Well I don't mind short stack play so I have absolutely done that plenty of times... it does save time in the early levels when not much is happening, cons are you can end up short stacked but it doesn't bother me too much. I don't think it's optimal play though but a lot of sites have insanely long entry/rebuy periods. I mainly stick to smaller tourneys or cash games now though which I like much better anyway!

I think this strategy is primarily designed for bingo players. It can certainly give a positive result at a distance, but to a greater extent, this result will simply depend on your luck.

Yes, it may be a good strategy to register for the tournament at the very end of registration, you will be less tired than other players, but you will immediately have to win several all-in to play normally. It's not a bad idea to save your time, I won a couple of all-in, so we play on, no, well, it means next time.

I have done both - playing from start or registering during the last minute of late registration.
Both has pros and cons. Quite a few times when starting from beginning, I stack up quite a bit but some bad hands/plays and I'm around starting stack again at the end of late reg. 😅
When the fields aren't that large, you often need just need one double up at the end of late reg and you're back in the game.

If it is a KO-tourney, I tend to register early to have more opportunities to collect some bounties.
Else I prefer a late reg, even I know a lot of luck is needed to survive.
Once I registerd for a sunday million in the last second, and the first pockets which were dealt to me was KK. Went Allin and got busted...

Variance will be lower in short stacks, especially if your deep opponents don't make the right adjustments to their play.Almost all poker rooms allow late registration, and in some cases, very late registration. So, you should worry not only about your strategy at the table, but also about when to sit down at the table.

I agree! Some of these tournaments are so long that cutting an hour to an hour and a half off the front end can make a difference in how much stamina you have left when it really matters later in the tournament.

If you are comfortable playing with short stack and know what you are doing then it's fine, it's a bit difficult because you basically need to win a couple of all ins and double up, in order to relax, because the blind are biting at that point

I advise you to read more about this strategy if you plan to register late for the tournament. It is much easier to get into the prize zone than to the final table. Risk is a noble thing. A short stack does not allow you to make mistakes.

I dont mind jumping in late on short stacks. I always like to look at the top 25 stacks or so depending how far it pays out. To make sure I'm not way behind. This is if I just happened to be late. I wouldn't use it as a strategy.

As I understand it, the essence of this strategy is to register in the tournament a few minutes before the end of late registration, and go all-in several times with any cards. I think this can be a good option for those who are very limited in time.

Its not about going all in with any cards.
It's about knowing push/fold ranges and equity spots from different positions and finding a good spot to exploit them.

The maximum late registration strategy in poker is a popular tactic in poker tournaments where players register just before the registration period closes. This strategy is based on the idea that players who register late can benefit from the ICM Independent Chip Model), which calculates the expected value of a player's chips based on their position in the tournament. However, it is important to note that late registration can also have drawbacks, as it can put players at a disadvantage in terms of experience and knowledge of tournament dynamics.

I have opinions for and against this strategy.
It's a great strategy to save time and play more comfortably if you play well in the tournament itself and have an advantage over the field.
But my preference is to start at the beginning and gather information about the players and use it in the futur
