i'm willing to spend around $100-$200 for entry fee per tournament but i probably can't go higher than that
EDIT: it's not a big deal for me to add more cash if I need to
Have you considered upping the buy in for tourneys to $230?
The $230 @ Brantford has a patience factor of 18.43 - rake 13%. The tourneys there <$200 all have a PF of 10.62 or less, rakes vary from 13.3% - 25%.
The electronic version of the $230 has 36.91 PF - 9% rake.
