Another sweet spot

Last night, since I knew I would be watching the presidential debate, but wanted to play some poker beforehand, I chose to play some KO. The reasoning was simple - KOs don't last long. I fit two of them in before the debate started; I came in fifth in the first, and first in the second. After the debate, I continued playing KO, since those two tournaments had really whetted my appetite for it. I played the lowest stakes I could find, which at the moment are $4,250+$4,250+$1,500 (buy in, bounty, and entry fee). When I first started playing KOs, I thought the lowest stakes were $26,400+$26,400+$7,200, due to a quirk in the tournament selection interface. Unlike the lower stakes in cash games, I think the lower stakes in KOs attract some pretty bad players, which is just fine by me :-) Based on my results last night, I think I may have found another poker sweet spot; only time will tell.
