Probably could have played for a lot longer. I had 50K and donked it off with an all in reraise on the flop and a pocket pair of 10s and a tight player betting a Q board but my ass was so tired and I was bored. $6 for 6 hrs play. Don't think I'll do this one again.

I've been wanting to play a tournament with these levels for a while now, was just preying that FT would run more superstack tournies, but i still have a little bit of a roll on stars. Do you know if these run nightly alon???

Every afternoon i mean, or is it just a sunday only tournament.

I would agree with 032483 that if u dont thinkits worth it to keep playin after 6 hrs this the wrong game for u. Ive been in longer tournys on full tilt where they lasted lik 8-9 hrs. If ur getting tired get some coffee or an energy drink dont just give up.

Exactly my point. I don't like this style of a tourney. I can sit and play all day long but that would be several tournies or rings. Deep stack might be ok live where you could interact with others but in front of a screen it's not my cup of tea. I don't know how much longer it went but I would guess another 4 hours.

Oops, I'm a little short. I checked and this was a 14 hour + touney. Grind , grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, ow, my eye.

I don't know. I stumbled upon it and thought it would be fun.

Sorry switch, no disrespect for not directly answering your question. Yes the money for 1st was decent. It was the same as any other $10 tourney with that amount of people. But to play another 8 hrs with my stack at the time just for the chance was not worth it to me. If I would have doubled up I probably would have just blinded out.

I know what you mean. I typically play micro buyin mtts mostly for just entertainment value. Well I started one at 11pm, and come 4 hours later I was the chip leader. I seriously considered sitting out and going to bed then I asked myself, if someone offered me say 100$ to sit at my computer until 5am I'd do it. So I sat there and ended up winning just about $100.

First place in that would have been well over $2000. If someone told you that they would pay you $2000 to sit at your desk for 6 hours, wouldn't you do it?
