I like ACR but they need to improve the tournament schedules. The cash games are soft though.

I play in their freerolls that pay top ten for seats to a 1K trny on Saturday that pay top 100 from $150 to $1.50. First is $150 plus a seat to another trny. I'll say the play is fast but there are a lot of fish that makes winning a little more easy on the most part. I won a couple of seats but didn't make it to any of the descent money. I would recommend the site myself.

I'm going to deposit just to play in that $36+3 250seat satty to their Sunday game (looks juicy). (I've currently only got a few $'s left from an old Doyles acc't.)

I'm going to deposit just to play in that $36+3 250seat satty to their Sunday game (looks juicy). (I've currently only got a few $'s left from an old Doyles acc't.)

Since I discovered the $1r Satellites to the $36+3 that run every hour, I have been playing to get into the 250 Seat Sat so I can have a chance to take down the $250K MTT. :) So after cashing in a couple, and bubbling the seat 3 times, I finally grab a seat, at much less than the $39 cost, then I win another sat which gives me $39 Tournament bucks and now I have more than when I started playing the Sats.

Anyway, as I am playing, I notice several sit outs that never play a hand and go out, it appears to be the same names. I can not figure it out, but I just go ahead and keep playing, thanks for the free money.

Now, I follow many of the sites, and the promotions they offer, so I feel pretty stupid when I go about reading the promotions for the 250K Weekend, and then realize you get points for just entering every one of these 250 Seat Satellites you play. They are giving away $5,000 to the top 75 players. Now I know why they are sitting out, 1st Place is $1000. I thought the $5K Satellite Cup Promotion was for all Satellites, duh.

Of course, when I look up the leaderboard, I see all the sit outs are sitting on top of the leaderboard.

I notice I am sitting in 133rd place, but it is not very far to bottom payment of $25 at 75th place. I figure, what the heck, I will play as much as I can the next two days until the Sats are over. It will help if I can pick up a few more $39 winners, while keeping rebuys to a minimum. (Note it costs $1 to get in, but you are just about 100% required to buy the addon for $2, because they give you $30K in chips)

It pays to read closely all these promotions going on.

Noticed on ACR's Facebook page that if you deposit with code you receive tickets to those $1r/a sattys.

Kinda bummed I haven't taken advantage of this. Right now I've got soooo many bonuses, etc. running that I can't even keep track of them & barely have time to play for any of them :( (another one I've had no time for > intertops mails me a coupon for a 'free $25' on their casino games. Yay... I accept but I don't have time to burn off the free 25, lol).

I have had a nice run with these, 3 seats won, 2 $13 cashes and a $6 cash in the last few days. Wish I had started playing these earlier.

Now, they must have been giving too many overlays away, as the 1r had been run every hour 24/7 w/two seats guaranteed. I see now it is at least once every 2 hours. And they may have discontinued the overnight games this evening/morning (which were very juicy with few players). Will have to see if they show up later.

I just finally got around to getting on there now & there's only two more of those listed for tomorrow at 13:05 & 16:05(est). I imagine they'll be nothing like the ones running earlier in the week (if it's anything like the sattys they had on there for the 250k ~1mth. ago). Wish I'd gotten onto this earlier :(

So I see a $5 deepstack turbo late reg. & decide to get into it, thinking maybe I'll pick up a buyin for that 250seat satty. I thought wrong, lol. Got it in 2x & lost both while ahead 70/30 & 80/20, then won a flip, then watched some of the worst raises & ai calls ever! (ie. 3bet over a SS UTG limper & EP raise in MP with JTo & call two shoves, lolzz unreal bad). Lots of other completely terrible plays as well..... then out in two more allins pre.. sigh. 'gg' :(
I'll be home in time to give the 16:05 a shot as I don't think I'll be depositing for the 250seat satty.

I didn't get home in time to play the last $1r/a. Now with only enough for the buyin & addon for the $4 satty, I probably shouldn't play it... but I can't help myself (means I won't be able to rebuy... have to run good til' the addon).

wtg on the scores in those sattys WEC

Yeah, I marked a lot of the players in those Supreme ******** Donkeys :) A lot of them were plain giving money away, but it stings when they are calling allin with 49 and hitting against your AA.

If you get a chance you should deposit for the 250 seater. At the moment 1 hour and change from the Satellite, only 631 registered for the 250 seats. 1628 players is needed for no overlay.

heh, 3 hours worth of Re-Entry/Late Registration in 250 Seat Satellite to get to 1600 entries) - so far 773

Very Nice Sat with 15 Min blinds that move up slowly and 6K starting chips.

I got hurt early with 10 7s pfraiser beating my two pair AQ, trying to fight back, up to 4700 in chips. Such fools, guy that donked his way to 20K in chips, is playing every hand

I got lucky that Donks are playing and currently up to 10,645. At the moment with just less than an hour left to re-enter the overlay is $22K. These sats they offered (the 1rs w/$5K Leaderboard) plus the 250 Seat Sat to the $250K have to be the best deal in Online Poker this year. If things held up today, I was #59 on the leaderboard and due $25 if I did not get overtaken today. It takes them the next day to update the leaderboard.

They have a couple good players scattered around :)

I was playing a 3 1r1a the other day when I recognized a name. I looked him up and he was a $500K MTT casher on FTP

To show you how nice the structure was in this....2 hours 38 minutes in, the people who did not show up for the seat (I am sure they forgot it was tonight), still have 1.4 and 1.2K in chips left.

The 250K should be as nice on Sunday w/10K Starting same 15 minute blind levels

Finally Late Registration is closed after 3 hours 10 minutes. Still end up $18,650 overlay. 975 Total Entrants

Now, with 317 left, I gotta fight to get to the last 250 players. Lotta chips on the table so it isn't gonna be a breeze. $8785 241st Place... at break

I hope the owners have a lot of money in their pockets

Yeah, I needed to pick up one by my calculations.

Just horrible play, these guys that are automatically in keep playing. That is the kind of play that gives a seasoned Sat player a lot of help.

Thank You for the kind words

edit: As I watch, it may be close to where I need another one as it gets down to the end
