I won a $16.50 'Big Fish' ticket on the daily 888 spin today
There are two choices of tournaments I can play with this ticket:

                  Trn #1    Trn #2
    Guarantee:     15000      5000
  Start Stack:     50000      5000
St Stk in BB:       200       167
Blind levels:    12 min    12 min
     Late Reg:   3hr 15m   2hr 30m
     Re-entry:  Yes -- 2  Yes -- 5

I'm having a tough time deciding which one.
Besides the information given, what other things should I look for?
Both could take a very long time...
I have no idea what the players will be like, not having played this level on this site for a long, long time.
The re-entry item is irrelevant, since I would not re-enter either tournament.

I like the idea of starting with 200 BB.

Comments or suggestions?

Hi Vorpal,
Not sure if you already used the ticket. I personally would play the deep stack one as it has the bigger guarantee and probably more fish. Also it is slower because of your bigger stack which might be good for your tight style.
If you don't want to play forever then you should choose the "smaller" tourney. Good luck!

I did play the deep stack one -- I did not cash, but didn't make a bloody fool of myself either :coolface:

Thanks for your input!
