Is it really worth play in the sunday 250,000 tournament when there is 30,000 players playing.I mean whats the odds on winning.Is it better to stay on the 5,000.00 tournaments with 2,000 players etc.
Would you spend $11 on the lottery in order to win $24,000? Most people wouldn't, so why do it for that tournament? Cause that's basically what is it. I suppose if you could satellite into it for FPPs or $2.20 it wouldn't be bad idea.
No offense, but since when are we comparing poker to the lottery?
It's a game of skill, no?
Although, you do need some luck to go deep into this kind of tournament,
all you can do is play your best game and hope things go your way.
Playing huge tourneys like that is comparable to playing the lottery or bingo. Even Ivey et al need some luck. Even if you only ever get them in with the best hand if the poker gods are against you and the donks are hot you're gonna struggle.
No-one is suggesting poker isn't a game of skill, but you do need some luck too. Especially to wade through a field of 30000.
That wouldn't stop me playing it though. Someone has to win it, why not me or you?

think Im gonna try to make secondary income playing at pokerstars.Im gonna do this by playing sit and gos.Many say you may lose your whole bankroll at ring games with AA and lose on the flop with a guy who has 1010 and hits the other ten on the flop.sit and gos its only a buy in and thats all you lose.does anyone agree with this and also are there many out there at pokerstars making a living playing as a us citizen.
