HubDub04 0 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Yea figures that I just blew 16,000 of my FPPs on Satellites into the ME and for Ipods etc.Wish I would have known about this and I woulda saved 5k fpps to play.I guess I could just deposit $2000 more on Stars and grind 25/50 NL. Yea right.GL to all that are in though. Link to post Share on other sites

outsider13 0 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I see they are doing it at the end of every month now too. That's cool. Link to post Share on other sites
BeaverStyle 1 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 These satties are frustrating as hell. Not surprisingly frustrating mind you... they just suck. Link to post Share on other sites

Merby 3 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 i remember this being such a bad tourney...I was thinking of buying in directly, but your comment gives me pause. Does this tournament have a bad structure? Or is it just *VERY* bad value for your FPPs? Link to post Share on other sites

Snake Plissken 0 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I hate the fact that it's a turbo tournament. I know the structure gets really flat in the end but nah, don't like it at all. gl to all of you who is gonna play though Link to post Share on other sites
grocery_mony 8 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Isnt the same structure as the weekly 100k? 1 hour of play then shove/fold the rest of the way Link to post Share on other sites
finztotheleft 0 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 That looks kind of interesting. 5,000 FFP's has roughly a $50 value.....if you trade it in for cash (then earn the additional points which is easy to do) but a 1 in 3 shot (if the 12,000 seats fill up) for at least 90 sounds tempting tooMy sat starts in a few minutes Link to post Share on other sites

Franchise632 0 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 In for the 10 fpp Tourney ID: 87569279 should be a blast. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 It's a great value unless you lose 5K in satellites and then buy directly in. I think I'll just skip the satty's this time. Link to post Share on other sites
FARGOpokerND 22 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 It's a great value unless you lose 5K in satellites and then buy directly in. I think I'll just skip the satty's this time.or do what i did last time. Win my seat right away, withdraw to try and win more seats...lose that 5k, then 5k more direct buying in, then oversleeping, waking up to find yourself blind out 50 short of the $$$...
