Title: Pokerstars Ten Million $Tournament ... Be Aware of how long it will take Post by: FUN4FRASER on December 17, 2011, 11:35:32 AM As a lot of people are , I was also thinking of taking my laptop to DTD for Day 2 of The Monte Carlo so I could play Pokerstars $10,000,000 at the same time ....
However....having looked at things a bit closer, I have had it confirmed from Pokerstars it will be a one day event (straight through with only the normal 5 minute hourly breaks) A normal Sunday million with 7500 ish runners last approx 12 /13 hours..so with this tournament staring at 7 .30 pm (UK Time ,Late Reg till 10.30pm) and a potential 50,000 runners ( It needs to have 50,000 players to cover the 10 million guarantee (50,000 x $200 ofc) ) I figure its going to go on for an approx 18 hours and will finish at 1. 00 pm ish Monday afternoon. These are rough approximations....but it would be interesting to hear what other people think . Regardless...its a long day especially if you have been, or are playing live also . Good Luck to all that enter :) Peace x Title: Re: Pokerstars Ten Million $ Tournament . Be Aware of the Time Frames !

Would love to play this but just know that before long i will be getting restless. Title: Re: Pokerstars Ten Million $Tournament ...

Having said that on Thursday night there was no problems
Title: Re: Pokerstars Ten Million $Tournament ... Be Aware of how long it will take Post by: SuuPRlim on December 18, 2011, 01:52:45 AM to play this at DTD without a dongle would be pretty foolish imo

Would love to play this but just know that before long i will be getting restless. treat is as a $200 lottery ticket and man up and grind son! What's the point? I know how I react to sleeplessness and it results in me going on life tilt. With the sick amount of spots you need to win to do well I will be a sitting duck. Is no one else really upset about having to possibly play so many hours? So want a 2-day Title: Re: Pokerstars Ten Million $Tournament ...

Be Aware of how long it will take Post by: AceofWands on December 19, 2011, 11:59:33 AM The top six got amounts ranging from $1,146,574 to $580,724. The kid who agreed the lowest amount appears to have come 2nd when they played it out.
Title: Re: Pokerstars Ten Million $Tournament ... Be Aware of how long it will take Post by: AndrewT on December 19, 2011, 12:22:37 PM There was a pretty lol deal with 6 left.
Stars gave the chop numbers, then shortstack says he wants more, so top two give him a bit. 6th now is getting more than 5th, but 5th guy agrees?!?!? Title: Re: Pokerstars Ten Million $Tournament ...

Title: Re: Pokerstars Ten Million $Tournament ... Be Aware of how long it will take Post by: vegaslover on December 19, 2011, 08:22:17 PM I think it's just luck, sooo many runners in a one off tourney. the guarantee attracted loads who wouldn't otherwise bother.

Be Aware of how long it will take Post by: paulhouk03 on December 19, 2011, 11:59:26 PM Is there anything in the fact that between them the FT'ers have played very few games between them??? Seat 1: Unstoffable - 2 MTT's - Pre 10A Losses $237 Seat 2: tunafish919 - 350 MTT's - Pre 10A Losses $21,891 Seat 3: BLAABAR - 328 MTT's - Pre 10A Losses $5,423 Seat 4: SkunkDen - 180 MTT's - Pre 10A Losses $3,642 Seat 5: fireballdio - 80 MTT's - Pre 10A Losses $39 Seat 6: Dimedroll - 210 MTT's - Pre 10A Losses $2,939 Seat 7: kaalen - 42 MTT's - Pre 10A Losses $1,596 Seat 8: yokouno1980 - 5 MTT's - Pre 10A Losses $210 Seat 9: First-Eagle - 733 MTT's - Pre 10A Profits $20,360 Clearly First_Eagle was the experienced, (only) profitable player at the table. Excluding him, the others averaged 150 MTT's for 2011 - and all as losing players... I don't really keep tabs on who wins what (bar looking at the money lists every now and then). Is it a normal occurrence to have so many inexperienced losing players at a FT of a Sunday Major? Does this mean that luck/variance is much much more important than skill in these bigger fields? could play on different sites. Title: Re: Pokerstars Ten Million $Tournament ...
