Now this week the Daily Dollar is going to take like 20 hours to finish instead of 10 because there will be twice as many people playing in it.

Not really. This does not fill up all the time now. I see big overlays, +ev.

If within your BRM, there are Sats into the Double Deuce for $2 + $0.20 & the top 10% get a seat (when I won an entry there were 68 peeps & the top 6 got a seat & 7th got $).

There's also 36-peep $0.75 + $0.15 SO SNGs with a seat going to 1st...I liked the SO @ the initial table since the next table = Final Table; although the game is fun I wasn't able to take 1st for the seat (& anything below 3rd gets an airball) even though I consistently made the Final Table.

There may be other Sats as well but these are the 2 I've played in before (instead of being hooked on phonics I'm hooked on Satellites :p).

Twice as many will not equal 'twice as long' (ie. players will be going out at twice the normal rate in early levels). I'd guess it'll be maybe 20% longer than usual (at the most).

That's true PO, I was just making kind of a sarcastic statement about how long the Daily Dollar usually takes. It is the best +EV tournament for the money, but it is overkill on the time(but I guess you have to put in the time for the big ones)

Time to replenish the tokens for next week. I've got some $75 tokens but out of the $26's and wouldn't mind having a bunch on hand to take a shot at what I'm hoping will be a bit of overlay....weeee!!!!

I guess there'll be loads of overlays, but my guess is FT will be running even more satellites at much lower stakes than normal to try and get the tournaments to fill up.

While were talking about tournaments though, can only explain to me why the Big Double A and Big Double B on Full Tilt (commence at 22:00 and 22:02 server time) are $60+15 when most tournaments at that level are $69+6 or $60+5?

On the Daily Double tournaments, a portion of the fee is donated to the bonus prize money.... ie. double cashing, best double finish.

KOed 670th/1798 by Jc.8c (button)...had Kc.Kh with 4xBB raise...OP shoved all in after Flop = Qc.9h.3c...Turn = Ac...River = 6d. :( OP had been playing paint.paint-off so had him/her on a pair of Qs @ Flop & misread all in as a steal (due to overbetting pot).

Double Guarantee doesn't really change Ferguson NLH since it generally has 1K+ peeps...will try Ferguson Razz &/or HORSE since that tends to have a smaller field with $250 guaranteed generally...so will be $500 this week..

Hope everyone else did better.

You did better than me. Out 772 when my aces ran into a set and I just couldn't give the guy credit. UGH. :( Ya noticed the double guarantee on the Ferguson was kinda pointless cuz over 1k people enter.
