, STOP!

Obviously, the tournament is better played from the beginning. If, of course, you have an advantage over the field. This will make it possible to build up the stack, and subsequently push the bubble. There are more fish in the beginning, then they fly out, which is also minus EV.
About the participation of the tournament, I always want to start playing from the first minutes of the tournament.And when you come in after 45 minutes of the game, I feel not at ease.The blinds are out and you have to take risks, make raises to raise the chips a little and be in the middle among the players on the chips.mercyscercy said:
