So biggest stack will win, even if they aren't necessarily up the most?

[/ QUOTE ]

that is correct.

Am I missing something or won't this be 5 hours of 20k per player coinflips and whoever is up the most wins?

I dont think flipping 20k for 5hours for a chance to get into a 50k HU freeroll will be to profitable.

Methinks DD was using some hyperbole.

With this structure in place, ignoring it and playing no differently than you would without the potential prize would be hurting your chances for sure. The structure forces you to adjust similar to the way ICM does in an SNG.

I think it's a super interesting format which should make for interesting ( and probly hilariously wrong) adjustments...

Re: Highstakes game on ladbrokes
 

Nezzar are there still any high stakes games running on Ladbrokes? Thought the action was quite dead last couple of months. Even seen you playing 1000NL on Stars....

Re: Highstakes game on ladbrokes
 

ladbrokes is pretty dead yes.

I have a friend using that account mostly. The highstakes action on ladbrokes is pretty dead but yesterday we had a full 6-max game on 25-50, usally u can get some action there. once in a while there is 50-100 action. A 200-400 HU game have been a couple of times this year. at least 5 times that i know of.

update II
 

There are 9 out of 12 seats filled now. Tore Lagerborg has been switched against the player known as "pokerkong1" and "kris85" (Kris Kjöndal). TheSalmon or Erik123 is still on as well as Pokergirl1, Nebuchad, Terken89, B60KY1, Theah and as i know Ziigmund has accepted. The last one i dont remember.

Also Mohammade Kwassari known as "Fastfreddie", "Terror of sweden" and "The Terrorist" (not sure about the spelling) will be asked if none of the already accepted players dont have any problem with it.

Just wanted to add something
 

This has also been posted in nvg.

I think its a really cool initiative by Ladbrokes. One term is that if a player leaves after less than 2h30mins of play all eventual winnings will be forfeited. This and the fact that the biggest stack wins will hopefully create some really interesting deep stack poker, which will probably one of the few times, (if not the first time in online history), that this kind action can be viewed.

Has there ever been a 100-200 game that is full? if so, have each and everyone had a stack that is more than 20K? if so, after a few hours of play the stacks will be so deep that this event will surely be unique, no?

Also ladbrokes is working on launching more interesting highstakes events in the near future.

Two hands in response to if....
