Default Re: Looking to step up my game and play in some \"bigger\" Live MTT\'s

No offense but you sound like you're bad.

Read TOP and like HOH and play micros/small stakes online. If you become successful at that you will be +EV in pretty much any live tourney.

^^This is always good advice for someone relatively new.

First of all get a Windows XP emulator for your mac, then you can launch XP inside of your MAC OS X and use any windows app u like.

Second play a few of the Deep Stack tournies on Poker Stars, they have 5000 chips to start, 30min blinds, and a good structure (muuuuuch slower than the normal 15min/3000chip/guaranteed tournies).

However having said that the normal structure for guranteed tournies on stars / double stack tournies on ftp are really pretty good IMO, however you wont be rolled properly to get going in any of these except maybe the $11@6p on PS...

As far as live tournies, all the local casinos are prolly not gonna have structures that are even close to online. For instance we have a local tourney at harrahs (kc) that is a $40 buyin with a cap of 40 ppl blinds 15min and 6 places paid and the worst part... 1500chips starting at 25/50... unless you goto some WSOP-C/WPT/big series you're not gonna find anything decent.
