Where I live there is a bj tournament that has a silly way of getting to the final four participants. Play starts with 6 tables of 7. The next round consists of the top 21 money winners regardless of what table they came from. The next round of 3 tables of 7 players then yields the top 4 in money winners, also regardless of which table.
My question is: would it be reasonable in this type of tourney to, say, bet half of the start amount (you begin w/$500.00) on the first play? If you win the first play, then bet $5.00 on each additional hand. (I should say there are 21 hands dealt and the entry cost is just $10.00). If you lose the first hand, then try to make up the deficit. What I am thinking, is if you win the first hand with this type of set up, you would be practically guaranteed of making it to round two. Any ideas??
