Merge Tournament Series "Poker Maximus"

I see a Carbon rep has announced merge will be having their own tournament series similar to we're used to on the bigger sites.

March 4-25th, 70 events ranging from $3-215 buyins with one $500 event.

There will be a player of the series award (top three in the standings get paid), accolades for event winners and a "Tournament of Champions" for them as well. Exact schedule has yet to be announced (supposedly later this month + satellites to start running then), but there will be some increases to guarantees - the $109 main event will have 50k to the winner.

Nice, i'm thinking I got to make another deposit for that

Cool - might hit up a few of these!

very nice hopefully have a nice bankroll around this time..hitting up every event!

Looks good, just went over there and read the thread. Sounds like it will be on the whole merge network so glad I got a lil roll on BCP

They have been tooting their horn about how they have grown so it is nice to see Merge finally begin to run a tournament series like a "big network"

Does Merge support come to this forum?

Sounds great! Thanks a lot for sharing... will be checking Merge to find out more about this in the weeks to come.

Updated the OP with link to the schedule. Looks like nothing but nlhe and several omaha events...a few repeated events, one heads up.

Sounds great, but is that just Carbon or is it all merge networks, cause I play at Black Chip and Lock. I would like to get involved in those and sounds fun.

That a good question because I only have money in Lock right now

Yes, its network wide. Wouldn't be able to fill bigger guarantees otherwise.

Too many Deepstack 'Turbos' imo. #*##! Turbos

In

finally a merge promo that looks worth the time

sounds like a lot of fun

Good luck to all who participate in it

Thanks D, answered a big question for me, thanks hope to see you at the tables.

This schedule looks really good. However I would like to know what the structure is for the DS Turbo Freezeouts. What are the starting stacks and blind levels?

Tournaments are now registering. Apparently a few turbos were changed to normal speed (#8,9,10)

Turbo DS give you more chips [5000] but raise the starting blinds (20/40) . The 'depth' is from the smaller blind jumps in the early stages compared to normal turbos (80/160 ante 15 at level 6) - 5 minute levels.

Always like to play a few games in these kind of series. Great job!

Finally reminds me of FTP again

I looked through them and there isnt a single bounty one :[. But this is a very good idea. I might hit up a few low BI ones.

Merge Poker Maximus Schedule

Finally found the schedule for these tournaments. Excited that I can use my tickets for these. http://thepokermaximus.com/poker-tournaments.html

Noticed that late registration times vary from 45 minutes to 2 hours and levels from 5 minutes at the lower buyins to 20 minutes at the higher buyins. Also the different buyins have different blind structures.

Always thought registering at the start of a tourney was the way to go, but with 15 or 20 minute levels and 2 hour late registration, is there a reason to rethink that?

sounds great , ill try few tourny

YEAH BUDDY!!!

Some of these tournments look absolutly amazing... how about a step up from typical sunday 100K for 109, to 150k for 109... ummmm AMAZING! I am stoked for the series to begin makes me wishI didn't have a million things to do with my tax returns I may have invested it for this series... My lady Might though, but she has more time to play than me...DAMN HER. if you ever see FeltLikeIt online say whats up, but if you see GrandmasStew online STAY AWAY LOL:adore:

can't wait for this to start. might have to make my first deposit on lock for this!!
