wcoop PS

its 1.56am in the UK,
just watchin the wcoop main event
on pokerstars.
the money is getting serious.
14 players left...

3.20am
final table
big money
trying to stay awake

5 left, they are talking about a deal now.

Lol the chip chop that PS is suggesting is so unbelivieably stupid.
One guy has 65% of the chips and accordning to PS chip chop he should get 250000$ more than what 1st pays.
When will they realise that they have to change their system, and start offering ICM deals instead?

edit: ElkY is hosting the final table. Not his fault, but if I was in his situation I would be ashamed for presenting such an increadbly stupid deal and not beeing able to give ICM.

Now the chip leader is suggesting another unbeliveably stupid deal. Giving him way more than 1st.

I would be quite upset with him if I was there.

Yes there was a similar situation at the final table of the $100,000 monthly VIP freeroll, too.

What's the tournament number?

Man I really hope they keep playing and that Danish fish gets knocked out in 5th.

i cannot believe that PS
cannot supply icm numbers
for a deal like that.
no icm calculator ! .....wtf !!!
ridiculous

players agreed a deal.
what a mess!

The chip leader got the best from the deal I think. Slightly more than ICM, but it was quite a fair deal.

Can't imagine paying $5,200 to enter a poker tournament...

They're really into weird bet sizing, especially noticeable now they're HU. The Czech guy likes raising to 222,555 and the Danish guy just re-raised him to 567,890

Yah it is pretty f'n ridiculous for sure. Why does PokerStars not get it together with the ICM chop option? Surely they must've had a zillion complaints about it (saw a couple of other final tables last week where the 'chip-chop' gave the CL alot more than what they'd get if they placed 1st.. so stupid).

Sad to see Mike Leah lose that big pot (AQ v 99.. flops the Ace.. but then Vojta hits a 9 on the turn.. sigh). Would've had Mike tied for chiplead with the fish... & put him in great shape to take it down (he won the Badugi Wcoop this year... was HU with Kevin MacPhee, aka ImaLuckSac).

Would've liked to have seen some of the other players who made top45 make it to the final table. There was one player who placed 26th in this & only had a avg. buyin of $1.50?? wtf is that? (~120 mtt's).. also ~500sng's <$1 avg. buyin with an ROI-29%. How does he get in Top26 in a $5k buyin? Makes no sense?

someone else playing his account ??
not accusing anyone, just popped into my mind
after reading various cheating threads


pokerstars , no icm calculator !!!!

lololololol
ridiculous

please bring back FT, even if they rob us,
i'd still prefer to play on their software. lol.

Well these were his previous 10 tournaments played. And, biggest previous score to date was a 1,888th in the Sunday Storm for $45.42
Looks like he did get a cash in the Facebook PokerLeague 10cent game a couple weeks ago though.

I can't believe PS has to manually calculate these deals. FT had a cool system.
