Ji all just wanted to note a weakness in the games on Merge Carbon... I have been winning a lot of satelites from $200 Free rolls and noticed that there are really soft $11 buy in touneys during the day. It seems others have like 5 tables running at once and auto shove 44 plus hands. I already won a $60 entry in a $11 buy in and then promply bubbled in the $60 tourney in 10th place - 9th place paid.$120.
Then I played in a $11 $1,250 guaranteed freeze out (I stay away from rebuys as I dont want to invest more $).. Check the only hands I played... I won with KK all-in, QQ on small stack all in to get to $12k..I then lost with AA to 88 donky who shoved $5k all in pre flop (he hit 8 on flop)...BUT I easily got back up to $25k with KK, AK hands. and thats about all I played ...6 hands and I took 9th out of 120 players for $31.50 cash. All I can say is pay the $11 or use those $11 satelites during the day - scout the weaker guaranteed tourneys with overages but I like to see 10 spots paid per 55 players entered or so. Thats usually and easier cash most of the time. The ones that are top 9 paid or top 5 get a litttle varianced for my liking and I dont have enough time to play hundreds of these things.

On any of the smaller US-catering sites I imagine the play is pretty weak, mostly because the stronger players should be dominating on PStars Party etc. I just started out on Carbon and I hope that I can replicate your success, though you seem to be on quite the run-good streak.

the $11s are super soft because most of them that enter are through the seats the the freerolls give away
