Live tournaments...do you prefer lower or higher buy ins?

Bets

Lower bets cause more affordable and more players.

Double situation. Low buy-ins - a large number of participants, and it is quite difficult to get into ITM. High buy-ins - a lot higher level of the game. And not the fact that you will get to ITM (again). Me please the middle. )))))))

Higher buy in tournaments for me...you get much better poker for your money.

I prefer lower because is what I can afford and I know that if I lose it's all okay. But higher if is live or a big tournament, then it all depends in your mindset and stay calm to not end up losing everything too soon.

I would like to concentrate on the higher ones. To grow above yourself and improve. But while the bankroll does not allow something like this

I would prefer as low as possible or even free but no venue really offers live main event tournaments which are under $150. The casino in my state here in Australia has 3 tournament series a year that have 3 main events that range from $1150 to $2300. Weekly satellites into these tournaments is what I'm going to play which start from $70. There's also the Aussie Millions sats that come up around october which I will play as well. Hopefully coronavirus disappears as soon as possible.

High or low buy ins

My preference of a high buy in would be 200 and up so anything under that I would consider low

Personally I would prefer higher buy-in so there's a smaller pool of entrants. It's much more room for bad beats when you're adding thousands of entrants and have to play more hands to make it into the money.

I was never playing live tournament so for a start i preffer low buy in, just in case to see how it looks like.​

IF i play live tournament i prefer low tournament, because i learn a lot about players and how to play.

I usually choose a low deposit, $ 20 and I try to build up my poker capital. I think it's safer

I prefer a low entry because I have never played live poker tournaments
