WSOP VEGAS 2023: DAY 4 ($500 Freezeout, Bellagio Fountains & Mirage Volcano!)

Why late reg??? Why? So you can all in one hand? I’ll never understand. I started on time and place 370, just in case you wondering if I know what I’m talking about.

Congrats on your run, hope you had fun! I think there are benefits to both regging at the start and late regging.

No, I get it. I see it too often. The pros I see are avoiding long hours, falling victim to bad hands or too many hands. Avoiding large percentage of players and close to landing min cash. Cons; you never get chance to play into weak players, earn bigger stack, read tables. I might be one the last few that make mental notes of players at my table. When the fold, when they call, and when they raise. Call me old fashion but I count myself as a mid-strong player who sees opportunities to capitalize on players playing weak or aggressive. Stacks count in tournaments. You afford yourself room for mistakes and bad beats. But you’re still alive! Late reg leaves a shot shot most times. I’ll take min cash if that’s where I land, but I’m not crossing fingers that my 99 will win when my raise is an easy call for a A10 off or 10J off. But I will continue to see how late regs land at my tournaments and see if I’m wrong and need to change my game. Good luck.

@@codymarcom7797 Thank you for providing your response! I found your comment to be very helpful and insightful. I think I will try to reg tournaments earlier and see how I do. Thanks again, and good luck at the tables!
