Stars is bad enough ... I would flatten things out a bit ... but yes for the win ...

Have you been playing Stars Warm Ups etc ...

Full Tilt wise - what is happening with their TV tournaments?

L

stars and FT would solve this problem if they only paid the top 10% of the field rather than the top 15%+ that they do at the moment.

However, they are not going to change this policy, because absurdly most people are happy with this arrangement.

1. donks (the majority of FT and stars customers) are happy because they have more chance of cashing and the fact they cash more often keeps them coming back (even though they are losing players)
2. very good regulars are happy because they play enough volume to get enough final tables to make decent money. They also have a load of exploitable players (who are seemingly happy to cash) that can help propel them to the final table

That only leaves decent players who have full time jobs and families and haven"t got the time to play the volume required for noticeable success. that is probably only a very small percentage of their cutomers.

I have stopped playing these big field MTTs, for 2 reasons.

1. I dont have the time to play them to a finish
2. I had 2 top 30 finishes in the space of 2 days for a grand total of about $100 when 2 wins would have given me $10K

I now play 100-200 runner tourneys on party and Poker.co.uk. You dont get the 4 figure scores that you would get on FT and stars, but you do get a better idea of how well you are running and the payouts aren"t too bad

Great run btw steve, I was railing for a bit, but got bored when you went 5 minutes without 1 outering anyone

Aye - all true - and why I head back to Betfair despite their terrible customer service - lots of 100-150 runner events - much more manageable.

That said will likely go for the Sunday Warm Up on Stars have cashed the last three - (never for much!)

better start winning some races, binking a third Jack and not jamming a dominated ace from BB into a button raise

Come on, One Time (again)

[hi_am_chris]

How many times ?

[AMRN]

wow! got caught and lost a few chips. went round three orbits without playing a hand, then open shoved for 16BBs from the SB in an unopened pot with 44..... BB called with a similar stack with A6o!!  ofc he hit the 6. finished about 60 outside the money.  

one time next time

Probably self-boking but i"m 13th from remaining 57 in Full Tilts $24+2 ($16k Guaranteed)...

I"m not going to say the above quoted phrase though, never ever saw it bring anyone luck

The very second after I posted this I just lost a 62k pot... still in, just.

Self-boking at it"s best.

[CrizzyConnor]

Doubled up with pocket Kings vs someone"s push with Q10...

6 hands later I lose 54k pot with pocket Kings that I run into pocket Aces, FML!

Still alive, 22 out of 39 remaining.

chief bokker on my way now
