Hello.
I'm struggling to find MTT's that close on a specific time. I'm a pokerstar player and i'm playing the micro limits. I think it any given day around 3 hours between each other there is a specific buy in and tournament start time and like to play these tournaments.
However the thing that is really beginning to annoy me is the amount of "guranteed 4k,2K,etcetc" tournaments that are going on and ALL have a late registration of around 60 minutes. Now, don't get me wrong i do play in these sometimes purely because there are so many of them available and next to none of the others but given a choice i'd pick a tournament that started at a time and if you miss out you miss out. Then you could just sign up to the next one that is available, which would be within 5minutes the way they push all these guaranteed joke tournaments around.
The way they go about these guaranteed amounts available is so stupid it's annoying. They make out like your getting some sort of great deal and brilliant tournament of a guaranteed 4k with only a buy-in of $1..but the reality is often it surpasses that amount with the huge amount of people registering late.
Do they seriously think they are dooping people into thinking they are grabbing a great MTT tournament deal? It's pathetic and it irrates me, not because people keep signing up late but because of the fact the way they display it and basically it's more of a scam to a degree in the sense of "hey, come join this tournament there is a great 4 k guaranteed no matter how many people sign up"
The point is, they could just as easily set tournaments that have a start time and all the money pooled is split like a normal tournament. I so much pre fare that, at least you know on average how long the tournament is going to take. One minute your playing along with late registration get into top 100, see that another 500 people have registered and i'm thinking you may as well just all sign up 1 minute to go as it seems so totally pointless.
Sorry, just a rant but id sooner see more hundreds of specific start times to a tournament rather than full with these "guaranteed" jackpot amounts like 100 to 1 in comparisons to a "normal" tournament.
I bet they would soon stop these tournaments of guaranteed amounts if there was only 10 people signing up!
Arrrrrrggg!
Is it just me or does it annoy anyone else this much?
ps: Yes i do play SnG's more purely because of this, you know how many are registered etc. I'd be quite happy to play SnG's all the time, i just pre fare larger tournaments of around 500-900 players and the only one they have is the 2cents mega turbo rubbish which is just more lottery game than anything else.
