So i have a question regarding sundays and how to make the best of it. There is so many tournaments to choose from and i find it easy to be tempted to play way too many and losing value with mass tabling. I normally have an avg buy in of around 120$ on sundays. Recently i have started skipping all small stake huge fields like bigger 11, 22 and hotter 11, 16,50, sunday storm etc.
I do so because when playing sunday warm up, million, bigger 109, and a couple of other majors i dont see the point of being distracted from MTTs with 10-20 times lower buy ins and missing spots in the bigger buy ins as a result. seems very -EV. Then i listen to a lot of podcasts and have talked with solid regs playing between 50-120 MTTs on sundays and just playing “everything”.
Am i missing something here? Perhaps a good way is to keep the smaller buy ins separated/stacked on a certain spot on a monitor so u know which is less important so u can still focus mostly on the big ones? Can add that i play on 888, stars, FTP, party and winamax so i have a lot to choose from.. No turbos ATM because of variance.

Also wondering if there is a lot merit to late registering on purpose to have less tables running at all times especially deep stacked MTTs with tough fields that dont have a lot of spew monkeys that will give u 200bb with top pair.?

I think you’re on to some good things here. Personally, on the rare occasions that I play online these days, I don’t play a ton of tables. As you say, I’d rather focus on the biggest things I’m playing, which also tend to have the toughest fields, than get distracted by a decision in a $10 and end up spewing in a $200 or something. Stacking the smaller stakes ones is one option, but I think you should generally have an idea of what is the optimal number of tables for you. Then you can make use of late reg in lower priority events to fill back up to that number whenever you bust something, and use stacking if you have a high priority tournament or two starting when you’re already filled to your max. Basically I think playing “everything” is overrated, especially because it’s hard to get better when you are playing so many tables that you have to autopilot.
