2011 OLC Event 6 - $55 High Rollers

[rcon]

10 min levels is fairly standard. what isn't standard is 888 jumps the blinds a little quicker than on some site. I'd have to actually do some research to confirm that, but it certainly "feels" true

I was just about to register for this but I noticed it's only 3K start stack and 10 min blinds... for $55???

What's the go? Even the main event is 5k SS and 20 min blinds..

an extra $20 to play turbo bingo? hmmm... not for this little black duck. Shame really. I was looking forward to having a good Sat night of online poker.

BTW What's with 888PL's perception that 5K is a "deepstack" anyway?

You guys are providing laugh's a minute today.

What is your perception of a deepstack Pete? As long as you have 100K in chips at the start it's a deepstack?

As to turbo tournament for the high rollers? Looks like a pretty standard structure to me, that doesnt allow any errors to be made, which is exactly what I wanted in a HR

I will 5k with blinds starting at 10/20 over 10k starting at 25/50 any day.

I think the expectation is that for $55 there'll be less bingo and more actual skill.

I almost positively 100% wrong though.

Your playing aren't you Pete

we are after all, the best

Looks pretty similar structure to last years highrollers which was good fun. Everyone played extremely solid poker and FT was one of the toughest I have played online. Hope for the same tonight.

Because if you have more money then you must have more skill right Or maybe you have more money to throw around and really do not care what happens and are willing to chase that one outer. Maybe we should create a game where you must complete a skill test before playing so we have no non thinking players in it. i wont play in it though because I would get smashed and to be honest at the moment do not think I would even qualify.

Any way back to my tournament i just got BINGO

3k ss people are more inclined to push all in because you have to double up to get to a "safer" chip level to play poker.

Oh ok.
I thought we were playing poker, my bad.
