How do you end a 1st tie tournament?

I have played a few of the 50 seat frenzy tournaments where I have won a $215 seat to the 300k Sunday. I usually try to go out as early as I can after I reach the 1st tie status, because it messes up my stats on official poker rankings.

The reason is that I sometimes look at them for other players and I want to seem like a donk to others looking at them.

I want to hear what you guys do when you reach the 1st tie...

What do you mean when you say 1st tie? You qualified for the next round of the satellite?

i.e. 5 players advance and you are in the final five?

Why not go for the win? go for TLB points imo. Although the points may be hte same for everyone who got the seat, im not sure on that one

Yes, I meant that you get the seat. You don't get anything out of staying, but going out straight away makes it look like a smaller win on official poker rankings.

I try and get the players to agree to play it out, and if they do not want to do that, we just have some fun by going all in every hand. But now, on Full Tilt (the only place I play) they just end the tournament as soon as the seat is won.

If I've made it far enough to tie 1st I'm probably pretty tired. I would just All in my way out.

Bodog does it as well as pokerstars.

I like to get into the sunday 100k sattelite. $2.20. Usually like 180 players, 30 or so places paid. Then unregister and use the 11 T$ to buy into sitngo's and other tourneys.

When it gets down to the number of paid entrys it stops and says you win.

Makes sense just to end the game there - why waste any more server run time on it?

re: How do you end a 1st tie tournament?

Where do you play? Usually the touney just ends when all remaining players have won entry. And As rex said, it shows on OPR as a tie for first.
