Re: Staking/Make-up question: What to do with lower prize-pools?
Meh sorry I brought it up, but does anyone else not just think it's bad from a psychological stand-point making you play less than your best game?
I obviously understand I have to get out of make-up, and in the end cashing in a smaller event IS the same, yes, but that's not the point I'm trying to make. Tournament poker/variance is pretty tough to learn how to handle to begin with, much less in a situation where you don't stand to gain any immediate benefit even if you do overcome the odds to outlast everyone.
There was a thread on here a while back about paying out a small % of every cash, and this was brought up for the same essential reason.
And yes this is also partially because I see these and think to myself that I could play more in EV online in a day, so maybe they aren't worth my time at all to begin with.
