Hey guys, I wouldnt mind playing a few small MTTs to break up the cash grind but not sure what tourneys are on stars.
Here's what I would like the tourney to be like

$5 - $10 Buy In
less than 3k entrants so not too many people
I want to play in one or two a week.
Decent amount for winner $2/3k
Ideally it wouldnt be a rebuy/add on as I dont really like them lol

Any Ideas or suggestions for what tourneys to play?

Poker Stars T schedule needs to be your reference here.

What time of day are you looking for? It will be tough to meet both the $2K+ 1st place money and the less than 3K entrants requirements.

cool dak's, I will play everyday from now on hopefully.
Still in the turbo but Im not really a fan of turbo's tbh with you lol
It all happens too fast, it's a different kind of skill needed to play in a turbo IMO.

Well i finished in 810th place in the $2.20 10k turbo. Was at 8600 or so at 1st break and lost a couple key pots. My AK suited went down to a pretty big pot 3 ways :(. And than i made a questionable call with AJ.
Top 810 paid in the tournament so i barely made it lol, $3.76 hopefully my cards will hit next time :)

Yeah, these $5.50 20k guarantee games are pretty sweet. Lots of bad play throughout. I finished 18th in one the other day, and am in the process of cashing another one now.

Well i decided to try some $2.20 180's today, i bubbled the 1st game. AK suited lost to JJ and AJ, JJ ended up holding ko'ing me and other guy. I came in 20th when top 18 paid :(. On my 2nd game i came in 6th for $18 big blind was huge 7k and i only had 16k. So i decided to push All in with 22 and ran into AK and 77 FML. My 3rd game i came in 29th A5<88 he flops trips.
I got knocked out of the $2.20 6 MAX when my AK went down to AJ suited. I had just doubled up off the guy the hand before and put him on a weaker hand than mine. Bust hand below, wouldve been nice if it held :(
