I have unregistered from the Razz. I thought by doing that I could see more clearly whether I wanted to buy back in. And, inevitably, I now think it"s too much to pay to enter.
So, I used $10 x 3 of it on a WCOOP Stud sat and, er, now I"ve got the same problem again, except it"s for $300 + $20 this time. Tomorrow night. I see my old sparring partner GeorgeDanzer is already registered. I"ll prob end up withdrawing from that too in the end.

OK so now you"ve spun up the T$ into another entry. Personally I would play the stud, most of the players out there are terrible at the game and it"s effectively cost you a scratch out of your original Razz roll. There"s much less luck in Stud too and lots of the old school pros believe Stud is the purest form of poker. Seriously go for it, I"ll be on the rail if you do. GL.

I have already unregistered. Doesn"t mean I cant rereg, of course, but I prob won"t. The luck thing is one of the things I like about these limit games. It would take a few bad beats to cause the same devastation to your stack that a single one can have in NLHE. If you"re going well but come unstuck in a hand, you can absorb the hit without it wrecking your whole tournament.
At low buy-ins, it is true that a lot don"t know what they are doing. So you see people misreading their hands, not realising when the game changes (that"s the best one) or calling all the way and folding on seventh. That is much less the case at the higher-cost games. In the Triple-Stud Main last week, I found a very high standard. I don"t just mean that they weren"t doing the dumb stuff, but they were making plays that you never see in the cheap games. I enjoyed that game a lot, but the quality of play was much higher than might be expected.
AJDUK:
Do you feel +EV against the field in any game? Just wondering what your plan will be when you have T$100K? ;D What"s your perfect $300 game that you will dive in and play?
AMRN:
Agree with Andy (yikes, that"s twice today :) ) - I understand the concept of conservatism and being risk averse to some degree, but as they say about the lottery.... you gotta be in it to win it!! Having won the entry fee for a modest amount in a game where you know you have an edge over at least half the field and probably more, you surely have enough justification for taking a punt.
Come on John - give us something to get excited about (again).

I"m in. Two more sats. Massive CL in one and fecked it up badly $4th for $100 of real money though. Got the seat in the other one, with no option to withdraw - just been lobbed straight into the running tournament. Took a pot of some guy called shaundeeb straight away.
