Im thinking about playing in a live tournament buy in

IM thinkg about playing the nl madness at the cnsino where i lived at in pa. It is a 55$ tournament with a starting chip stack of 40000 chips to start with 12 min blinds starting at 100-100 I had some second thoughts because therer was only 45 people for the first on on monday that someelse when to. MAY QUESTION IS IS IT WORTH ITTO GIVE IT A SHOT AND IF IT IS WHAT TYPE OF GAME PLAN SHOULD I HAVE?

This is almost a hyper-turbo structure. Treat it as such. Personally I wouldn't care for it since the levels are so short but it should be a fun way to spend an afternoon.

find a tournament with longer levels, get more play for your money.. and if you have an advantage you get to play deeper for longer.

gl if you find one.

turbo yes, but super deepstack if you typed that correctly! 400BB first level. 200BB second level...

for the first 24 minutes, I would try to get into 2 and 3 way pots with all SCs and small PPs in position.

after that, 100BB and below, play it like an online turbo. you will have the revelation we all do in our first low buyin (<1k, therefore bad structure) live tournament. online poker is the best
