What's the thinking behind all the live donkaments chief? If it's just for the social with mates then go with it, but in terms of hourly I'm pretty sure you'd be better off staying at home and beating up on the Saturday night donkeys online or even picking up a minimum wage job for the night.

I wouldn't recommend rebuying in one of these tournies either. Just put your name down for a cash table and wait for the usual live idiots to join you. You would have a huge edge on the majority of the table guaranteed, plus it's fun to stoke the superstitions of the other players and agree wholeheartedly with their terrible strat talk.
