I assume the OP is talking about the weekly round 2 that you have to earn a ticket for. If so, I'll say that the two times I've played in it I've seen people pulling the same crap as they do in the round 1 tourneys - open-pushing with A10 off or KJ soooooted, etc. Kind of surprising to me considering that you have to last for 4+ hours in the round 1 tournaments just to get the ticket.

That being said, I've only done the NLHE round 2 tournaments so far. I still have 6 round 2 tickets that I'm going to burn off in the Sunday round 2 tourneys where they have other games (FLHE, O8, Stud, Stud8).

which is this? the sunday 2k 50 fpp buyin?

I just checked, its the 10:00 rnd 2 and OPer is still in and doing well, good luck. It is like the $1 MTT with quite a few sitting out. Last one I played I pushed overpair on turn after low pair flop and was called allin by gutshot (obv lost or wouldn't rem).

I've only played one of them so far. After playing 5 hours to qualify, I had pocket aces cracked by 56 suited. Just a bit annoying! But in my opinion, the return on the time investment is hardly worth playing.
