What are some other types of poker tournaments that are more profitable for gamblers?

Those dumb negative freeroll tournaments are a sucker’s bet, ya hear? The fields gonna be swarming with sharks tryin’ to turn a quick profit and the payouts sure ain’t gonna get no better. No, if you’re lookin’ to win big at the tables, you gotta find yourself some smaller tournaments with soft fields and generous prize pools.

Online satellites, now those are the holy grail. See, you can buy into some tiny $5 or $10 satellite and if luck’s on your side, you’re playing in a $1500 or $5000 main event for nada. I’ve seen guys turn $20 into a $50K prize. The charities love you for it too!

Local card rooms are where the action’s at. These little holes-in-the-wall tournaments might only have 30-50 players but with a $200-$500 buy-in, you can clean up. People see it as their weekly fix, so they’re usually loose and aggressive. And they’re used to giving away 2/3 of the pot as prizes, plus add-ons and shit.

You want the best odds though, wait till thevery last second to register. Half the field’s already bailed by then, and even better, the remaining donkeys think it’s their “chance” at an easy score. Not like winning’s guaranteed, but your money’ll definitely go further.

Short deck games too, genius move if you ask me. So many players avoid ‘em like the plague, even though the payouts are sick. Hundreds of dollars just to finish in the top 10. And with smaller fields, you get more attention from the dealers and other players.

Just stay away from those big online tournaments and casino events. Fields of thousands, you’ll get lost in the sauce. And they only want to keep a few hundred grand for themselves as profit at most. No way for the average Joe to win.

In the end, you find those small pots, put the odds in your favor any way you can, add some luck to the mix, and you’ll build up your stack like it’s going out of style. While the fish are shrieking about their “bad beats”, you’ll be counting your chips with a smile!

While profitability in poker tournaments can vary depending on various factors, here are some types of poker tournaments that are often considered more profitable for gamblers:

Deep Stack Tournaments: In deep stack tournaments, players start with a larger stack of chips compared to the blinds. This allows for more post-flop play and strategic decision-making, giving skilled players an opportunity to leverage their skills and potentially make profitable plays.

 Freeroll Tournaments: Freeroll tournaments are essentially free to enter, with no buy-in required. They often have smaller prize pools but can present a profitable opportunity since you have the chance to win real money without any investment. These tournaments tend to attract a larger number of recreational players, which can be advantageous for skilled players.
