Am I playing wrong level

[jimmym]

look am not gonna slate any advice given, but I feel cash game players dont have the same mindset and skill to take down a multi tourny, Yes you are successfull at the level you play and prove that with data $ ect, But a good multi tourny player will win in the long run and perhaps show a greater return for the initial outlay than a moderate cash player.

I mean a £100 outlay on a few sites in a multi can win 50k now were do we see that with cash palyers.

This should rile a few.

hehe thats the thing, ic onsider myself a tourney player

And a $100 outlay intoa tourney...to win $50k youd need to beat nearly 2,000 ppl. Good luck doing that over 30 attempts

I think you should take the shots like I said in 1st place but to think that you are going to go deep right away is just silly. Sure you could be like eejit and crack a big one but the odds of that are very very VERY slim. Now im not saying you are not a great player but in tournaments luck plays a big factor and it might just not be a real lucky week for you.

to say im going to put 1/10th of my bankroll in this tourney because I know I will cash, well that is just silly. I say if you have 3k and want to throw 100 in a tourney then well that is very reasonable but if your bankroll is 3k and you want to buy into a $1,500 well that is just silly.


whatever you do good luck.

I think you should do what you do best...

If playing tournaments is your thing, then do it... dont let anyone else tell you what to do. You look like a very solid tournament player who is one big score away from having a legit bankroll. You should just hit the Sunday million satellites IMO.

Play the 3+ rebuys, those are really easy. Also the $11 DS to the sunday million... those are the two easiest ways to qualify for the big one IMO.

Also maybe play some of the WSOP sats as well if your really feeling good and wanting to try your luck in vegas.

For a $1 outlay, you can win $300 million when the Powerball jackpot gets big enough. Screw poker - play the lottery!!!

Hopefully you see my point here. If not, no worries. But any serious poker player (even most so-called tourney experts) will agree that cash games are where the (consistent) money is at. A lot of people prefer tourney play, and that's fine.... but don't think you're good enough to not need a proper bankroll. Thinking you can outplay your opponents is one thing, but thinking you can outplay short term variance (and luck) is just silly.
