Another key part of this decision process is the blind structure of these €20 tournaments. I can't imagine for €20 the blinds increases slowly, this adds to variance. Most casinos that offer daily tournaments have the most turbo charged blind structure that it really negates skill and on the prize bubble the chip lead "might" have 6bb.
If this is the case, I wouldn't waste your time playing (I have a sneaky suspicion this is probably the exact tournament structure I am speaking of)
Don't be like this guy
Imagine this dudes RoI!!!!
But if you're looking to play live and get some practice in, these tournaments are probably just the ticket for you...it just may not be practical or a good idea to try to make it a 2nd job, or take off work thinking you will profit substantially/supplement your income.
In terms of studying, which I haven't seen too many people address since we got hung up on the local tourna(donka)ments, live poker is a little different. There's a ton of content on online play, which I am not sure if you're looking at just live studying material since it will be slightly different (no HuD study, more paying attention to detail, etc.) maybe someone else can suggest a good live poker guide, try watching some live vlogs from andrew neeme or alec torreli, they both play live cash games and break down action, I watch them for entertainment so I don't have any experience in actually using their hand analysis tips.
