I appreciatte your help ... u should know that ... i sent u a PM about it 3 weeks or so ago and u never responded .... didn’t think u wanted to talk about it anymore ... glad i was wrong as i would love to talk to u about it ... i will take advice and talk to anyone about it ...

I’m LEARNING ... and you know way more about this than me ...

I watch the youtube video’s for many reasons ... for now they teach me and if i take this seriously i will continue so i know what there telling there viewers .... i watched 3 or 4 of them every week and theres one i really like ... he’s good ... he taught me a lot and he posts his results every week and he does good ... the others I learn from but don’t necessarily agree with there football logic ... one of them has GREAT TOOLS ... i’m Gonna check them out for free for a week and then spend 5 for another week ... c if i like them ...

I am using every resource at my disposal to learn as much as i can .. and theres a lot to this as u well know ...

I would love to see if its feasible to do as u suggested ... like u say the big tourny’s are a lotto ticket ... well if u can consistently make 100 bucks a week u can buy 5 lottos tickets and pick a core game and stack it with different players 5 times going outside with a few other players ...

If u can constantly make 200 a week u can buy 10 lotto tickets ...

I have no clue if its feasible ... but i want to take this year and learn ... and i will use every resources available to me ...

If its not feasible .. i’ll Do like u do ... and make a little money and have a ball talking football with HOPEFULLY U ...

Hopefully we can keep talking and u can help me and vice versa .... i value your football knowledge and u know this better than me ... hopefully u value my football knowledge at least somewhat ...

Thanks for the injury update ... thumbsup

I was in NYC all week and didn’t do anything and it showed ... my scores went way down ...

Was it a low scoring week in general? .... i thought it may have been but the Fantasy league scores seem to be right on track ...

I had my best week win wise with my worst week of scores ...

I won $ in all 5 of my dk contests with some really low scores ....

In fanball i won money in 2 of 4 contests with really really bad scores ...

I’m glad i won money but right now improving my scores at least a little each week is whats most important .. this week i did none of my prep was ill prepared and the soores reflected it ...

I’ll be back later to show u my lineups and what contests they were in to see what u may have done different and why ...

Thanks for the congrats ... c u next week ... thumbsup

I have never won big money in a Tournament. I started out playing them because they were the most popular. I've won a few bucks here and there, but never anything big.

I play about one money tourney a week and all the free ones.

I played 10 smaller contests yesterday and ended up about $40 ahead. Not much, but I like turning a profit.

I mentioned about creating your own unique lineups that don't go w/all the dudes who are handing out advice. I typically either get first or last. LOL. I am rarely right in the middle.

How about you try this. Make one lineup based on your own findings, such as playing guys who are in favorable match-ups, guys who are hot, guys who might play more due to other injuries, weather, home/road, coming off a bye, coming off of a short week or long week, etc. Then, do all that other stuff you do and follow the advice of those guys. Compare your lineups after the week is over and see which one does better.

Of course, you'll have to do it for awhile and not make a determination after just one week.

I had different lineups, but here is one of them:

QB: Ben. I took him because I thought the game was going to be a shootout and they were at home in a must win game. Btw---I took Matty Ice in another league.

RB: I took Connor from Pit and TJ Yeldon from Jax. Atlanta's D is banged up and I thought Conner would score some TDs in a high scoring game. I took Yeldon because Fornette was out and KC's defense hasn't been very good. Yeldon can run and catch. Plus, it comes down to money. LOL


WR: I had AB [see Ben's explanation.] Sanu for the same reasons...high scoring and cost. And Marquez Valdes-Scantling because GB's receivers were banged-up and he was dirt cheap.

TE: Ertz because he is Wentz's go to guy.

Flex: Lindsay, the RB from Denver because I think he is explosive and that is what I could afford. I always take my flex guy last. I try and save money for someone decent. For example, I had OBJ and Gurley in two other contests.

Defense: I had the Bengals because I thought they could force some turnovers.

Btw-----------I did get the referral bonus. Thanks!

j/c:

Early Week 5 thoughts:

I'm hoping to find another Valdez-Scantling this week for cash games and it might be Josh Reynolds. Cooks and Kupp are in concussion protocol and, if out, he could be seeing a ton of action. Will Fuller might be out too so someone like Keke Coutee could be interesting.

Let this soak in....Todd Gurley is $10K on DK. Yikes. Still, I'm going to consider him for cash if I can fit him in. I would need 30 points from him and he consistently gets there. The problem is, however, that it limits potential upside at that price. That said, with two of their top WRs possibly out, Gurley might get some more targets in the passing game, and those 1pt per reception add up. Finally, I believe he is leading all RBs with over 6 redzone rush attempts a game. Second in the NFL I belive is Mixon at 3.3 a game.

Speaking of Mixon, in Cincinnati, if one of their two RBs is out, the other gets nearly all the snaps. If true again this week, I like me some Mixon who is also in a high implied game total at 53.

I will probably have a ton of players in the TB- ATL game in both tournaments and cash with the 57 implied game total. Julio Jones is really cheap for being a top WR. It'll be interesting to see who may be some of the lower-owned players in this game. Guys like Hooper & Sanu intrigue me. Sanu is a cash consideration for me as well. An early guess is Matt Ryan might be the highest owned QB this week. TB's DVP vs Quarterbacks is almost 50% higher in allowed points than the average, and again, in the highest implied game total so far.

I will strongly consider Njoku in cash. Mayfield is looking to him a ton and is still under $4K. In a game where the Browns are the underdogs and may need to pass, Njoku can get some run. We wouldn't even need to rely on TDs at his price...just a handful of receptions and yards.

Cash game options at this point (will most likely change):

QB- Mayfield, Winston, Wilson (maybe)
RB- Gurley, Mixon, Howard, McCaffery, Gordon
WR- Coutee (only if injuries), Sanu, Reynolds (only if injuries), Boyd, Enunwa, Jones, Brown, Green
TE- Njoku, Hooper, Brate, McDonald
DEF- Bears, Vikings, Texans, Rams, Browns

I'm trying to fit Julio Jones in cash, not Sanu. I said Sanu earlier. The situation is too good for Jones.


Consider Chester Rodgers.

Hmmmm..............this is hard because I don't have the prices in front of me.

Dalton: He could be a good choice because the Steeler's secondary is poor and Ben should put points up, meaning that Cinci will have to keep up.

I played in that big free tournament and chose Ryan because I think TB's defense is trash and that ATL is going to go off.

Mixon: I like this pick and I chose him in a Single Game contest. Bernard is hurt and Mixon should get points rushing and receiving. He is also a TD guy.

Connor: I considered him, but backed off. He has been kind of up and down and I like Cinci's DL, but yeah, he could have a nice game.

I chose Carson from Seattle because I think he'll torch the Raiders and Ekeler from the Chargers because I think he will catch passes against us and he was less expensive.

Boyd: He could have a good game and it was smart to pair him w/Dalton.


Enunwa: He is a solid choice and Indy's D is banged up.

JuJu: Another solid choice.

I chose Landry because I think he'll get a lot of targets w/Higgins and Wilies hurt. I chose Julio Jones to go w/Matt Ryan and TB's defense sucks. And I chose Lockett from Seattle because he is playing well and Oakland's pass defense stinks. I also like that he can break a punt return.

Brate: I almost took him and probably will in another league.

I took Hooper for Atlanta. He had a huge week last week and TB's D sucks.


McCaffery: Nice pick. He's productive.

I took Mike Evans because I had the money to get him and Atlanta's D is beat up.


Rats ... Solid pick.

I chose Seattle because they were $500 cheaper and Carr turns the ball over a lot.

I play about 10-12 lineups each week and almost never play a duplicate one. The lineup I just showed you was my first one and it was in a free league. I haven't edited it yet. But, let's compare scores for our those two lineups after the games are over. It will only help us learn.

And if you wanna give me feedback on my lineup, especially negative feedback, I would love it.

Here is my second lineup in a huge tournament:

Goff
Mixon
Ekeler
Theilan
Woods [Rams]
Lockett
Hooper
Njoku
Bears

Again, I don't usually make money in these tournaments. I do much, much better in the Single Game tournaments, and the 1:00 only, 4:05, 4:25 Express, Sunday-Monday, and Monday-Thursday contests. It's much easier for me to pick better lineups w/fewer players available. That sounds weird...LOL....but, it's true.

For example, last night I took first in a 3 player league; first in a 10 player league; and 2nd in a 10 player league that was Late Sunday--Monday. All w/different lineups.

Right now i have 4 line ups on DK ... here’s my breakdown ....

Winston - 3
Ryan - 1

I want to play more Ryan but he’s too pricey on DK ... also considered Dalton, Ben, Goff and Luck and always have to consider Watson ....

Conner - 3
Mixon - 4 (he’s in all my lineups on bth sites)
Gordon - 1
Hyde - 1 (prolly getting off of him ... strictly a volume guy)
Yeldon - 1

I play RB as my flex in all but 1 ... and will prolly change that ... as u can tell i gravitate toward high end, high volume rb’s ... i notice a lot of fantasy football tendencies and i have to break them if i want to be good at this .. its a TOTTALLY DIFFERENT game theory ... and there’s HUGE DIFFERENCES within the DFS world ... a gpp strategy is like winning the lottery u need some long shots to cash and stacking is almost a necessity ... where as in the 3 - 100 player “cash games” u don’t need to ne near as risky ...

Anyhow ... theres a lot to earn and i appreciate the time u guys are both taking to help me ...

I played

Jordy Nelson - 2
Kekke Cotee - 4 (he will be coming off depending on Fullers status ... won’t play him in more than 3 if fuller sits ... prolly 1 if fuller plays) ..
Sanu - 4 (may pay down at RB to pay up for Julio ... been thinking since last night its a great spot for him to have a 15 - 16 target and 12 or 13 catch game) ...
Julio - 1
Boyd - 1

Prolly gonna pick up more Boyd and Julio ... will play Rodgers 2 or 3 times to free up some cash to upgrade other places ...

Breate - 3 ... will depend on OJ’s status ... will look at Njoku and hooper is oj plays ...
Hooper - 1

May keep this mix ... not sure ....

Rats all 4 D’s ...

Not sure i got the invite for the big free tourny ... how did u find it? .. i like free ... good learning ....

I like RB heavy lineups ... LOVE the touches ... its how i run my fantasy teams and i am having a hard time with the game theory shift to dfs and the differing strategies ... it’ll come i think ... *L* ... may jut take a while .. once i see the results of more reciever dependent line ups i’ll Get sick of losing (ya, i’m one of those ... i really like winnning .. i do .. but man do I HATE LOSING ... *L* ... its true ... u know how i feel about my nephews ... well i have a hard time losing to them still ... i do it but don’t like it ... sad but true ..) ..

I’ll critique yours in my next post ... here’s what i’ve done so far ... like i said i build RB heavy line ups so far ... its what i’m Comfie with ... would love to hear more on your line up building strategies ...

I have 3 line ups so far ... will play in 2 more .. they gave me a lot of free money ... 45 worth .. so i have a large bank roll for my 1 and 2 dollar begginers stuff .. plan is to dabble in your part of the world in a few weeeks and build from there ...

Right now i’m In two 113 player double ups (begginers) and one 11 player double up ... i’ll Prolly play in the 3,000 or so tourny and another 11 player double or triple up ...

Here’s what i’ve Done so far ...

Winston - 2
Dalton - 1

Will look at Goff now that cooks and Kupp appear to be playing .. also may play one Keenum .. not many others will play him, there at home and there gonna have to score and the lambs secondary is not the same w/o talib and peters is playing hurt ... hes a shadow of his usual self ...

Mixon is a staple in all my lineups ... he got 100% of the rb touches last week ...
Conner - 1
McCaffery - 2
Yeldon -1 .... will prolly play more of him .. will get 100% of the work ... no Lee for Dallas ...
Howard - 2 ... may end up with none of him ...

I used a rb for all my flexes ...

Boyd - 2
Enunwa - 1
JuJu - 2
Evans - 1
Sanu - 2
Green - 1

May put some Rodgers in too upgrade at either wr or rb ... i like these line ups though .. like this proving much better than DK’s ...

Rats - 1
Bears - 2

Any other thoughts and how u build your line ups would be helpful ... i have a proccess i follow .. its evolving really fast so far ... each week i learn a bunch and have major tweaks to my process and whats important changes ..

U play a much wider slate of games than i do at this point ... i dont fare very well as the game size shrinks ...

I like Goff ... considered him and may end up with him in one of the other two or three lineups i create ... especially with Kupp and Cooks playing and there D’s banged up ...

Mixon a staple for me in all lineups on both sites .. love the volume and the fact its gonna be a shoot out ... at least on paper ...

I considered Ekeler ... look at him every week and then pay up ... *L* ... its what i’m Comfie with for now .. this has to change or i will keep missing value and handcuffing myself ....

Thielan and Woods are solid plays ... i look at them both every week and then pay down ... fantasy tude still permeates my final decisions ... *L* ... last week i did pay up for Diggs and Kupp ... i been slowing coming around on Goff and his WR’s ...

I liked woods more before i heard Kupp and cooks are playing ... i may re-consider him with that news ...

I took a peek at Lockett ... thee’s others i like in his price range and Baldwin is getting better each week ... he was used as a decoy ast week but he will start eating up some of Lockett’s targets ... on the plus side no way will they continue to run the ball as much as they have ...

Like hooper ... had a lot of him last week ... i like brate more especially if OJ don’t play ... i’ll Monitor that Sunday before kick off ...

Like Njoku ... will end up with more of him ...

I may also end up with some Calloway in 2 or 3 line ups ... will play him in the “gpp” type tourny i play on fan duel ... he’s cheap and should get a ton of targets with no Willies or Higgins ...

Same with Njoku ...

Like ryan also ... will more than likely stack him with Julio and sanu and maybe coleman now in the “gpp” style tourny i’ll play in ...

I forgot about coleman .. he may be a way to pay down and get a ton of touches to pay up elsewhere ...

Love his usage also ... had a lot of bernard the last two weeks for that reason ...

I chose Carson from Seattle because I think he'll torch the Raiders


I considered Carson real hard ... Davis scares me ... i like Howard from Chicago a lot this week bit cohen scares me ... but man .. Carson could have a big week ... the floor scares me ... my fantasy mentalaitly again ...

I wanna play him ... just not ready to accept the usage yet ... it’ll come with time .. *L* ...

I can’t argue with that .. there’s so many choices and ways to go ... i wil end up with Njoku for the same reasons u landed on Landry .. i will also end up with Calloway in a line up or two and that would be more but i’ll Use some Chester rogers in that “role” ..

Quote:
I chose Julio Jones to go w/Matt Ryan and TB's defense sucks.


I agree and will end up with more of him ... i’m Liking that play more and more the more i think about it ...

I always forget about the punt returns .. glad u reminded me AGAIN .. u pointed that out multiple times ... it is important ...

I like other guys more ... especially with Baldwin coming back and he’ll get more each week ..

Quote:
I took Hooper for Atlanta. He had a huge week last week and TB's D sucks.


I like hoop also ... will end up with more of him if OJ plays for TB .. with no OJ i just can;t justify not playing Brate ..

Hoop was one of my very few bright spots last week ...

Quote:
I took Mike Evans because I had the money to get him and Atlanta's D is beat up.


LOVE Evans also ... have him in one line up ... i like Julio more a this price point ... u save a few bucks for other spots ...

Quote:
I chose Seattle because they were $500 cheaper and Carr turns the ball over a lot.


Didn’t really think of them in that light ... 500 is a lot .... hmmmmm ... i did look at the texans in that light ... not the faiders .... man ... Seattle’s d is a mess ... but carr does turn it over a lot ...

I like Tyler Boyd a lot this week. That game might be a shootout


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."

I like your locks ...

Winston worries me ... but thats the fantasy floor in my game shining through ... on paper he’s a great play against that D and in a dome ...

Please let me know how many total lineups u played this week and how many times u went away from Winston ... just curious ....

IF CROW IS OUT does that put Powell into your mix at all? ....

What about coleman ... is he in your mix now cause freeman’s out? ...

VERS .. same question to u ...

If crow is inactive does that add Powell to your mix?

What about freeman being ruled out ... does that add Coleman to your mix at all? ..

I took Coleman in another league earlier today.

I haven't taken Powell yet, but it's a possibility. I gotta look into it more.

I'm not wild about Winston.

Winston worries me.

To a degree, me too. I don't think I'm going to play him much in tournaments as he is now the highest owned QB in ownership projections. Matt Ryan is 2nd.

I need roughly 18 pts from him today to make value in cash. This game total is 57 (with TB as an underdog) and TB implied team total is 27 points. According to the info I have, Winston is playing a defense that gives up 30% more fantasy points to the QB position than the average. So I think there is some upside as well. This defense is riddled with injuries and Winston can also get some points with his legs.

I'll have Coleman as well as some Ito Smith. I'm going to have a lineup that stacks this game but will also try and find some of the lower owned players in this game for other tournament lineups. Coleman, Smith, Barber (maybe), Jackson, Godwin.

Haven't given much though to Powell.

Looks like Crow’s gonna play ... thats what the early report says ... i decided against Powell even if crow doesn’t play ... i don’t trust them ...

Who u going to play instead of Winston in tourny’s? ... if i’m Reading that right you’ll stick with Winston in cash and get away from him in contests with a high number of entries ...

I played in a free tourny on FanDuel and played a Luck stack to get away from the Pitt/Cinci and Atl/TB game ...

Luck .... Mixon ... Coleman ... Landry ... C. Rogers ... Sanu ... Ebron .... Gurley .... Rats ..

Was going to switch my other high # of contestants tourny’s with Goff in one and dalton in the other ... but weather may not cooperate in Denver ...

Guess i’ll Go dalton and not sure where else ...

Who u gonna replace Winston with? ...

How much C. Rogers u play?

Sneaky play with Ito ... i may try it .. sneaky play ... he’s been getting the goalline work for some reason .. he’ll need a TD to pay off cause his volume will be low ... will be interested to see what his price is ...

U talking tourny’s alone or tourny’s and cash for ito? ...

I took Ito Smith in one contest. He is very inexpensive and he has been fairly productive.

I’m going to wait til the inactives come out at 1:00 ... if OJ Howard plays i will play Ito in a few games so i can upgrade from Brate at TE ...

If Howard plays i will play Ito in my tourny’s to upgrade my WR stack for that game ...

I have Rodgers in one league. He's interesting.

I don't have Winston in any league. I don't trust him. He could go off, but he's burned me in the past.

I have Matt Ryan in several contests, Goff in a few. I have Dalton, Cousins, and Rivers in one each. And I have Flacco in the 4:25 Express league because the other choices were Bortles, Prescott, and Mariotta...LOL

I really prefer the smaller slates, such as the 1:00 only, 4:05 ET, 4:25 Express, Sunday night, Sunday-Monday night, and Mon-Thur night. It's much easier to work a lineup when you don't have to choose from every game being played that particular weekend.

I also have been having very good success w/the "Single Game" contests. You only pick 5 "Flex" players w/one of them being your MVP. That player gets 1.5 times the points.

For example, I played in 3 single game contests on Thursday night and took 2 firsts and 1 second. You should check them out. They have one on Monday, another on Thursday, and 3 on Sunday. Just go to "Single Game," which is right below the "Full Roster" option in the upper left hand tab.

I have a ton of C. Rogers in cash and tourneys. Ito Smith only for tourneys.

Man, I'm doing a lot of late editing given what's going on in Denver and Miami. We are not going to be able to compare our earlier lineups because I really changed mine around.

tough when there's so many late changes


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."

j/c:

Had a nice rebound week as the overall ROI was 67%. Another bad week in tournaments with a -7% return but made up for it in cash, making the cash line in all double ups and taking down most head-to-heads.

Cash Lineup- 168.70
QB: J. Winston- 35.9
RB: C. McCaffrey- 13.6
RB: T.J. Yeldon- 10.0
WR: M. Harris- 4.9
WR: Julio Jones- 27.3
WR: C. Rogers- 15.5
TE: A. Hooper- 22.1
FL: J. Mixon- 18.4
DF: Ravens- 21.0

My biggest mistake with this lineup was going with CMC over either Conner or Gordon. I thought the Browns might be able to limit Gordon like they did Kamara and Connor can be up or down. Redskins had been horrible against RBs and thought this would be a safer route to go. It wasn't. I went the cheap route with Maurice Harris once Crowder and Thompson were ruled out and Richardson was labeled as not 100%. At the minimum, 3.0K, it was worth it even if he got me 5 points. It allowed me get another player I liked.

Best Tournament Lineup- 192.76
QB: M. Ryan- 30.46
RB: J. Conner- 31.9
RB: C. Hyde- 3.4
WR: T. Boyd- 25.2
WR: J. Jones- 27.3
WR: A. Robinson- 17.4
TE: D. Njoku- 18.5
FL: C. Godwin- 17.6
DF: Ravens- 21

I tried to build my 20 tournament lineups with a heavy concentration of the ATL/TB, CLE/SD, & PIT/CIN games. This was one of them. Five of the six teams met high scoring expectations except for the Browns. I had either 40% of 50% of Hyde in my tournament lineups. I thought he was in a great spot. Njoku too. I had 35%-40% allocation on him and it was well worth it-- the dude made 5x his salary. I can't really complain about the rest of this lineup. All made great value, just not enough value to win a tournament contest.

The winning lineup had 251.9 points. This person squeezed in Gurley, Gordon, & Connor while playing a cheap Cowboys defense, Hooper, Godwin, Gabriel, A. Wilson, and Jameis Winston. Made a lot of sense.

The grind continues into Week 7.

He made more than 4x his salary on DK. You can't go wrong with that.

All lineups are in one tournament. It's a 20 entry max tournament. So I fill up there and then play double ups and head-to-heads.

I took a quick look at Week 7 pricing last night....

- I think someone at DK made a mistake with a QB pricing. Drew Brees is only 5.7K in highest game total so far. The game is against Baltimore but that is still too cheap in my opinion. That price is 10th highest for QBs. Without doing much research, this might be the cash game QB for me. I would only need 15-18 points from Brees with upside clearly there....sign me up. Baker Mayfield is priced higher than him.

- Gurley's price came down to 9.8K and Elliot is at 8.1K. Both are away but favored. I like them in cash as well.

- Njoku is also a consideration in cash.

I'll comment on other plays later but wanted to note that egregious Brees price on DK. I would be interested to see where FanDuel has Brees.

Yesterday was an up and down day for me. I played in 10 contests and ended up at plus $4.80. LOL

I do have a good shot of winning money in the Sun-Mon contest, though.

I’ll let u know what Brees is on FanDuel later today ... i have to go through my process and its killing me not to look at pricing yet but I have one thing left to do before i go look ...

When i looked at the spreads about 4 this morning and saw the rats/ain’t s game as the only game over 50 with 4 or 5 games not listed .... my first thought was who to stack with Flacco ... *L* ... not sure what i will do with Brees basically being “given” away ....

How does he usually do on road games after a bye? ... i think its pretty cruddy going off memory ... i could be wrong though ...

Love Njoku in cash just looking at the match ups ... will download the pricing later today ....

Last week on DK I DIDN;T LIKE THE PRICING SO I ONLY PLAYED IN 4 contests ... sorry about the caps ...

I played in one heads up and one 229 person double up ....

I scored 212.9 in the 229 person double up ... that was 1st place and i won 2 dollars ...

Winston
Conner
Mixon
Boyd
Callaway
Rogers
Hooper
M. Gordon
Rats ...

My h2h score was 195.1 ... i won that also ...

Those were my two “cash game” scores ... ...

My tourny lineups (2,378 person contests) were 175.86 and 181.96 ... that got me 122nd and 80th ... made $4 and $3 on a $1 wager ....

Wish i would have played the 212 lineup that would have got me 6th and $35 big ones ... *L* ...

Best tourny lineup was

Ryan
M. Gordon
Mixon
Boyd
Callaway
Rogers
Njoku
Yeldon
Rats

I paid $4 in entry fees and won $10.80 ...

Next time i don’t like the pricing i’m gonna play more than i should .... *L* ...

That's a great cash game score.....you would have wiped the floor with me. One thing to consider, and it is something I ALWAYS do, is play my cash game lineup in with my 19 other tourney lineups. You never know, perhaps you hit the nuts with your cash game lineup and it helps in the tourneys as well.. Seems like in your case this week, it would have.

Usually my cash game lineup makes me money in tournaments. Not much, but it's helps soften the blow on my overall tourney loss when I play more riskier lineups there.

20 lineup combos leave lots and lots of options and mixing and matching ...

U play in a 20 entry max tourny to eliminate the amount of entries the pros can have? ... is that why u choose that max number of entries or is there other things involved?

How many cash games u usually play .... whats the spilt between heads up and double ups? ... how may contestant double ups do u do? ... do u do smaller ones or bigger ones or a mix? ...

I play in a 20 entry max so I have the same volume and opportunity as the pros. I think it's valuable to get equal footing at least in terms of the same amount of lineups to possibly enter. I couldn't afford to put in 150 lineups in the Milly Maker like the pros do. So I enter a tournament where I can play the same amount as them.

Head to head? Probaly any where from 20-30 contests.
Double ups range from $2 entries to $50 and multiple entries within that range. All are single entries, again, to have the same opportunity and lineup volume...is this case, just one. I don't play multi-entry double ups. The split is 50/50 but the cut off varies based on the total amount of entrants.

So u play 20 tourny line ups ...

20 to 30 h2h ...

How many double ups do u usually play? ...

Is it strictly double ups or do u do some triple ups or anything else?

Do u play in 10 contestant double ups ... do u play in 20 contestant double ups or 100 contestant double ups? ... do u play multiple different contestant sized double ups?
