I was told if you win multiple entries you could be paid cash, true or not true?

That's not what I was told. There is a regular named Ray who's won at least 5 of them and he told me he was just selling them to high limit players. I don't know any high limit players other than Howard Beale and he's such a nit he doesn't play tournies

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I told you I'm horrible at these things, lol. You're the tourney guy, certainly not me!

Just because of this I now have to throw away $110 and give one a shot. I used to do semi-ok at the $33 sng's but that included payouts for 3rd. This is all or nothing and in my case more likely nothing. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'm 1 for 1. Missed the tourny on Wed night and won the Sat instead. I have to say that was one of the softests Sat's I have ever played in my life. It was far softer than a $10 Stars SNG. There were several 3/6 players, a couple 5/150 players, one guy who knew what he was doing and a coupld of clueless guys I had never seen before. It was the worst SNG I've ever seen. Typical hand went like this - open limp, call, call, call - raise 6x - fold, fold, fold, fold. We got to 4 handed at 150/300 and one lady folded from 2200ish to 100 without playing a hand. Yes, she folded her 300 BB to a raise with 100 behind.

If you can sell extra seats it's definitely way +EV compared to the Tues/Wed DonkFest.

For $110 this sounds like a worthwhile trip to the CAZ

LOL. Howard and I once had a conversation about how bad be both are at tournaments.

So what did you guys tip after you won your seat? I tipped $30. I actually asked the dealer when there were 5 left what he would want and he said $30.

Hmm, I didn't even think about trying to satellite into this thing. Only satellites I've played at a casino were at the Bike during the Legends of Poker last year and I ended up donking off some cash during those. Oh well, too late for me, I already bought my seat for this one.

I wish I had asked. My satellite went two hours (partly because of problems with the shuffler, but mainly because of people folding). So I'm thinking I should tip $50 ($25 per hour). But after I won I was in a hurry to leave, but only had $100s in my wallet, and it didn't occur to me to go to the cage and get change so I just gave her $100. The floor saw this and I had to tip him $25 so I didn't look like a tool.

The dealer was very grateful, esp. because she felt really bad she had flipped up an ace to me on this hand. Seven left, I'm chip leader. Agro guy raises my SB in an excessively large raise. I see that I've got A8s, so I push all in thinking he's on a steal. He instacalls with KK. I'm table short stack. He asks if she dealt me the 8 as a replacement and I tell him yes so he won't realize how aggressive I'm getting. I tell him I just flipped out that I lost my rockets and pushed.

I've got 3BB left. I push the next three hands, no one calls.

In reality I'm pretty sure she replaced the ace with another ace. I probably wouldn't have pushed with A8o though. I'm not that crazy. Or am I

I just won my seat. I'm not a tournament player so I don't know much about tipping in these things and I only gave her a ten. I feel like a cheap ass now.

If I win this thing I'm quitting my job and playing for a living. How's that for a plan?

Congrats! I'll never win a seat. I'm being left behind in the dust........

Wait until you play in that tourney. If it's anything like the regular night tourneys you'll raise w/ AA and get beat by 9-4o just like happened to 'somebody' I know who tried one a couple of weeks ago.
