Interesting question - when I first started playing I entered a MOSS 0.55 buyin event on ACR.
The number of players was something like 6000 if my memory is correct but what I remember most is that the late registration period lasted for SIX hours.
It was excruciating!!
I played for 12 hours - and this was when I had only been playing poker for about 2 months, so it was abnormally long for what I had been used to. At that point I had final tabled a couple of those online $10gtd
freerolls ACR runs, and those go for about 3-4 hours, but 12 hours was quite long for me.
I ended up placing in the top 120. I think 108, it was pretty long for such a novice.
acr every tourney feels like 6 plus if you make the end of reg
Agree - wish they'd shorten the late registration period of ALL tourneys.
my longest tournament was a 10k Sunday with 25,000 players and by the time I left I was playing for 7.00 hours and still had over 1,000 players.
Are these super long online tourneys any different for breaks - compared to common (every day) tourneys - that give everyone a WHOPPING 5 minute break every 1 hour? Sometimes we have to do things that take more than 5 minutes!
I wonder how the Venom tourney on ACR is structured for breaks/lunch/dinner. Seems very tight to only give 5 minute breaks for such a LONG multi-day tourney.
My longest tournament played online was 9 hours. Live 15+ hours at the world series. Yes we started at 10AM and ended about 1:20AM the next morning. Long freaking day.
Luve how are the breaks and lunch/dinners structured for these multi-day live events? From watching poker vlogs - I surmise there are 15 minute breaks ever so often (how often), and a dinner break (how long is that)?
