Buyins used to go $2 -> $7 -> $12 now they go $1 -> $3 -> $5 -> $10 -> $20, so will probably be playing mainly $10s with a few $5s going on too depending on how often they load.
Looks like a 180 man will take around 2.5-3 hours to finish, up from ~2 hours from before.

Lol what a clusterf--.
Stars screwed up royally - the first new buyin level MTT SNGs were put in with a really slow structure, which was a mistake.
They then rushed to changed them back to the new smooth structure they've developed, but accidently set the turbos to be 6 minute levels instead of 3 minute levels.
And now they are 3 minute levels, so really the length of the tournament won't have changed that much but the blind jumps will be smaller, meaning it won't be so bad when the blind goes up on your big blind
Bunch of unhappy grinders who are playing some terribly structured turbos now though!

Dog make me fall and slam with front door of the house, hit with furniture, wrist not broke but swollen and hell of pain, some bruises on legs, back, arm, try to play poker (xbx controler) and f"#$%% can´t
Probably going to need some days to swollen go down (writing with left hand wich take like 10min for line). so i guess will see you in couple days guys.

i thought all the super turbos i'd played had pretty much rid me of tilt, but mtts penetrate some deep level of tilt lol
think i should listen to some tommy angelo
It's only funny because they replaced them for free

Traffic has been slow on Carbon for the 45 ppl sngs. I logged in about 12:20 am est yesterday and there was no $5.50 or $11 ones close to filling up. I have been on for about 15 minutes tonight and still no traffic on the 45 ppl sngs and its a Friday night/Saturday morning....you would think traffic would be decent but it seems like it never is for the 45 ppl sngs.
I have to play small mtt's here and there because of the poor traffic, it can get annoying.

Eh its just been a long day. I think I am going to have to stick to 10 man stt's for the majority...45 ppl sng are hardly ever filling up and I don't have the time to play mtt's day to day, plus the variance gets too me.
In 2 different mtt's I played both had the top 10 placing and in both I finished 12th. In a 10 ppl stt I just played top 3 place of course and I finish 4th. Time for bed.

Chiming in late. Up to $26+ from nothing mid last month. Can't get into playing at Carbon. Gonna switch it up and play some heads up hyper turbos. At least these fill up quickly.
Also think it would be fun to get custom game for a buck or two going where we can play each other and discuss play afterward. Anyone else interested? I need a boost to get back into the swing of things. Life is sucking hard in the post FTP days.
Also only one goal for me this month: Start to enjoy playing poker again.

Nice. I have seen the traffic pick up some on Carbon but I wish it had more. The 10 ppl stt's $5.50 games fill up quick I noticed.
I have pretty much went back to playing 10 ppl stt, $5.50 buy in for the most part with a few 45 ppl sngs here and there. MTT's and 45 ppl sngs have to much variance for me to play on a consistent basis.

Yeah absolute joke, not happy! The 45 man turbos are fine, cos the blind levels stop before they get too crazy like they do in the 180 mans, but missing my 180 mans
Apparently they'll announce any changes to rake/structures only Wednesday so can only hope. They said they'd release a new client update for PC today (already out on Mac) which would make lobby much easier to read but nothing yet!

Good idea on merging the threads!!!n (though we will never rival the cash thread cause it is the spammiest thread in the forum lol)
So - looks like I will get in a little bit of live play in a couple of weeks. Meeting Cody (Bwammo) and his friend in Biloxi and plan on getting in a few tournaments. They are not large fields - but better than nothing!
As for online playing - as soon as I get caught up on things at home after just returning from my trip I plan on making a schedule and taking it seriously again. I won't get to play as many tournaments - so won't spend as much time on it - but I think this is a good opportunity for me to tone it down and really focus on 1 or 2 tables at a time.
I won't put much online at any 1 place - can re-load if/when I need to but after all that has happened you won't catch me with $7.5k online again lol.
