Don't play tournaments if you really want to win money! That is the issue, people see the big pay outs and want to win it, but the reality is if they are paying out a million dollars on a 5$ entry, obviously they can only pay out a very small percentage of the tens of thousands that entered. I won $100 on $5 early on in a tournament, but I mainly only play smaller 20 to 100 people double up games. Because you only have to finish in the top half to double your money, it is much easier to win. I am up about $250 over the last year mainly playing a couple 5$ games a week. It is very true though that the odds of you actually winning one of the big tournaments is very similar to that of a lottery.
