$250 2 day tournament at my local casino kicks off today. 8 flights. 2 per day. Must last to level 13. Final day on Sunday.

Are there any advantages or disadvamtages as far as which flight. Is wednesday any different than Friday? This ia my first multi day tournament. Any advise is welcome.

IMHO, earlier flights are smaller and more of the players are grinders. You'll play more shorthanded orbits. Later flights will have more casual players per table and larger number of players thus less shorthanded orbits. My preference rank is Fri nite, Sat morn, Sat nite, Fri morn then any other flight.

Agreed with jilly.

Wed Thur flights are all the grinders who play.

Friday nights are solid. But Saturday’s are always where most Recs will hop in. My vote is Saturday.

Saturday evenings is where you’ll get a lot of recs but also a lot of people with deep wallets looking to enter multiple bullets and gamble early on.

As late reg gets closer to closing, people do get tighter not wanting to bust whereas the people with a lot of $ start shoving any two to double or rebuy last second.

100% agree with what everyone else has said here. All points made are spot on!

A thought to ponder tho, if you are used to playing recreational players and can adjust to them well go that direction. But if you have studied many books and advanced material, you may want to take on the tougher players and use these techniques to your advantage. Some people level themselves against recreational players.

Another point if not made already is that the bigger field days Fri and Saturday, are where the biggest stack for day 2 tend to come from. Playing those days can give you a better shot at that also.

Best of luck and win big!

Personally if you can make day 2 on the the first flight, that would be best since you will get a day off. Plus you can play a little more aggressive you are ready to re-enter the next day if you bust.

Good Luck!

Theoretically if there are 2 day-ones....A and B....day 1-B will be a bigger field. Theoretically avg bag on day 1-B will be larger.

So, if you bag on day 1-A as a medium stack then you may be shortish stacked as both fields are combined for day 2.

Also, typically there is much looser play on day 1-A because players are taking more chances and know that if they get knocked out then they can re-enter on day 1-B.

Just food for thought.

Good luck !
