Sigh. You wait patiently on a table of calling stations and lose a load when you do finally get a hand. I raise to 6x pre with JJ, five callers. Flop 922 rainbow, guy 3-bet shoves on me, I reluctafold and he shows the 2. Obviously not my exit hand but gives you an idea.
Also, they managed to plan a decent structure really badly. 12k chips, 30 min clock initially, changing to 20 mins from level 4 once the alts list closed. No antes until 600-1200. It attracted 147 runners last night. Apparently the last three such comps have gone to a 5am chipcount with upto 8 players left. Errr, learn from your mistakes? Start before 9pm / ante earlier / give 10k not 12k / bring the cash places or FT back for a day 2 etc...
