11th hour late regging considered harmful

Last night, I played 3 MTT-R NLHEs. I late regged the first two very close to the end of their late registration periods. I registered for the third before it began. Although I failed to make the money in any of them, I came closest in the third. Coincidence? I don't think so. There are several problems with 11th hour late regging, some of which I've covered before:

- you have less resources to enable you to get airborne
- you have less runway to get airborne
- you will almost certainly be forced to add on
- you will almost certainly be bullied by the bigger stacks

The late registration period for the tournaments I play is 29 minutes. From now on, I'm going to try to avoid entering tournaments which have less than 20 minutes left in their late registration periods; we'll see if I can stick to this.
