Yeah, I've played a few of the daily tourneys in Vegas.... with the USD$50 buy-ins....
The blinds would go up twice within one round....
after about 2 rounds, the big blind was about 1/4 my chips (I didn't have any decent hands yet, so I had most of my chips)
Afterwards, I figured in those tourneys, that it's all about picking a hand, and going all-in very early....
If I get a chance to play, I stick with normal tables now.
I did enjoy tourneys in online poker though. (but I haven't played online since PartyPoker banned Philippine IP addresses back in 2005)
