Hi there title says it all, I always hear that the Sunday million is always a weak tournament so if that's true will the 5m be even more softer? I'm not that good but if the fish ratio will be so high im thinking it might be ok to take a shot? Thoughts?

Yes, the 5M will probably be softer. A LOT of satelites are running daily. Also hundreds of shoot outs. Prety sure it will be softer then the sunday million.

Fish can be and the more the number of players increases and therefore the chances are dwindling.

Yes, for sure it will be even softer than normal.

It is for sure a good investment to make if you can afford to, or sell some action in the staking thread. I think I'm going to be selling some of mine too.

Yes, ITM you can see the chances are good, there will be many satellits and cash players.. But the final table will be as usual, only regulars..

Somewhat softer, but I don't think it has much of value playing even now in comparison to other networks majors. I might play it anyways, since I have one spare Sunday Million ticket in pokerstars and could use it for VERY long shot to make terrible poker year a good one.

the field will be so massive that the chances or having a big hit on the money are almost imposible....

Over the last few years prize pools of big events are almost always bigger than the guaranteed, so the field of this week Sunday 5M is expected to be at least 25K. This is huge, can be life-changing opportunity. I'm a little bit sad that Pokerstars does not give away any satellites for CardChat.

Beside the huge swing, there is a big differences of skill levels in the tournament. Lots of fish getting there by satellites, but there are also a lot of professional players, both live and online. Last week saw Martin Stazko (2nd place in 2011 wsop main event) take down Sunday Warm-up. A week before that Jorryt van Hoof (3rd place in WSOP ME this year) was the champ. Obviously there are a lot of pros out there who wants to stay anonymous in the online world. So I don't think there is easy money. You have to play well and get extreme luck to win.

Good luck guys!

Just hard to get the final table, Sunday Storm similiar field size but less quality and my best result somewhere around the last 200 and I'm trying for years...

The number of players will be over 24000 players, so you will find different style of play and it should be softer than usual, but making a huge amount of win ( or riching the final table ) will be harder.

I dont think SM is basically a weak tourney. Buyin is $215, so ppl dont register there just for fun IMO. But now since prize pool is 5M and it's holiday season, there will be much more players including much more hobby players so yeah this will be a "weaker" tourney than the regular ones. :)
Btw I tried a few satellites but I couldnt make it so it seems I wont be there. :/

This tournament will be more than 25,000 players and of course it will be weaker than usual.

Hello, Well i can tell you that the Sunday Million IS NOT a weak mtt yes there are thousands of fish playing it however every single top online pro WILL ALSO be playing it and generally if you make the money it is extremely difficult as a mtt with 6000 players usually weed out the fish by the time your in the money. I shipped that mtt in 2007 and can tell you it was not easy and took about 20 hours. Play your A game and you will be fine
