I was keeping the first place on the bubble. Then ITM started and I got a message "congrt and blabla" so they gave me only 6$ ticket, the tournament didn't go on, it stopped when there were 113 players?? No one cent was sent to me. And that happens second time, Can it happen because I didn't activate my count? I have never made a deposit, I set up this client a couple of days ago

looks like you played in a "satellite" to another tournament. You use the ticket to enter that tourney.
These satellites typically don't pay any cash

The Venom

This tournament is a satellite for The Venom, there's 6 step (6 satellites), you just won 1/6 step, to see the tickets check : My account - Ticket management, you will find the ticket, you can register to 2/6 step, you have to win 6/6 satellite to win sign up for The Venom, good luck :)

I'm beginning to understand why some people in this tourney are playing like they aren't on a bubble at 120ish players. It's because they don't realize they're on a bubble.

Read the lobby before you play a tourney. Know the parameters under which you are playing. This was a freeroll Step 1/6. The top 113 finishers got tickets - congratulations. When you play Step 2/6, only 25 top finishers get a $16.51 ticket to Step 3/6.

In equal ticket payout tourneys the guy who finishes in "X" position gets the same ticket as the guy who finishes in 1st - where X equals the number of equal tickets. Don't blow off your stack trying to finish first when 113th, or 25th will do. Expect people to play like 113th (or whatever) is the goal - because it is.

EDIT: ACR puts the ticket value in your account like it was cash - but it's not. Don't try to use that $6.61 as if it were cash.

Certainly no need to apologize (unless you knocked me out in 115th). Just be aware of what you're playing. On ACR, click that "Prize Structure" button to see what's what. For the Venom Steps series, all payouts are equal. You don't get any money until you are playing the last tourney, on a Sunday for millions of dollars. And remember, your account will show tickets won as dollars - you must subtract the value of tickets found in "Ticket Manager" to know your real balance.

I don't think this is right. At least on my account it doesn't do that. The tickets I have won in the step freerolls have all just been tickets in the ticket manager section in the cashier, and they didn't ever add the amount that the ticket was worth into my account balance.

Also, you can win cash in some of those venom step games. Sometimes there will be a cash prize for the last place finisher who makes the "money" in last place. That is why you will see people going all in after the bubble bursts, they are trying to go out in last place so they can get the cash prize instead of the ticket.

I forgot about the cash for bubbling money. But I've recently looked at my "Transaction History" and it's a nightmare of tickets won and tickets used, all showing in the transactions like real money. I'll try to pay more attention at the moment of winning some or buying into a Step to see what happens, but I don't think I've won enough cash to justify my current balance. :confused:

You are correct. I watched my balance not go down as I used some tickets. On the upside, I've got about $40 more in my ACR account than I remember winning. WOOT! :cool:
