It took something like...Exactly, chipper, exactly. It took something like...5 1/2 hours to play through. So my rate was something like $2.75/hour. I should be waiting tables. :-)<BR/><BR/>What I wouldn't give to have had the results reversed, especially since the play quality in both tourneys was so similar.<BR/><BR/>The conundrum is this -- I don't feel bankrolled for more than $5 or $10 buy-ins, but the fields for these tourneys are typically so large (except for the occasional PL Omaha that will have more like 200 players), that any edge I have is pretty much negated by the sheer number of landmines you have to survive to be King of Donks.<BR/><BR/>I'm convinced that in the case of those who buy into the $50 or $75 tourneys, it's as much the smaller field sizes that contribute to their success as it is thier ability, because while you <B>want</B> that 88 calling your AA, if you have those calls coming every time, you're going to get burned eventually.<BR/><BR/>Ahhh...someday I'll have another nice $1800 cash and instead of withdrawing $1400, I'll just move up in buy-ins for a bit....Mondogaragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023431901646281284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38050293.post-66369156610111318792007-07-11T12:09:00.000-06:002007-07-11T12:09:00.000-06:00What an awesome job taking down the entire tournam...What an awesome job taking down the entire tournament! Sweet! Grats on your domination of the donks in the Freeroll. Freerolls are simply one big crapshoot and you're lucky to survive all the coin flips. Now tell me honestly, now that you've "beaten" this freeroll - do you feel like ever doing it again? When I ended up winning in a Hubble 10,000 donk freeroll (only top 27 move on) I told myself I'd never play that freeroll again. Too much time involved for such little return. Bet your telling yourself - "if only this would have been for a nice buy-in and big money!".Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144288142060736290noreply@blogger.com
