I was wondering how soft the daily tournaments are and if the big saturday tournies are worth it?

I find them very soft, but someone else might find them difficult.  I am crap when it comes to playing 5/150, but I am a very good limit hold'em player, and played a ton of NL tourneys online, so I am good at value betting in limit, and the push or fold mode of online tourneys, just not the middle ground of our quasi-NL cash game.

Play a few and find out yourself!

The fields are not tough, the problem is the juice is quite high.  For example, the morning tourney is $40+$20 and you need to pay $5 for an extra 500 chips which goes to the dealers so does not increase the prize pool.  The rebuys help a bit as they go entirely to the prizepool but it is still very difficult to make a longterm profit.

Most regulars play enough to get into a freeroll and possibly get cash by accumulating points which is quite a good deal if you play enough.
