Late reg or Early reg?

[Roobz75]

Depends on the tournament.
I would probably late register if there was a large time window for register and you can buy more chips during the game.

From my experience, a game like this has a lot of early bingo players, so I let them knock each other out in the first 20min reg or so, then there's less silly players in the game.

Depende do torneio.
Eu provavelmente faria o registro tardio se houvesse um grande intervalo de tempo para registro e você pudesse comprar mais fichas durante o jogo.

Na minha experiência, um jogo como esse tem muitos jogadores de bingo no começo, então eu deixo eles eliminarem uns aos outros nos primeiros 20 minutos ou mais, depois há menos jogadores bobos no jogo.

I agree, even more so if the re-entries were cheap MT give ALL Win with speculative hands just to double

I prefer early registration.

I prefer the early registrations- for regular tournaments because my table image and the reads on my opponents will be valuable , sometimes in hyper MTTS I may register with 15bbs because a double up is all you need!

Hey everyone.
First post here, so apologies if this has been asked a million times.
I’ve found myself doing a lot better in satellites registering early, and cashing a lot more in tournaments registering late.
Do you prefer early or late registration and why?

Thanks all.
Keep Studying. Keep Grinding. Have Fun.

early game has cheaper chips meaning, it won't hurt if you do early mistakes. Also, you have lots more maniacs at the beginning of the tournament, so having a good strategy can capitalize you well for mid game!

I never register if the average stack is 30% higher than initial stack.

Sometimes I join 45 min. Before end. And 20 min. Before time playing extremely lose aggressive and rebuy until my stack is at least average or above. As soon as I hit stack target I start playing tight again. ( mystery bounty where after registration the bounty starts) with rebuys en addon join at the beginning. Building a large stack as fast as possible. Than after addon. Tight and solid hands.

I prefer early reg, but will register late. I usually look at the chip leaders to see how far behind I would be. I don't like entering if there are multiple players above 2x starting stack.

You want to play hands with fish, fish are usually the first to be knocked out.

In some tourneys it might make sense to register late, but most of the time you are missing out on a valuable opportunity to accumulate chips when the worst players are still in the game.

Its weird all the "pro" late reg guys talk about icm and short stack strategy, but you never see them in the short stack format games. If short stack format is your forte -maybe play the hypers and maximize your winnings instead of watching tourney lobbies.

You probably shouldn't be playing hypers unless you have a very strong understanding of short stack and ICM play or hate money.

I'm a cash game player, I don't study MTTs, which is why I play free CC events. Also I do as you say, rely on my deep stack prowess from my cash game experience and try and accumulate chips early... With that said, I openly acknowledge it's a poor strategy because of how much EV and real world $ it loses down the stretch from not having the short stack skills I recommended MTT players work on.

Also there's "Fish" at every blind level and ICM punts are the most expensive mistakes you can make in poker. I believe Kristen Foxen's wsop main event FT punt was worth somewhere around $250,000 in ICM value for a $10,500 buy in Tournament... Is it possible that you're the fish in short stack and in ICM situations but you don't want to acknowledge it?

The advice I gave is literally how to maximize your hourly which is all that matters to people who want to get the most out of their time at the poker table and is echoed by numerous poker pros not just people who are "pro" late reg in a thread.

What you actually mean is you LIKE to reg at the start of MTTs because you find it more enjoyable at the cost of a lower hourly and being outclassed by players who focus on study short stack and ICM play down the stretch as most of the money is given out at the FT which you need a strong short stack and ICM game to reach with any regularity.


Please find me a online MTT pro that says reg every MTT from the start and ICM shouldn't be a priority in your study...

Meanwhile I'll take the advice of the numerous online MTT pros I talk to in discord that say short stack and ICM knowledge are essential cornerstones of their game.

I prefer only early reg and i hate late reg , because of lot of people can play and its a smaller chance to get in the money prize.
