Yesterday I had mentioned that I was registering late for tournaments. Last night I had a little more time to play and mixed it up. I late registered for 3 tournaments and started at the beginning on 3 tournaments. I had about the same results 2 final tables, 2 other cashes, and 2 close but not cashes.
I won the same tournament that I took 2nd in the night before. I entered this one as it began both nights. Looking at my results I realized I am min cashing the games that I late register in. Although I have had a couple good runs in the nightly guarantees and lost in the final few tables the last 2 nights in at least 1 of the games.
If the registration period is only an hour I will not late register. If it is 3 1/2 hours I will. By that point I am close to min cashing and with some luck can make a deep run.
With the new tournament structures I have avoided the 5.50 tournaments. Although a rebuy event like the one above is essentially a 6.20 buy in as I do my initial rebuy and add on. If I see a 5.50 game that I cannot pass up, I will register.
I will play this tournament quite a bit and try to find some similar tournament structures, as this one seems to treat me well. There were only 38 runners, a 1 hour late registration, and 10 minute blind levels.
There seems to be a lot better tournament selection throughout the evening. There are a couple games I have been playing and not cashing in the last couple nights that I think are beatable. I will give them a few more tries and if I don't start cashing once in a while I will find alternatives.
I do need to stick with tournaments. I have dabbled in heads up sng's and NL cash. I lose more than I win in those. If I don't have time for tournaments, I may play a few games, but I won't load up 6 tables at a time. They will be treated as a training exercise as they both help to prepare me for tournament play. I feel that I have a pretty good edge when I reach the final table with top 5 in chips.
