just unregister

but yes, i agree that its a bit crappy to advertise that its on and then move it

i was looking forward to these tourneys all week :(

if the grand final one is getting so much overlay, maybe get rid of that one, but i think it would be great if the others stayed. they were getting basically no overlay at all


I did, but now I have deposited my limit for poker (for the week) on a site I barely play, with no real interesting tournaments until Saturday..

I havent played a freeroll in a long time, and play only one or two $2 games a week to make semi finals in case i miss top 5 at a live event. Im sure there are others like me that wouldnt be playing at all if it weren't for these bigger buy in, better structured tournaments.


Same here, i shifted some money over to 888 from another site to play the Online Champs event and was pleasantly surprised with the arrival of good tourneys with a GF ticket as the prize.

I am/was prepared to pump in as many $20 notes as it took to get one!

Bring 'em back................please :)

thanks for the response garth

the fact that similar numbers are playing these bigger buyin events as were playing the smaller ones shows that there is the demand out there.

good point, this has a great structure also (similar length even though it only has a 5k stack, but there is no antes)

These games are definently very well structured, my question was more on the fact that they are currently running as a nightly game but tonights game got moved to the 12th with the others

Pretty cool - The online champs rebuy satellite generated a prize pool of $122 with 16 runners which is nearly 4 $33 seats. Definitely a demand for cash games...
