What is your preference for the table stakes on a BYOC tourney?

I know there are some of us that prefer the higher stakes, and others that don't. Rather than a cash game, what is your level of comfort for a tourney buy in?

My preference is to keep tourneys on the cheaper side. It's a crap shoot. Keep it light and have fun with it is my angle on tourneys.

 

[Quads]

While I dont' think tourneys are a craps shoot, I prefer them to be of the higher buy in which increase the payouts and rewards those who played well, over the long run.

My preference would be in the $75 to $100 and up range.

 

[Hagar]

Tourney have no "long run". They are very short term in poker time.

 

[Quads]

IMO- He (or she) who survives the longest is rewarded with the money. Surviving the longest does require a bit of luck, but there needs to be quite a bit of skill and strategy to survive as well. I think the ratio is far more skill than luck.

I'm sure others feel differently about tournament play.

Maybe it's good to have the "normal" $50 buy-in tourney monthly and a higher, say a $100 buy-in once every 3 or 4 months (with a larger field and a longer period).

 

[Quads]

I don't know what is good to have or good to not have. To each host is own. I was simply curious as to peoples preference and level of comfort.

 

[Ace-in-Space]

Since we are a group we could coordinate so some host might do the lower level buy ins and some might do high ones.

 

[Quads]

Yeah, that's pretty much how it is now.
Depending on the hosts' preference and comfort level, he / she hosts within what ever range they prefer.
