I am just getting back to playing on line--I quit after BF, am playing now on ACR.

I also went and reinstalled a old Merge room I played on "Players Only", thought I had a couple bucks left--I did $4 and 1800pts-still there believe it or not after a year.

"I am rusty, and still a crappy tournament player"

With Poker Maximus breaking all their guarantees, Should I use these funds for one $5.50 and $11 tournament or should I try to satellite into multiple $11 tourneys, or go for a $60 or larger ticket?

I don't plan on reloading this account, what would you do?

So you don't plan on re-loading but you don't care if you bust (< is this what you're saying?).
I'd play the two Maximus tourneys > $5 & $11

(I've got a few small merge accounts & this is what I'm planning on doing with each of them... ie. if there's a Cardschat $5 tourney (or freeroll) on BlackChip I'll play it & then will also play a Maximus on BlackChip at the same time, even if it's for the full bankroll... it's so small it doesn't really matter)

Did you just recently open an account on ACR? .. or is it from an old DoylesRoom account? I've heard the payouts are fairly prompt on that site... not like I'd be needing to be overly concerned with that at the moment. Software seems to be improving as well (played on there recently & it was actually bearable.. which is more than I can say for some sites).

I really don't care about the Players account--ACR players are a lot softer than on Merge rooms, so there is where I'll play.

But, if I can cash something on Players I'll use it for ring games there too.

My tournament play leaves a lot to be desired--I usually play tight and build a stack, but when blinds start to add up, I make mistakes. I need a very good run of cards late to cash.

Ring play is where my style is successful.

My ACR is a new account, threw $100 on in a couple weeks ago and have had success, the bonus + rakeback are nice too.

Haven't cashed out yet, but the debit card from the looks of it is the way to go

The software takes getting used to, lots of skips and delayed reactions when navigating around--actual game play is fine.

Do you know of tracking software for ACR? Just want to see who or what I'm playing

Thinly veiled brag, imo:p . Feeling flush at the moment???:p

I believe both of the biggies work just fine. I've heard (don't play there, so don't know myself) that HM works, assume PT3 also. If you don't already have either of them, they both offer a free trial. Download one and give it a try.

With the merge money, I would play three $5 SNGs to try to build it up to something larger. Although I am a bit confused because you say you have $4, but then talk of playing $16.50 in Maximus tournaments. Definitely play as large a tournament as you can with those points. don't just abandon them.

PT3 does work on ACR, however not quite like it does at other sites. You have to manually enter all tourney results.

The lower you play, the less you need be concerned about the level of your tournament game. That said, if the $4 and your points are essentially found money that you don't mind losing, I see nothing wrong with using it to take one or more shots at levels somewhat above where you'd normally play.

I personally wouldn't need to be concerned with a prompt payout from ACR because I have near SFA on there.... just a few bucks leftover from DoylesRoom.(pretty much stopped playing DoylesRoom when it joined with Cake)

The points equaled $18 in tourney entries, I'm gonna wait and use $11 on the March 25th 10K main event. There's a $1 rebuy next Tuesday, I'll use the rest on that, I think I can easily burn 6 or 7 rebuys on that......LOL

sounds like a plan bopo.....setting aside 7 for a dollar rebuy is good so many think that the buyin and addon is all u need these are played so loosely that you really need more.....especially those turbo ones with the 30k add
on and 3k rebuys.....those are off the hook....unless you are in to jumping off bridges.....gl in all your endeavors.

Just found out the $11 Maximus tourney on the 25th is now a $50k guarantee---anyone else with a ticket should save it til then. :)
