Any interest in an article on tournaments?

I have some time before WSOP starts and writing an article on tournaments is something i've wanted to do for a while now, sort of a way to give back to community and to see if i am any good at it. If there's any interest in this respond here with what you would like to read about! I don't know how to add a poll b/c I suck at liquid pokering. Hope this isn't a super fail!!

I read the title and figured it was some clueless lowstakes mofo FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

but you should definitely write one. GOGOGOGO

Write one for live donkaments preferibly.

yeah please do an article
also i can do the pool for you ?


Poll: Should BigRed do an article on tournaments ?
(Vote): yeah
(Vote): no
(Vote): dont rly care

would like to read as i am a total donkafish

No we dont want free advices from a solid player, go away

Yes, please. I would def. read it and try to profit whenever I play some low buyin weekly promo donkaments or w/e.

give advice how to seek improvements >.<

And here I was, always thinking that tournament poker was always about shallow stakes and shoving ranges...

Btw, about the article, yes please.

yay

yes please

id deffo read it

write the article
make a website
charge everyone 5$ to read it

boo yeah.

ok cool this has a lot of interest, I think i'm just going to write kind of an overall tournament strategy article that discusses a few of the important differences between mtt's and cash games and SNG's. (like stack sizes, how to play diff. stages of the tournament pre ante and post ante, playing vs regs and playing vs randoms, changing gears, and just for fun a little bit of insight on how much online tournaments have changed in the last couple of years due to the availability of information.. like this article!!)

I'll be writing it in the next couple of days.

weeee

give me a deepstacked, deep structured tourney guide, for the WSOP

weeeee :D

How to play early levels to best exploit the big fielded tournaments and get the most from the fish while they still have chips. I. e. what type of image u want etc.

Also, article on how to exploit being on a table that is suppossed to break very early, where u dont need a solid image for later.

legit excited for this!

At what point does a tournament field become too big? (i.e.becomes a crapshoot like the ME)

I don't think they can get too big, more people = more equity. But bigger fields do mean lots more variance, and theoretically you can play a lifetime of live mtt's and not know what your true ROI is . Tournaments are sick.

sounds very good.

a section on "the difference in rebuy toruneys" would be great as well

I can write articles.......
but they are going to be too short
but you can adjust it right

SHIP ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I think people tend to underestimate the true effect variance has on your actual earn. Even with a good ROI, at a certain point the large fields jacks up your variance to a point where you will never see your earnings realized even with multiple lifetimes of play. There are of course all sorts of considerations like time investment (which also gets jacked up a lot especially with live play) that make it tough to really say, but I suspect the point at which a field becomes "too big" to be an efficient use of money/time/mental power is considerably lower than it looks.
