Anyone play poker base on how late the buy in is relative to how close you are in the money?
Lets assume some freeroll games are super late buy in. You can literally just buy-in and have 1.5X BB stack but you will be ITM before an orbit goes around. So if you just slow play, tank every last bit you will auto lock in a profit. This is the extreme of case but it kind of shows late buy in has an advantage. (ACR penny $10K)
If you are sub average player. If you are below average, playing 200bb deep you might be at a disadvantage. But if you buy in late you are playing push shove. No, floating the flop. No check raising. Just shove or fold. This plays really well if you are below average. And as the blinds gets bigger, even the best players are stuck to push folding if they end up under 10BB.
Also, you get the advantage of starting fresh. A big MTT on line can last 10 hours plus. It is a mental marathon. Reducing the fatigue by shorting it can give you a competitive edge. Remember it only take 5 minute of tilt to end your game.
What are your thoughts? Do you preform better if you late buy in or early buy in?
