Is there anything hidden in terms of service that says we need to become paying members after the introductory period? Or we need to send them some % of our winnings?

However, I do like the sounds of the tourney, so I may need to check it out.

Also, any idea how long this will be going on?

not sure about the membership details, and to be honest i didn't realize that commitment was neccessary, thankfully effexor found and posted those details, i apologize.

i beleive Pokerstars has these tournaments running nightly until friday. sept 15, or at least that is when they have them announced until.

Once again i apologize for the left out info, and sorry to those who feel i mislead them, it was not intentional.

No worries here. I doubt anyone feels you were misleading them. I was just asking the questions as I have a natural cynical side to me. (Of course everyone should be aware that a pessimist is just an optimist with experience. ).

I'm in the one coming up shortly at 21:30 (ET). I think I saw brutus registered...didn't see any other familiar names. Don't be chicken, JD, get on in there!

Chicken? Me? Bawk, bawk, bawk. That's what I have to say to you.

LOL...I'll be there. Find me as JD Old Num 7!!!

Well I played the one tonight. Not my night.

UTG+1 raises standard raise PF, I call with 77.

Flop is Q82, I lead out with a feeler bet, villian smooth calls.
Turn is a 7. I bet the pot, he calls.
River is a blank, I go all in, he calls showing pocket Queens. I'm out.

tough one effexor, turning your set, you have got to think you have best, tough luck, get'em next time

PS, hope to see you all in the titan freeroll today, my 1st time in it, looking forward to it, should be a lot of run

thanks for the info, i will hopefully be able to get in one this weekend

Just thought of a good idea........

You are only allowed to register in 1 of these tournaments. (as Effexor has shown above, therefor if you play in one that runs late this week or even this weekend the number of players is going to be a lot smaller.

For example one is currently registering and has 9 mintutes left untill game time, only 600 playerts registered, where as early in the week it was close to 2000.

still a prize pool of 5K+ but 2/3's less donkeys and fish to battle through....

just thought i would let you all know, so for those who haven't played one yet, they can hopefully have a massive payday for 1$ (minus my 10% cut of course) just kidding!!!

GOOD LUCK!!

I didn't realize that we could only play once. i was just sitting here banging my head on the desk because I missed the registration by about two minutes. Arrgghh.

But if I couldn't get in anyway, then it doesn't matter. Thanks for the info. Guess I'll just have to live with a 5th place finish. Rats.
