Depending on the tournament structure, you should keep in mind that it can take many hours of play. You need to be very patient and carefully analyze the structure to see if playing a specific tournament is right for you. Some people prefer playing Sit & Go tournaments, which are faster, or turbo tournaments, which are also a bit quicker.
One of the keys to good poker game is patients ...tournaments can be good training for patients
Sometimes when you just want to feel worse about life, there is nothing better than to just let the misery wash over you in a nice warm swarm of traffic. Breath in that dieselly bouquet.. or bathe in the glorious EMR of your electrical chariot if you are so fortunatemonkeytilter said:
Yes... Generally, that's part of the tournament format, but there are other formats like quick tournaments, turbo, hyper... Sit 'n Go and others that can shorten the playing time, and we also have cash games for those who don't want to spend hours in sessions.
In online poker, we can play several tournaments at the same time, which gives a different perception of how time is spent. But if it's live, we don't have much room to maneuver.

Live ones yes online ones no.. however that’s the edge to players understanding if they wanna do well it’s a buy in plus a 2-10 hour time investment if they wanna do well cash and win the thing. I honestly think about half the players hop in plat Crazy and bust out before registration closes
Hi🙂
That's only true if we can stay in the game. Generally, tournaments often require at least two or three hours of gameplay. There are also some tournaments that may take more than seven or ten hours at times, especially the slow ones. However, the biggest and most famous tournaments may take more than sixteen hours, which means at least two days of gameplay.
However, the tournament prize will always remain the biggest, most valuable, and most prestigious.

It is true . I don't believe many would disagree with this statement . Of course you can play one day of the week when you'll find a lot of free time . Maybe play turbo tournaments , or even hyper turbo . Although the hyper turbos are less of skill , more gamble . But yeah . 7 hours or more , playing tournaments, yeah it's time consuming .
Due to the potential, MTTs are excellent. You only need to buy in once, your risk is limited and one strong run might significantly increase your bankroll. The margins in cash games are smaller and the grind is more consistent. Tournaments are also more strategically enjoyable and less repetitive than constant cash games because they reward patience, ICM knowledge and the ability to adjust to stack sizes.Gaurav123p said:
The good news is that, it is no longer necessary to spend 12 hours playing MTTs. You can choose from a variety of formats, including turbo and hyper turbo tournaments, knockout (PKO) competitions, sit & go MTTs and even short session daily events that are intended to wrap up quickly.
Some can be completed in two to four hours, making them ideal for gamers with little spare time.Yes, lengthy MTTs may be terrible, but there are many tournament choices available in todays online poker environment for regular people with busy schedules.
Yes poker tournaments require more time but I prefer them to grinding the cash tables. I think it's just knowing the reward for my patience can pay off with a big score for me. It doesn't always happen but I have way more fun playing poker tournaments than sitting at a cash table for an hour and not making much money. If time is a factor in keeping you from playing tournaments then I suggest trying turbo tournaments with shorter blind structures and less late registration time.
