Tournaments without or with short late registration(10 min)

[Rmi]

For those who know how to play short, it is better with late registration because it also helps to clear the tables of bad players who may be lucky

freerolls are generally no late registration. I think the sites probably consider they make more money with late registrations.

Well, that's their business model. I don't like LR and try to avoid very long tournaments, which means that I get to play only a few of them.

Its easier to beat bad players than to beat good players, so this statement makes no sense at all. In fact having as much time as possible to play with bad players is one of the main reasons to NOT register late.

On Demand SnGs on pokerstars have 25 mins of late registration, if they are turbos. On ACR its 30 minutes + breaks, if a break fall within the late registration period.

I don't like late REQ but its part of the game today. I just wish they were not so long. Some of them Are just so unnecessary in my opinion,'' No reason a late REG is more than 1/2 an hour.

Why do the do it? greed of the site and players to a degree. Sited do it to make more money but lets be honest on the player side. How many would lose and see a $1.10 tournament with a really low or no guaranty on it. Many would not play. Lets say we join the tournament, and it only has 80 players in it. 1st place pays something like $15.00. Many people would complain it's so small it's not worth playing.

If the Casino love long late registration , and the players don't like it - then the Casino should listen to the players, before they ruin the online pokergame with all their tricks to keep us on the tables 4ever

More and more poker rooms are making poker look like a casino in order to attract more people,

Good question. Maybe the later reg makes more money for the site.

Late registration, until a starting stack is only 10-15BB, is an excellent money machine for poker sites. The reason is, the shorter a stack people enter with, the less time it will take on average, before they either bust or bust someone else. So its not only, that more people play each individual tournament creating a larger price pool and more rake. Its also and just as importantly, that people can play more tournaments during a session. Say someone show up 15-20 minutes, before late registration end. Since they enter with a short stack, they are soon going to be all-in, and its pretty easy to fire 2-4 bullets during those last 15-20 minutes.
