    Hello everyone. Just wanted to get some opinions here. So whenever I satellite into one of the larger tourneys (i.e. Sunday Brawl, or the 750) and I never play em because I think that playing 5 50-50s, ($50 tourneys) thinking that will give me more opportunities to score rather than having to mash through 1 HUGE field. I mean I know if you got 50k in your account it doesn't matter, but if you are dealing with between 5-8k. What do u think would be a better way of building bankroll.....Play the big tourneys when I satellite in, or use the tourney dollars to play a 5-6 smaller tourneys? Or is this just personal preference and I am wasting my writing this? lol

    I typically try and stick to levels I'm more comfortable at in this case the 50 dollar tournaments. but once in a while, if you can handle the variance of playing the huge field majors, you owe it to yourself to take a shot once in a while.

    If you are consistently winning entries, I would stick to your strategy of playing the 50's and occasionally taking a shot. Maybe 1 out of 5 entries take a shot @ the 750 or brawl.

    Ya you gotta take shots every here and there, I had 7 k in my account and played the $150 tourney 4 times just recently, but been on such a horrible bad run that I have just been trying to play only like $50 and below until I stop gettting 1-2 outed!!! PUUKE

    Play only the 26's until you start running better. Easier fields and no strain on the roll, poker never goes away, dont over apply your money when you dont need to.
