Just curious - what's the AP's perspective on (free/invited) tournaments? Is it ever worth the bother, when you have other profitable opportunities in casinos?
I know the strategies are very different, and that there's a sister site here. I just never looked much into these tournaments and wanted an AP's perspective on their value, since I'm getting invited to them all the time, it seems.
From a brief look, it seems that a prepared player can certainly beat most others with good strategy, but it seems to be an extremely high-variance pursuit, since the relative number of hands played are quite small.
