Hi everyone,

We're truly sorry for the mix up with the low cap on this tournament. To be perfectly honest we weren't quite prepared for the overwhelming response to the event

How is this even possible? I appreciate you taking the time to post, but this seems like a complete lack of competence.

Who is 10lb bass? I've seen where he plays in the big NL games, is he someone famous?

It's possible because we screwed up. Every other $200 buy-in tournament we've had has had under 1250 players. We obviously knew this event would be bigger, but we didn't know it would be twice as big as anything we had previously seen.

All we can really do is apologize and learn from our mistakes. We're currently in the process of raising the cap on events we feel might encounter a similar situation in the future. Hopefully this is the first and last time you'll see a mistake like that from us.

Doug,

Thanks again for taking the time to respond. I was simply surprised to learn Full Tilt did not anticipate a field larger than 2000.

THEOSU · #26 08-13-2006, 07:03 PM

2025 at break 1. I got one hand all hour (JJ) and had to fold it preflop to the fourth raise. Yay.

Joboo · #27 08-13-2006, 07:04 PM

4655 at the break, and my plan to fold into 200th is going in full swing.

#28 08-13-2006, 07:07 PM

9925 at first break.

ZBTHorton · #29 08-13-2006, 07:09 PM

2500 at break..I have so much trouble building stacks on FT.

Why were no turbo sng satellites ran after the regular sng satellites stopped around 16:30? Can you say if there will be turbo sng satellites for the rest of the events?

Also, why dont you just run the turbo sng satellites 24/7? Why are were forced to play them in a 45 minute or so window every week? I'd play the 24+2's all the time if I didn't have to play the regular structure.

ALSO! Holy crap fix the payout structure for the 6max mtts. Paying 27 in a 6max mtt = the dumbest thing ever.
