Each one chooses the modality that he/she likes the most and also that he/she can have more time, I particularly like to play in CASH in ggpoker and rooms also like 888poker and partypoker.

it is best for the players to know what they want to play and make some ideas, to choose which games are the best to play for everyone. In this way, they no longer play chaotically or by chance and focus on something solid , where they can try to win as often as possible.

yesterday i was lucky enough to play a 11 dollar entry fee tournament in wpt global, i got 5th place, it was a great tournament, although it lasted more than 2 hours but it was worth it.

I had tournaments of 7 hours and few minutes, but at stakes of 1.10, 2.20 and rarely at 3.30 dollars or more. When the buy-in is higher, you can play a lot for a final table, if there are many players in the tournament. You always have to be prepared for tournaments...

that good friend, the tournaments usually last a long time, that's why you have to have a lot of patience and not get lost for it, it is also a great opportunity to go far and win big prizes depending on the level.

It will depend on each player, most of them play their tournaments on weekends because there is more free time to do more things, poker is becoming more and more beautiful and more when you are on a good streak.

Hi geseco12, I think that in this matter we have to consider the moment in the history of each player and his skill in the game. When I begun to play, I only play free tournament to learn and make some bankroll. Then I play to much s&g, but never be comfort in cash.
I love sports, and I like tournament poker as a sport. Where you can fight in the same conditions among 10,000 people, and even more. And being the best among a huge number of people is no longer passion, but work.

yes, it's nice to play and catch final tables in tournaments with thousands of players. This is possible at tournaments in large poker rooms. The small ones have weaker tournaments, but we can win money there too.
