By far the tightest online game i've ever seen

I'm playing in the 10k fantasy freeroll on ftp. Started with 207 players, top 90 get paid. By the first break we're only down to 171...that's 36 gone in one hour. I know this is because the payout is such a high percentage, you could literally fold to the money....but it's very nice, feels like a live game.

Wow I've never seen that tight of play online.

The play was really tight for the first while because a lt of people registered, but didn't show up.

My starting table had 4 people sitting out. Since it was a double stack tournament, it took a long time to get the ghosts out.

Play during the second and third hour was a little more normal (I went out in 15th, not sure how the last couple tables went)

I feel that the tight tournaments like these have the most realistic betting patterns...everybody is not chasing and gambling, much more logical play

90 spots paid for 207 entrants? Wow. Wish all tourneys were like that. I almost always make the final third at least in the few tourneys I have played over the last couple of months. Not that I am a poker god, I just fold a lot.

I really enjoyed those. It was interesting when 3 or 4 players weren't there... I had one where one guy had 3 blanks to his left, so it was like getting 4 buttons in a row. The rest of us felt the need to challenge him more or he would scoop up most of the dead money. So it was different style of play. Fairly solid though.

In the first one I played in, one of the AFK players at our table made the money. It was so funny. It won the all in with the BB 3 times in a row.
