A_Bullets_A 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 http://www.pokernews.com/news/2005/12/poke...-tournament.htmI just read about this $10 000 000 buy in event that's going to be done in Australia. This is crazy. I think it's gonna be really cool to watch when they televise it. The only person they already have confirmed is Phil Ivey. Who else do you think might enter this thing?

bdc30 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 As cool as it would be, I just can't see it ever happening.Also, I like the "internet qualifier" angle. How many satellites would you have to win to even get CLOSE to 10 million dollars foryour buyin? lol Link to post Share on other sites
Petoria 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 It's not like this is the 3rd or fourth thread about this exact subject or anything.....(sw)I hope I got this in before the locking. Link to post Share on other sites
jgingerich 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Man can you picture yourself playing a 10 Mil buy-in event. As "the mouth" would say, that event will be filled with "Donks" I say that because you know the uber-rich business man with nothing better to do will play in that field Link to post Share on other sites

mrnuts 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 todd brunson is in it too i believe, he was interviewed on card player saying him and ivey left the five diamonds tourney on day one to fly to l.a. to get an entry Link to post Share on other sites

Ignore the idiot.Dude there are already 3 or 4 of these already, why waste the space?I know that. I've read the other posts. I just don't think it's appropriate to make fun of a guy that's trying to share something new and informative with the forum. He's new, and thinks that the article would be a good read. I appreciate that. Link to post Share on other sites
showtime 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 all i gotta say is f* the entry fee. if i won one of those satellites i would opt for the cash. lets say that some guy actually qualifies and ends up playing in this thing. no matter how perfect his game can be for that ONE tournament, there is STILL (yes i cant believe it myself either) luck involved and i'd hate to be the one getting my Aces cracked and busting out of the tournament without a penny.

I appreciate that.His post is fine, it's just that he didnt look before he posted. I didnt really even make fun of him. I just made a sarcastic comment, and I didnt call him any names such as: idiot, douchebag, bitch, dumass, piece of sh*t, mother f***er, stupid, moronic, stupid, or Antonio Esfandiari. I just let him know that he should look before he posts a new thread. That's it. Link to post Share on other sites

Ignore the idiot.Dude there are already 3 or 4 of these already, why waste the space?Are you kidding? It's hardly as if the General Poker forumspace is some kind of valuable real estate or something.Have you read some of the trash that ends up on here now since the FCP poker site went live??FWIW, I'm around here quite a bit and I hadn't seen thisposted as yet either.

I mean, the thread was created yesterday, and since we're seeing a million threads a day now, who knows where it is. This is just adding to the clutter. Link to post Share on other sites

Might slow down the traffic by 4%. Link to post Share on other sites
bdc30 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Or the correct thing would be for a mod to post a link to the other thread, and lock/movethis one.http://fullcontactpoker.com/poker-forums/v...pic.php?t=41526I've done 1/2 the work.But I agree that all these "rail me" threads shouldgo elsewhere. Say the Tournament Forum maybe?Unfortunately, General seems to be the catch-all for peoplestarting threads. They get a few replies, then the modsmove them to where they actually belong, but then theydie out because nobody goes into most of the other categories.How to rectify this I have no idea, but I hope they figure it out.

Flack_attack 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Ten million dollar buy-in? Wow seems a little low. Personlly i wouldve raised it to 20 or 30 mil to filter out the donks but thats just me. Link to post Share on other sites
