Exactly.
LOL at someone complaining so strongly about Stars giving him an awesome chip-accumulating opportunity.

"But everyone else got to play on full tables where none of the players were sitting-out!! I had to play heads-up this whole time because 7 other players were sitting-out. Stars sucks for doing something so horrible as this to me!!"

Awesome.

ah i think table balance means just so one table does not have 6 players and another 8 etc.

i dont think they move players for any reason besides that (balance stacks, sitting out, etc.)

is this the 3400 person tourney running now? if it is this was a great opportunity for you to get some chips because in a tourney with this large of a field you are not going to win by playing ultra conserrvative.

This was a MTT. 486 places paid. Still 2500+ players left. Average stack around 4000 or so. I had 9000 playing against 17,000. Was a long way from folding into the money.

Wait, so you are complaining about:

b) an extremely favorable situation

You don't know how to play freerolls if you don't understand the power of "folding into the money."

I mean why win like a couple hundred after playing for 9 hours when you can fold into a solid $5 or $10 payday. I mean this beats working at McyDs anyday.
