I will of course adjust my strategy depending on the type of play I observe. However, if play is as loose as Alien is describing, then there is no point whatsoever in calling 3 or 4 all-ins with a hand like AK, suited or not. You are an underdog against any individual pair, and against 3 or more opponents you are far more likely to exit the tournament than stay in. I would however call an all-in with Aces, barring maybe something incredible like 6 all-ins in front of me or something like that.

Generally speaking I think the value of the by-in is immaterial - it is just that at the lower buy-ins the numpty phase might last longer. Once these guys have blown themselves out, then play continues more or less as normal - expcept that you have more weak players still involved maybe - so good poker play will be rewarded even more.

Kiko - what you are doing is cheating plain and simple. :down
Keep at it and you will get caught. A lot of the sites have fairly sophisticated monitoring techniques and if you examing the T&C of many sites you are consenting for them to check other programs and processes running. If they see an IM dialogue taking place to the same IP as logged on to the game server they will (rightly) be suspicious.
