after the po freeroll i late registered for one of the big tournaments with a $1.1 buy in on carbon.
when I registered there were 80 people left and 9 minutes left in late registration.
before late reg ended there were about 90 people who had joined late like I did but they didn't last very long.
I finished outside of the money in 77th and only the top 76 get paid.
i found the late registration for this particular tournament very appealing because at the time that I registered there was only a few minutes left in late registration and there were 80 people left with the top 76 paid. so if i won one or two all-in or fold hands then I could sneak into the money, but the late registration strategy hasn't worked out for me so far.
