Big Little Tournament

#1 25th November 2010, 11:29 PM

Thinking of playing this... how would you guys go playing a tournament with 50,000 + players with such a low buy-in ($2 + $.20) ?

Thanks

I'd like to see any suggestions/firsthand experience on this too. I got a ticket for this that I can't change into T$ by unregistering (I won it in an FTP sattelite and didn't realize I'd be stuck with the ticket), so I'm going to have to play it at some point.

I'm thinking it will basically go something like the public freerolls, in which there's going to be all sorts of crazy play all throughout, but particularly so in the beginning.

i played in one already, for the most part its donks and shove fests at first but if u wait awhile for it to cool down and play ur game just like any other tourney
Also i noticed blinds go up real fast so dont wait too long to make moves

#4 26th November 2010, 12:50 AM

Play fast, hard and get lucky. That's what I'm gonna try for

#5 26th November 2010, 2:51 AM

its a turbo tourney so you have to make a move while there are donks still in it. Just play tight early and you should be good.

keep tabs on your stack though.

#6 26th November 2010, 3:34 AM

I'd run real good

#7 26th November 2010, 3:54 AM

I satellited into this through 100ftps buy-in sng. i'm gonna be freerolling this like a typical fish.

#8 26th November 2010, 6:22 AM

Just play it like you would a public freeroll.

#9 28th November 2010, 1:30 AM

Played a few. Be patient, but when you got it pray it holds up. Less than an hour and you should be cashing.

Ship ur stack in when u think ur a fave n hold up. Expect alot of donkeys in this + it's a turbo so u can't play too tight.

Only on Full Tilt. Pokerstars can handle that and more much faster. I shouldn't complain because I actually got seated and can see my table. Sometimes people don't.

#17 28th November 2010, 5:59 PM

I'm in for 30 cents. Could really use some of the $. GL all.

#18 28th November 2010, 6:03 PM

lol, I'm sure FT can handle it as well, but I think they're giving everyone time to settle in and gear up.

GL everyone!

Im out. Just so yall know, you can blind out of the BLT in under 2 hours, LOLZ. Played cash late into the night last night and didnt feel like getting up for a $2 donkument that I got in for free. Maybe next time. Good luck to those still in it.

On teh west coast btw..

#30 28th November 2010, 8:36 PM

bleh. i'm finally out. 800th place or somewhere around there. won $15. still happy since it was a freeroll to me.

#31 28th November 2010, 9:24 PM

Finished 4353rd for $4.79 . KK losing to AT crippled me then had to shove with JT.

#32 28th November 2010, 10:22 PM

eh, tourney started at like 4:00am for me here. decided my sleep was worth more than the hassle, so i am guessing i got blinded out around 10,000 or so. i probably should have unregistered last night when i realized i was dead tired.

good luck to anyone else still going, and congrats to those that cashed!

#33 28th November 2010, 10:29 PM

Managed to cash for the minimum. Happy with that I guess. Lot of people going all-in with crap just like a freeroll. At the start of the game I had 3 players sitting so I was able to get some chips early.
