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.

Yeah....your plan sounds terrible. Learn some BR mgmt, then put the money online and prove that you're a winning player before trying larger live tourneys.

Obv $500 is a big deal to you....it's ridiculously dumb to attempt to play a satellite into a bigger tourney. You're dead money- they'll eat you alive.

And....if $500 is a big deal- why not play <$20 buyin tourneys online. I've cashed for over $5k from a single $20 tourney. If $500 is big to you, then $5k will be huge to you.
