So i've seen this tourney lots on full tilt but had never played it. I'm kinda partial to the smaller field tournies with 30-50 players because the prize pools aren't that bad...and the play is mixed depending on the table. Lately i've been doing pretty decently in them.
Tonight I decided to try this tourney out. I'm still in the middle of it, writing this while the first break is going on.
I really think i'm playing a freeroll here based on the plays i've seen. Crazy amounts of all-ins with garbage hands, or hands with very weak kickers. One guy followed two all-in bets holding nothing more then queen/2 suited and fortunately he didn't get paid. I think part of it is because its a 25 cent bounty as well...i've seen people go all in...risking their whole tournament life here...over a quarter..pretty insane.
I'm in the final 20 of 85 players, with the top 10 getting paid. Hopefully i make ITM because the majority of these players really really don't deserve to win based on what i've seen,lol. Just playing a bit tight right now and making decisive plays when I can. I don't really have to raise much because the others will do it for me,lol.
On the plus side i added another straight flush to my list of winning hands. Flopped a straight...then it became a flush...then a str8 flush...was pretty cool. Took one guy down for all his chips with it too.
Its potentially a money making tourney if you play tight...and are ready for some serious bad beats because of bad play.
