It all depends on the blind levels versus starting stack for me. If the blinds are 1,000-2,000, and starting stack is 5,000, i'm not getting in, as your basically in a hyper turny position, pretty much all in or fold first round. If the blinds are low, 250-500, and 5,000 starting stack, i will look at how many players are still in, if at least half are still in, i'll go for it. If only a third still in, and chip leader has a huge stack, i'm out. Some players will jump in a micro buy in turny late and go berserk for a few
hands trying to get a donk stack, as i refer to it, either donking it up 5-8 times or losing 4-5 bucks trying it. Two stages of madness i say, the beginning and the period just before late registration ends.
