Live cash players in general are not very good at the lower stakes.

Those small buyin tournaments are probably not very beatable given how high the rake is and how small the fields are.

You can def play with a much smaller roll playing live if you want to go in as a tight solid player and at those stakes with the massive mistakes people make it will still be profitable.

Bonus note; be patient in those small stakes cash games. Live in general is just so much slower that a lot of newer players tend to force themselves into playing too many hands just because they are seeing so many less hands per hour.

If this is a day trip than fine, but any longer..i would not consider it. live play is usually played deeper than online, sitting there with 80bb is pretty much a crap shoot, and prolly put you more on tilt than make you any money.

Unless you are sitting with a bunch of nits(unlikely on PLO), whatever you have pre, will have multiple callers, you wont have enough ammo to fire them off or to maximize your profits.
