Just recently I heard a discussion between two poker streamers about whether it is necessary to enter the game from the very beginning and what are the benefits of registering early !!! One of them claimed that there are a lot of weak players at the beginning and this is a good opportunity to increase the number of chips, and the other said that there is no point in registering early and it is a waste of time, because even if you manage to increase your stake by 2-5 times, it is not will give you a great advantage in the future, and a lot of time and effort will be spent on the game and he recommended entering the game from about 80-60 bb !!! 80-60 bb - quite comfortable and enough chips for maneuvers !!! I would like to note that we were talking about tournaments without awards for knocking out !!!
Personally, my opinion is that both streamers are right and the difference is only in the style of the game and in the number of tables you play !!! For example, if you play a lot of tables, then it's better to enter the game a little later !!!
