As a four-time winner of large field tournaments on-line, I think I can speak with a little authority. Not a lot of authority – but a little.
The first thing you should look for is tournaments or sites that start you with an ample amount of chips. The more chips you have in relationship to the size of the blinds, the more skill comes into play – and less ‘bingo’ betting has to employed.
You should look for tournaments with the starting chips at 50 times the starting big blind or bigger. The bigger the ratio, the better it is for the skilled player.
NPP guys should find tourneys with only 3 starting chips and the blinds at 1 – 2, with blinds going up every 5 seconds. But I digress.
Blinds that go up every 15 minutes is a good time limit for on-line. Live tourneys should have at least a 30-minute gap.
Personally, I also hate re-buy tournaments. I got in an unlimited re-buy tourney at at the Mirage in Las Vegas and a loose cannon at my table lost his starting stack 8 times before the first blind increase! I didn’t win any of those stacks from him and was at a distinct disadvantage right off the bat.
In other words, re-buy tourneys are another possible luck factor for the maniacs to pad their chip stacks before the the re-buy period ends and the ‘real’ tournament begins. You can play in them, but be aware that gambling a little or maybe a lot, may be the best strategy in them.
The last issue is the payout. Some experts want the money spread out to between 15 and 30 percent of the field, getting some return to as many as possible. Some experts want only the final table or at the most the final two tables cashing.
I have no preference really as you have to ‘go deep’ in a few tourneys a year in order to make money anyway. Well maybe I do prefer it more spread out as I hate big swings in my bankroll.
But I think – for the good tournament player – he will make just about the same amount regardless of how the tournament directors set it up. The gaps between paychecks might be longer with the one or two table payouts, but the end result of money I think would be almost the same if you play in enough tourneys and are good enough.
But you need to be aware that if it is a big spread of cashing players, you must be very patient and think of survival at all times. You still have to be willing to attack other ‘scared’ players at the right time – near those dreaded ‘bubble’ finishes (just off the money).
If only the final table or two get paid, be aware that you NEED chips to have any hope of getting there. So gambling at some point will be required. Up to you to pick when, but with practice you will figure it out. I will make it a topic for another article. – Nik Faldo

How do you increase sexual willingness of women over age 40 years?
A. Send them to me.
B. Get out of your chair, stop drinking beer like its water, stop lifting your leg when you fart and stop burping the national anthem and a woman might want to have sex with you.
C. It's impossible unless they're a nympho. Women over forty come into heat every 90 days and then u really want to be present because they'll rape u. But beware it only lasts 24 hours so make sure you're there you won't regret it my husband loves it on that 90th day. He says it shows in my eyes they get sexually glossy and watch out he says yahoooooooooooo all the way to the bedroom or where ever I attack him at lol
D. Its hard and almost impossible.
E. It is by talking sweetly, going to picnic / outing, eating outside, taking care of her, do some thing new which she likes, use some different positions during sex, etc. etc.
Some women rather become more sexually active in their 40s.
Get your votes in.
Mimi, you left off the obvious answer:
F: Who cares? They're old.
How do you increase their willingess..... the husband steals a substanital amount of money..gives it to his wife...goes to jail for the rest of his.
This allows the women to increase er sexual willingness, just not with her husband.
