For some reason his line screamed like KJs or QQ or a set. What draw could he put me on to make that bet?

Do you always raise that flop? I find that calling makes these subsequent decisions easier.

[Jurollo]

Well I thought raising here makes QQ-AA easier to detect, however, the turn check on the K makes me worry.

Why were no turbo sng satellites ran after the regular sng satellites stopped around 16:30?

[/ QUOTE ]

It was pretty clear at that point that we were going to have a problem with the cap, so we made the decision to not run the turbo sngs to allow as many people to direct buy-in as possible.

[ QUOTE ]
Can you say if there will be turbo sng satellites for the rest of the events?

[/ QUOTE ]

All of the hold'em events will have turbo sngs. Unfortunately, at the moment we can't run non-hold'em turbo sats. We're working hard on filling in the holes of our various tournament structures and should roll out more and more structures in the near future. (I also agree that our payout structure for 2000 players is lacking and needs to be fixed.)

[ QUOTE ]
Also, why dont you just run the turbo sng satellites 24/7?

[/ QUOTE ]

We just weren't sure of the demand. For the rest of FTOPS we'll start the turbos the night before the event and see how that goes. If there's enough interest, I'm sure we'll be happy to put them in for the whole week for the regular Sunday tournament.

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

[/ QUOTE ]
OKAY! This is just another structure that needs fixing. Unfortunately, we won't get to it in time for Friday's 6-max event, but we'll try to get this rolled out asap.

Thanks for the feedback,
Doug
