Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

they also added a $10, 100k guarateed 10min levels. so 10k entrants crapshoot?

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

All 3 registered are probably in the top 20 players on stars, this is such a sick tourney.

Yeah, seriously... this will pay $12,600 to first, which is about what the winner of the 55k guaranteed gets. Talk about a flat payout.

Honestly; I love this. It gives me a chance to exploit the fact that my bankroll sucks and I can get a weekly shot at a much larger than average payday playing against people I'm probably better than.

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

I predict the average stack at the FT of the $10 tourney will be less than 7 bets.

I predict 10K will expand to field of 16 very quickly.

I don't mind, the sats to it are 2.20, which means 2 in 11 get by; it's going to be incredibly incredibly soft, and pays out huge; this means both that I can sat in cheaply and the field will be filled with those who have satted in cheaply, meaning soft soft field.

Edit: I'm sorry, I need a strong example of why these sats will be soft. The nightly 2.20s bust 60% of their field before the first break. They bust the first 40% before 30 minutes in = this is with 15 minute levels.

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

This is going to get such a sick trny, definitly railing

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

in case u didn't notice... the 100k will have FPP qualifiers (70 FPP satellites now running). so, it will probably have a field of MUCH more than 10k. It says maximum 15,000 entrants...

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

They should lock up one or two seats and have a heads up satellite tourney on saturday... Unless they don't want us donks to play... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I just heard about this today and all the seats were full before I had a change to dig through couch to come up with enough change for the buyin... Clearly, this elistist tourney is communist at it's finest...

Oh well, at leat they have $11 donkfest gazillion seat gurantee to heal my wounds!!!!

It's not as flat as you think it is. This kind of thing always happens with extremely large fields.

Still, the 1st sats took almost 2 hours to run (with 10 min blinds). That's a long time for a chance at a $9 prize.

Still, this is going to be a super-soft tourney.

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

I am quite surprised that the regular highstakes headsup cash players aren't take part. It's not that different is it? It's a slow structure, and you'd figure that the cash players would be better at headsup than the tournament guys...

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

Also, the Daily Fifteen Grand is very similiar to this new $100k tournament - 10 minute levels, small buyin. The idea behind that was to have a tournament aimed at casual players that won't take too long to finish.

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

When will this $10 donkfest run every week? Saturday / Sunday etc. Thanks folks - no access to the stars client in work.

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

I don't know if I'd say that most of the guys listed are high stakes cash players. As they aren't:

ActionJeff: MTT
AK87: HU SNG
Empire2000: Cash
EmpireMaker2: Cash
lftarii: HU SNG
MrSmokey1: HU SNG & Cash
THAY3R: MTT
westmenloAA: MTT & HU SNG

Certainly a few of them play mostly cash, and obviously most of them will have played cash at some point, but there're a lot of headsup cash specialists that aren't here. There're also a lot of the regular $5k SNG players who aren't here. I wonder if it could reach 16?

[/ QUOTE ]westmenlo is mjorgenson13 on ftp, plays high stakes cash daily.
Action Jeff used to play high stakes cash alot. I think hes doing some midstakes challenge now though(might be wrong?).

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

Menlo isn't a HU SNG player, he's a high stakes cash+MTT player. Actionjeff also has quite a bit of experience playing mid/high stakes cash and I'm sure quite of a bit of deepstacked HU play.

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

AK87 plays a lot of cash, or at least he used to.

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

I don't see why cash game players should have an adventage over a guy like Iftarii who plays high stakes hu sngs all day.

Seems like a pretty impressive field. I dunno what kind of hu experience Thay3r has. Kinda suprised to see him up there.

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

It's now 16 max. Sick

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

30 minute levels and 10,000 starting chips. How long do you figure the average match will last? 2 hours? Maybe more?

4 rounds (with 16 players) - what do you figure? Over/Under of 10 hours for the tourney?

With this structure, I don't know if they can go higher than 16 runners. 32 max...

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

I really hope this tourny becomes a regular thing and doesn't drop off the radar at all. I plan on giving this a go when I get back from vegas.

Re: Stars announces 10K weekly HU MTT
 

Will they allow final table chops?

It would seem very odd to me to enter a HU tournamnet only to make the final HU match and ask for a chop. You would think that most who put up the $ to enter this thing would only do so b/c they thought they were a favorite to win and would not want to chop once they made the final match.
