Should I withdraw from The Record Breaker

#1 19th July 2009, 4:35 PM

Started with a 25 dollar bankroll, up to 32 dollars. Sattied into The Record Breaker in a 60c sattelite.

Had an awful day at the tables yesterday and down to 16 bucks. Should i withdraw from The Record Breaker and get the 5 dollars credited to my account? It seems the 5 dollars is better served resuccitating my BR and that 5 bucks is out of BRM to be playing a MTT with...

Or is this prize pool so gigantic it's worth me playing?

Thoughts?

*** How difficult do you think it will be to end up ITM? At a $5 buy-in will this really end up a donkament?

Just my opinion, everybodys got one, lol.

I would play it!

The 5 bucks would help you for anymore down swings that you might have, but not that much.

And if you make it in the top 7500 you get 15 bucks I think. If your a good solid player and pick your spots early on, I think you can make it there.

Good luck which ever way you decide.

From a BRM perspective seems like a simple decision, take the $5.

#4 19th July 2009, 5:06 PM

I say play it. I am playing it. Yes I would not normally buy in maybe, but I satty'd in as well from the freeroll. The way I look at it is free entry to do something I prob would not normally.
It is totally up to you and good luck if you play

That's what led to this crossroads. Trying to decide how easy it'll be to end up ITM. Also, I'm trying to grind the 2NL table up until the tourney to see how high I can get the roll to. Up to $17 so far.

50,000 entrants 7500 payouts. that a payout ratio of 6.6666 to 1 that's pretty good odds. I say play it i am going to.

#7 19th July 2009, 6:23 PM

You are getting double pay out odds in this. $5 x 50 k people ... $500k payout. That should help you make the decision ... you dont see that too often. And you can tell people you played in the 2nd largest field in online poker ..... pokerstars has 65k people in a $1 buy in ( payout $130k )

I'll be in both so maybe I'll see you at a final table .. or 2 ??

#8 19th July 2009, 6:30 PM

This was a tough one for me as I think this is an excellent tourney with great potential return, but I don't think you should be investing that much of your bankroll on any tourney no matter how great the payout is.

If you decide to play though, good luck.

#9 19th July 2009, 6:34 PM

Play it. If you win you'll get an 8000% ROI.

#10 19th July 2009, 6:47 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you unregister from a tournament, you only get T$ right? So, you couldn't use the $5 to play at the cash tables.

Also, it shouldn't be to hard to make the top 7500, then you just over 15X your money.

If he satellited in then you are correct. But he could still be more selective with the tourney $'s. $5 represents a huge chunk of his bankroll and he might feel he's better off playing 4 or 5 1$ SnG's.

Ya, he satellited in. It only cost him $.60 In my opinion, the risk vs reward is strongly in his favor to play. Because in actuality, It only cost him $.60 not $5.

Didn't know that. Decision made, I'll play. Provided I can be home for the whole thing :P

Thanks for the info and input guys, I was on the verge of withdrawing, thinking I could use the 5 bucks at the table.

#14 19th July 2009, 7:00 PM

I Think you should stay in the game. 7,500 getting paid and 250K added you cant beat that. You might be able to build a real BR through this game. You have to take some chances.

And paying that rake? Yuck. If the T$ is only good tour tourneys there really is no better opportunity.

You started with $25,so you are grinding down at the moment.

I qualified but just unregistered because the game will start at 21:15 here and I must get up at 5am.

Chances are low that I could float in.

Good luck to all of you in, take it down- I need some sleep, too.

I would play it if it was mid-day, though.

#18 19th July 2009, 7:23 PM

its going to be a REAL DONKFEST, withdraw and save the 5 bucks, IMO its not worth the aggrivation your gonna go through, just my Opinion, buck
saw 1 somewhere, think it was FT, 65,000 entered,,lol,,

#19 19th July 2009, 7:26 PM

play in the pokerstars record breaker which is bigger and record setting for a buck instead!

#20 19th July 2009, 7:28 PM

Go for it! You won the entry so why not give it a try. It will be a fun tourney!

#21 19th July 2009, 7:36 PM

Take the shot

Your in it for 60 cents & you never know this might just be your day

#22 19th July 2009, 7:38 PM

Got 15 hours theoretically to play? Then stay. Otherwise unregister.

#23 19th July 2009, 7:55 PM

GO FOR IT......stock up on coffee,snacks and other essentials for a (hopefully ) very long session and G'Luck !!

#24 19th July 2009, 10:47 PM

Hehe It's afternoon for me (I'm EST just like FullTilt is) and so I played. Out in 12,405th though Gave it a a good run but no worries here. I brought my roll back up to 25 bucks by coming seocnd in a freeroll before this tourney started.

So back to where I started and at least I got a shot of playing in TRB for cheap

#25 20th July 2009, 12:40 AM

It was a fun tourney. Went out 2411th for $30. Was hoping for better but I guess I can't complain.

Close, but it's really 1 out of 6.66 players make the money. So 5.6:1

15% pay structure, aren't most tournaments 20%?

Lol, nice

#28 20th July 2009, 2:01 AM

To cash out the $5, what are u gonna use it on? Cash games? U mite jus loose that $5 then feel even worse. Play the MTT. Jus play tight solid game of poker n ur GTD ITM, u never know u mite make it onto the final table or even better, win it!

#29 20th July 2009, 4:30 AM

I would go for it. If you are a solid player, you shouldn't have too much trouble making it into the money, and five bucks probably wouldn't last you too long anyway

#30 21st July 2009, 10:41 PM

FT didnt even break the record, Pokerstars did. lol

Dont know what happened to the kid but I wouldve kept the $5. These record breakers are donkfests and the $5 could be used for other mtts or sngs.
