well this doesnt apply to non tourneys, but when i play in tournament i find its best to just try an make your money back. if i pay $50 to get in a tourney for 50 people with 3 payouts, i just aim for 3rd or whatever place gets me atleast $50. i then work from there and try to increase it. ive came to table with barely any chips and been able to rally victories or profits just by trying to get last payout. let the big guys play agianst each other and just hang on till you get a hand.
