Title: Your definition of bingo here... Post by: mikkyT on August 13, 2006, 06:09:29 PM I thought the bingo definition was quite clearly a £5 re-buy fest at your local casino... that was until I came accross this earlier today:
Boss network, satellite to the $25,000 guaranteed: 25,000 lotto frenzy. $4.50 + $0.50. 100 chips, 1 minute blinds. I quote: "Turbo Qualifier to todays $25,000 Guaranteed at 18:30 GMT. 1 player in 10 will qualify. 100 starting chips, 1 minute blinds, pick a hand to go all-in with. Pure luck!!!" 165 entries, 17 places paid (17th got $38.50) Jeezus. I had nobody on my table above 100 chips at one point when I had 705. Then we faced the usual boss network problem of putting all the big stacks on one table. Not very happy chappies when the blinds are 10000-5000 and nobody has more than 3k in chips and the little 80 chip stacks make it through to the money. :) Title: Re: Your definition of bingo here... Post by: leighton_87 on August 13, 2006, 06:13:31 PM A lot of Ladbrokes satelites are 100 chips with one minute blinds, others you get 1 chip and are all in or fold, If your in the blinds you are all in.

Not touching them with a barge pole myself, but ;goodluck; to anyone who feels the urge... :D Title: Re: Your definition of bingo here...

Post by: MrMoves on August 13, 2006, 06:21:17 PM I saw plenty of "one hand satellites" for tournaments in Dublin earlier this year.
Very popular they were too. Title: Re: Your definition of bingo here... Post by: mikkyT on August 13, 2006, 06:51:53 PM ONE HAND!? Jeez lol
