20K on Pokerstars

So I started playing in the $3 rebuy 20K guaranteed on Pokerstars earlier.
Started with 2869 players.

Pays to 549, 1st place $5648

currently 61 out of 517 left.

NJ snake and GL...I busted out
1200 or so in the very same one tonight. Made a donkey call w/TT vs KQ on a Qxx board.

again GL!

Good luck mrsnake, hope you get the 5K plus payday.

TY, still going.

I'll come check in on you, hope your doing fine.

26 out of 284

you're slaughtering 'em, snake!

Keep it up and GL...

uurg, misplayed about 3 hands in a row, lol. Still in it though.

Well, I can't type, in the chat, because I don't have enough money for that I guess (need enough for buyin, and I definitely dont have that), but good luck.

KE
KEEP IT GOING I JUST HAD AN INCREDIBLE RUN MYSELF turned 5$ free into 203$ hehe..sorry to put that in ur thread but im ****kken jazzed !@ GL AND WIN THAT BABIE

ty

Ok all done with that. Actually I don't think it's worth it. It pays too many spots so there is no real money paid till the final table. When you finish 76 out of 2863, $53 seems like a pretty small payout, lol.

Anyway was getting short stacked and called an all in with KQ of spades. Lost to Ace Jack of diamonds.

Thanks to all that watched and were rooting for me, see ya at the Sunday Million.

Snake I would like to say I'm sorry, I feel responsible for you going out of this tournament.

I noticed this thread and decided that I'd go check it out and railbird a little, the second I showed up, you went all-in and lost

I never realized the full extent of my bad luck, it's like the plague.

LOL, yes it is all your fault. It couldn't possibly be mine.

"It pays too many spots"

my sentiments exactly. i would LOVE a tourney (especially low buyin) where a 1k tourney paid top 20 or something

This one payed the top 580 or so. The top 10% would be about 280 so you really get about half the money you should when you get "in the money". It get frustraating when you make the money at 580 and you have to beat anouther 570 players to cash more than $100, lol.

did you win any money?

Yes, 53 whole dollars for coming in 73 out of 6800, lol.

wow. 53 bucks is good. they always have a millon players in theire tourneys there

yeah, but they need at least -some- tournies with tough payout structures. like ones that pay top 3%-5% very heavily. because if you look at a tourney that pays the top 10%-14% a large chunk of the prize pool is wasted ;/

for instance, in this $20 freezeout im looking at now, top 16% are paid (135 out of 838). if they moved it down to top 5% paid (top 41)

$1106.16 from 91-135 get $25.14
$871.52 from 90-64 get $33.52
$712.30 from 63-46 get $41.90
$175.98 from 45-42 get $58.66
---------
$2,865.96

more would go to the top 41 that is wasted on people that wont even recognize their cashing as a real win anyway. that's an average of an extra $69.90 per top 41. that means the bottom spot getting paid is getting over $128, which seems much more like a win when investing $20 than $25

I agree joosebuck, most standard tourneys pay out about 10% or so which seems about right. Just getting into the money isn't much but you don't have to make the top 5 to have a decent cash compared to you outlay. These large MTTs with thousands of people pay out to about 20% which means you don't get into any real money until very late, usually about the top 3-5. The worst part is there is very little difference between finishing 50th and 500th.

Great job Snake, just got home and saw this up. Damn seems like you cashing big time in the past weeks wtg bro, I rail the million and you did great, keep it up dude that BIG ONE is coming your way

Thank you, I'm stellited into the million again this Sunday so maybe this could be it.

just reading this now,, very nice job snake,,, well you made about 17 times your buyin, better than losing, rite?/ Keep-a=goin MrSnake
