I see these tourneys also on BlackChip, so it seems a winner poker Network promotion.

starting stack is free (1000 chips) but you can buy rebuy chips and a huge addon 10k for money

Not at the same time, you can only open 1 skin at a time.


If you have ACR open and then try to open BCP you will get a message that only one instance of their software can only be opened at one time.

Why would you want to play them on both, did you want to have 2 bites of the cherry.

PokerHost suddenly drops "freebuy" MTT's

I know PokerHost gets a bad rap. Since moving from the merge network, things have not seemed to improve at all for this site. I doubt this kind of management thinking helps....

A few days ago I logged on to see what kind of games they have and was surprised - shocked actually - to see a cascading set of what they were calling "freebuy" games; games with large guarantees, free to enter. How big? Well, the ones I missed were already off the list, but 1,000/2,000/6,000/12,000/25,000. You got 1k in chips to start, 10 minute levels, and rebuy amounts that varied (smaller prize pool = smaller rebuy amounts and vice-versa).

The stunning part was certainly not that none of them made enough to cover the guarantee, nor that they have canceled the remaining games (no more 12k or 25k, no duh right?) but rather how could they not know they could never get enough rebuys and add ons to cover the prize pool? The 6k I played in had no less than 3700 players. I entered for free and made it all the way to 180 before going out (payouts started at 144 players) without spending a dime on rebuys or add ons. They did not even come close to breaking even, despite 700+ rebuys and 90 addons.

This was a huge waste of the sites money. Since they have cancelled the remaining scheduled games, one can only assume they actually thought they had enough traffic to hit the guarantee via rebuys and add ons. After all, if it were a "loss leader" type of deal to generate interest in the site and get new depositors, then they would still be on, wouldn't they? Since they have been scrapped, this means they actually thought this would work. Amazing.

Even worse, some people who might have deposited will invariably be upset that the 12k and 25k was dropped, and most likely will not deposit now, assuming the large guarantee games they see coming up might simply be cancelled due to not enough players entering. We regular players/enthusiasts get the why and the what of it, but newbies don't.

I wonder if we have a PH rep on here who might explain this debacle?

The Freebuys are still up at ACR and I plan on playing in the $8000 one today. The one you posted a screen shot of I played in and finished in the top 100. Unfortunately I only won $12 :(

I can't believe GOLDEN GAME finished so high. I think I was watching a table where he went all in with some garbage hand like 8 2. At least I finished in the top 100 but only for $12.

Yes, I just got an email. Sadly, I cannot use ACR since I have Poker Host.

So, ACR is still in it? rats!

"$6,000 GTD Freebuy ($3 R/A) on Wednesday, March 18 at 2:30 pm EDT (8:30 CET)"

I tried this one yesterday..my intention was to be verry tight for the beginning ( my balance is 0$ i have my account intro CC made now 2 days) , for 2 blinds i didn't play no hand...after i tripled up...the game works good. I was out in first hour with KJs vs AQo...the god a pair rivered. But there are fine....you could win 1200$ with no investment :D. And if you'll try daily with discipline you could make ITM for shure! I'm in the period of preparation....but i want to start a challenge in here with this kind of tournaments :)

Just another gimmick.

Give me huge overlays, nice structures, consistent payouts and the best software.....give me Merge.

I guess i'll check them out, but much like the freerolls there simply isn't much value when dealing with HUGE turnouts like that.


Guys, go ahead and take the plunge with a deposit; it's a hobby, you're supposed to spend money on your hobbies.

I have played in a couple of these, but have had to miss the last two due to prior requirements. Really looking forward to these bigger events. Granted you only start with a 1,000 chip starting stack, but these are basically freerolls with HUGE prizepools! Someone with a small bankroll has a chance to start a nice bankroll in these games. Congrats to Kole and soul on their deep runs and nice cashes! I have seen a few other familiar names making some deep runs in these. I hope to have a nice cash of my own to add to this thread sometime shortly!
