Hello again all.
When you're getting in a tournament with thousands of participates is it purely a luck based game? I'm not disputing that poker is a skill but these large tournaments with many participants seem quite luck based. This is based on results i'v seen on playing who win or get to the final table.
When i check their stats, it's this one tournament that actually give them a positive ROI and iv seen someone winning 5k in a 1dollar by in with only a profit long term of around 500dollars. This must mean that they have blown away 4,500 grand on tournaments previously and they are ITM like only 5% of the time.
This leads me to the conclusion that actually large field tournaments are actually just a breeding ground for bad playing who hope and in many cases do get lucky to finish on the final table.
Does anyone know of anyone who actually consistently does well with thousands of participators? If not, then would you say these large field tournaments are just a waste of money if you are a tight player who trys to actually play poker properly? Meaning you haven't really got a cat in hells chance of performing well enough ?
If that is the case then what sort of field sizes do you recommend in MTT to consistently make a long term profit? I seem to do ok at around 200-500 participants..
Your views and thoughts would br great, many thanks.
