Hello!
I want to practice on multitable tournaments, now i dont have a lot of money for start.
But i want to practice in tounaments that are cheap but not so cheap that people play bad and go all in all the time and just play bad, what tournaments are best for beginners to practice on that are cheap but pay of if you get far?

I do know alot more than just the rules of poker, i would say that i am an advanced beginner or amateur :)

Im playing on pokerstars with my username Feltea

I think I am a similar player to you, I am an advanced beginner, so I can not advise you as an experienced player but I can tell you that I fully understand you and I can tell you what I was doing. I've played satellites for $1.5- $2.5 for tournament of $15 + buy-ins. I had success with satellites and then I'm finished twice in the money in these tournaments.
Another thing you can try on PokerStars is to play a satellite that takes place two and a half hours before the main tournament and if you conquer the ticket immediately unsubscribe from the tournament and that way you get a tournament money worth that buy-in.
Later, with that money you can try playing small buy-ins. For example, if ticket is worth $16.50 with that money you can play 3x$5.50 Bounty Builder with prize pool of $20.000.
The important thing is that the tournament does not start, because then you'll automatically be logged in and you will not be able to get out, then you'll have to play.

You will find fish at all levels but for a small BR i would suggest playing the .25 90 man tourneys. The longer blind levels allow you to spot the fish and punish them with good hands, and also allow them to get KO'd with first 4 lvls. by the time you get down to about 45 left... (1 hour if that) the play gets a little more normal..

Why do I suggest you this with satellite and tournament money. The number of participants is around 400-500 and usually reached some 30-45 tickets to be shared. So you need to finish in first 30 to 45 place, depending of ticket number that will be shared. Starting stack is 10.000 and level is 5min, so you have a lot of time for normal play. It is the same like SnG but for my perspective is much better then SnG because you can earn $16.50 if you finish on 40th place. I am not sure how much you will make if you play SnG $1.50 with 360 player and finished at 40th place, you can check that and compare.
Only problem, if it is at all, that you can not take that money, you have to play with it. But, on my way you will make enough to have for playing 2 or 3 big buy-in tournaments where you will find player who play normally compared with freerolls and small buy-ins.

I wanted to edit my post and write something more but I got message that the administrator has specified that I can only edit messages for 30 minutes after I posted. So this is a continuation bet on my previous post :)

Let's say there will be 400 players and each will pay $1.50+fee of $0.15 so that will be 400x$1.50=$600. This $600 divide with the price of ticket of $16.50 you will get 36 ticket to be shared and 37-38th place will get $3.

About the game.
At the start you will find some crazy players but how field get reduced then really good game beginning. Specially for the bubble time, is the same game like in big tournaments. The major problem after game like this is that you must play tournament immediately after you finished that satellites and start from very beginning new big tournament. That's why is very important to have a time to unregistered from the tournament that you played satellites for. This kind of satellites with those number of participant last around 2h-2h15min. That is reason why I said to look for satellites which starts 2,5h before big tournament.

I don't agree with that i think when you register on some satelite(doesn't matter which buy-in or when tournaments start) you get a automatic message you can't unregister if you win a ticket and use ticket another day or week you must play on that tournament or if you unregister yoур ticket will loosing.I will check that with unregister and take a money for that but i think thats not possible.
And satelites tournaments you can rebuy and add-on thats make a very agresive game becose you can rebuy unlimited and fish-players try every hand.

I suggest you just play your best game. Then, analyze the distribution of bad or strange. And that play, it's just your preference. I like to play MTT. But already the limit should be selected on the bankroll and the ability to show your best A game
