Oh yeah ...

989 donkeys on steroids that were laced with adrenalin ... ... and one cat that did a keyboard/mouse mis-click.

...and after a 3 hour donk-a-thon the winner gets like a $1 or something? I guess if you had a little too much to drink and wanted just to have a great time this would be fun.

It doesn't take longer than half an hour, surprisingly. The tourney is the true definition of push-and-ray. It's funny actually, a friend of mine turned $0.11 on Stars into $2.12 with this tourney.

That's good when you have no money. A comeback at this stage feels so good...

Nice find philthy! Just for kicks, I decided to splurge and try it out. Hadn't played on PokerStars since January but I doubt this will be what gets me back playing here frequently - Fun way to wind down or if I feel like playing but on tilt.

I played one of these by accident once. I won it but it was insane. There's virtually no post flop play. There is no such thing as fold equity. You just wait 'til you have a reasonable chance of having the best hand and shove. Don't even think about folding that AJ preflop.

Sounds like a waste of time

Ithink its total bedlam and everyone just allins
Sometimes a good laugh, but sometimes a nightmare when u do get a good hand and you know there is going to be an allins frenzy and you keep gettin beat off poor hand.

Def allin strategy, these stngos basically skip forward from the Early Game straight into late game strategy.

You start with 100 bbs in like 10 mins uve got an M of about 8-10 it's jam or fold then. Def takes alot of the skill out of it but knowing your endgame strategy should show +EV in these donkfests'

You just gotta hope you double,triple even quadruple up quick. So you can wait for some premium hands. Def good wind down tho, or timout if you are steeming.
