jimmythang68 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I was just wondering who is trying to qualify and how is it going? Link to post Share on other sites
2bthebest 2 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Trying through the SNG method.In the last week I have won two stage 2's.In the first Stage 3, I bubbled in 3rd , in the one I played yesterday, I made several bad overcalls and went out in 7th.Overall, I guess thats decent no?

Mercury69 3 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I've made it into two or three $68 SnG's, but haven't been able to go beyond, yet. I'd really love to qualify for this. The possibility of going to Barcelona is appealing. Link to post Share on other sites
medicalmj 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 So far i've made it to two stage 1's. In the first i didnt play too good and went out 6 or 7th. In the 2nd one i only played two hands the entire sng and lost to runner runner straights both hands!! First hand i flopped the straight then lost to runner runner straight and on the 2nd hand i flopped two pair and lost to runner runner straight, talk about some bad luck.Anyone else notice that it takes forever for a stage 3 to fill up, im worried about making it to stage 3 then having to sit around for 8-10 hours just for it to start. I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth trying because having to sit around hoping the stage 3 fills up is very difficult to do. In the first Stage 3, I bubbled in 3rd , in the one I played yesterday, I made several bad overcalls and went out in 7th.Overall, I guess thats decent no?very nice, keep it up!

medicalmj 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 anyone know if pokerroom has different qualifers ? I noticed most the people in the poker classic so far are from pokerroom, is this just cause they are a big site or are they doing other types of qualifers possibly ?

myenemy 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Im trying. Its tough. Only played in one $68 so far though, I just started trying. Im glad they pushed back the dates. I cant believe though that only something like 13 FCPers are in so far. Where is all of that SnG money going if no one is getting in? Link to post Share on other sites

Ecclesbury 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I just poster this in a pinned topic, so I guess I'll post in here as well: In case anyone is interested they have recently put up a draft version of both the tournament structure and the payout structure.(EDIT: I can't seem to put a link within a quote so I'll add it at the bottom)Check out that on line stage structure! 50,000 starting stacks (anyone think that might be a typo....5000 sounds more like it!) and 30 minute levels!!! Suits me to a tee.Glad to see that they are also paying out top 80, rather than just the 45 who get to Barcelona. That would have been one hell of a bubble!!I just have to bring this up again, because it is pretty amazing. BigMike's ticket only cost him $1.10! 4 SnG's back to back! On his first attempt no less!I tried 2 turbo qualifiers (i hate Turbos's) came second, then third, then gave up. Then bought into a $10 stage 1, and won 3 back to back for my ticket. $12.20 total.You're right about the stage 3's taking a while. I found that they usually fill up at certain times. I played my stage 1 on a monday, stage 2 on a tueday and was going to wait for the weekend to play the stage 3, so I could wait around. However, I checked the site at about 11:00pm GMT on the wednesday and there was a table with 8 players. So I sat down and it filled up about 5 minutes later.Have a look at about 11:00pm GMT, or 6:00pm EST (i think) and that seems to be the best time.Structure Link to post Share on other sites

Ecclesbury 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 50k starting stack??? omg. I know! They must mean 5000, surely? I was hoping for a 5k starting stack. Link to post Share on other sites
Vatche 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I know! They must mean 5000, surely? I was hoping for a 5k starting stack.i dont think its 5k because they give 10k starting chips for their 1000+0 tournies. Link to post Share on other sites

mr_english 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I had tried a couple of times and kept making it up to the $68 level, then one saturday I sat down and managed to take straight sng's all the way up to the $512, then went on to bust out in 3rd, have not tried again since.

The heads up sessions in both the stage 2 and 3 were pretty intense, really took it out of me. Link to post Share on other sites
medicalmj 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 first off congrads eccles on make it to the finals and thanks for the tip on when to try to compete in stage 3 (too bad im at work at 6pm est)50,000 starting chips ? WOW! Redbull and starbucks should make a nice buck from those that make the finals Link to post Share on other sites
Ecclesbury 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I wonder what the structure will be for the $50k freeroll?Oh, and any more news on the additional qualifier bonus for the "major event" satellite. Do we know which major event, or is it players choice? Bob, any idea? first off congrads eccles on make it to the finals and thanks for the tip on when to try to compete in stage 3 (too bad im at work at 6pm est)No worries, I know how much of a pain it can be to have to sit and wait for tables to fill up. I guess I just got lucky, and the fact that I hadn't had to sit and wait meant that i was fresh and ready to play!Thanks for the congrats, the buzz of winning the ticket was worth the $10 alone! Really looking forward to all the tournaments. Link to post Share on other sites
