2+2ers at FTOPS Razz - 11/8 - 9pm eastern

[RustyBrooks]

Yeah, I played 3 $75 satellites and found the play to be far worse in 2 of them than I was accustomed to at 1/2. (Those are the ones I made 3rd in). The 3rd one was pretty decent, at least my table (and it had twice as many people as the ones I played before). I actually only played that many of them because I cashed in the first 2, but didn't get a seat so I kept going.

With a $3k-4k bankroll, I wouldn't play $100 tournaments either... but I'd play one big one a year, if I thought it would draw some soft competition. Even the FTOPs satellites are way out of my bankroll at $75. But I decided I could suck it up and lose up to $75 for a chance at it.

Edit: I do assume I'm dead money in FTOPs though. But damn I'd like to play in it.

No, Michael Craig is dead money. You would be solidly +EV vs. the field I expect. So if you can put together some more backers, my 25% staking offer stands.

An overlay looks probable. 100k guarantee, only 53,7000 in the pool so far. They need 333 1/3 players to avoid the overlay, but there are only 179 so far. Figure 100 or so will come in at the last minute, I'd guess there will be a 10.8k overlay at a minimum, possibly as big as 30k.

[RustyBrooks]

Yeah I was just speculating on that with a friend.

The biggest overlay I ever personally saw was when Mansion poker had a big series of guaranteed money events and no one showed up. There was a 20k *ADDED* event with a $100 buyin that only managed to rustle up about 50 people. I'm no NLHE specialist (I was grinding limit holdem at the time) but I was like, sure, why not... I think I finished 9th for a pretty nice chunk.

tell me about it. Where were all the backers when I wanted to play the HORSE WSOP event? i think I can afford to satellite in for $75 bucks [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Speaking of which I never dropped below the 20BB threshold in my satellite win. I thought that was pretty cool, put a smile on my face. Its nice to run well when playing razz.

[RustyBrooks]

Well, I'm officially going to play. Right now I'm wavering between paying 25% or 50% of the entry. I'm swafjto on full tilt and obviously I'll need more rail support than TT, SG or Sp00n.

My plan is to run really, really well. Mid last-month I had a 1 week period where I hardly ever lost a hand. I was a god among mice. It was awesome. So I'm trying to remember what I had for breakfast that week. Probably nothing, so I'm off to a good start.

there won't be an overlay, too many of us tourney donks think we're +EV in a game no one knows how to play (may or may not be true.)

I'll reg for this later, provided I remember to, heh.

willing to take 50% action of yours rusty, I'll pay 100% of entrance
