With an extra large field what time do we think the Million will finish at tomorrow morning??

Bit hopeful I know, but...

if i get deep and have a shot at 1 mill i will prob pull a sicky

I think morning is optimistic.

Is it 1 day?

ofc 1 day.
i imagine 11am

11am sounds about right, I assume its unlikely the FT will play out to a conclusion.

Last week's Million was $1.5m and finished at 7.50am.

I'll have to miss a 9am seminar if I go that deep. Good incentive.

Think we'll have 5 grinders or so in the house :-)

If I am still in at 8am I will just ring up work and quit, that will give me the extra pressure I need to make sure I see it out.

In for $10ish  :)

really wont mind ringing work if im still in this at 9am. Hi boss im playing for $1 million. im going to be late. If i win ill come in and we can go straight to the pub. He will im sure be happy with this!

if you are in at 8am i'll just quit :0

Busted  :( Ran set into Kings for a pesky king to arrive on the river. Had a fkn lovely table too. Ho hum. Back to work this week then.

Gl to bergeroo who's still in with 17 left. Get that Milly ball one time!!

Jesus Christ dejavu boy is toooooooooooooo good!

glglgl

10 left - 4 from the UK

Not to be. Finished 17th. 10th in the Kickoff too. One of those congratudolences nights. Awesome to get so far though.

Sexygee is the best player left in by far, but the Lithuanian has all the chips!

199 MILLION CHIPS - What a life!!!!!!!!!

They're looking at the numbers now. Should be fun

Anyone know any of the UK players personally?

What would u want minimum if you were This chip leader George?, with his stack right now?

What are screen names?

Heminsley - Sexygee and 2outs4cake

Wouldn't be too greedy tbh. He's gonna get a pretty sweet deal even from an icm perspetive

Yeh I take 775k lol

CL is insane if he takes it!

Evertyone wants to deal and he has 4x 2nd place chips! - play it out and deal 4 handed. They are all desperate

OMG, I know 2outs4cake, he's local, plays up Big Slick, so so sick, I came off facebook all weekend cos I was tilting, and he was asking ppl to swap % 7 hrs ago fmlfmlfml :( gooooo him tho

You could be right guy but huge money to turn down

lol chat has just got snide!

this could be a fun final!

Ho on SexyGee. Life changing sum already.

Lol Guy. Its easy to say that but when dough is on the table but most would give 11th place a £20 saver in a £5 freezeout

Pretty sick equity beat

he was giving away 1/2m - he has 100bbs in a crap shoot - pretty sure Im 100% no dealing 9 handed

you can always deal later once the shorties  are gone

Surprised he's not opening more

he has just disconnected - haha

now he has disconnected he could be regretting it. I bet his arse has dropped out lol.
Imagine being in his bedroom now

Surely u would use your brain, and get a dongle for nights like this

hes back - pls jam

Or buy an Iphone and use hotspot hahahaha

lol @ 2outs4cake, seems pretty desperate for a deal.

Pretty funny.

If they do discuss a deal he'll be in a [  ] strong position

kasra is winnig in this having 3xd his stack since the last deal

Your mate getting desperate dreenie

can you play all the tournies on iphone dreenie... i seem to have selected tournies

Yeah, he's a recreational player, this would defo be his biggest score, to a lot of ppl 400k is life changing.

Tried private messaging him, telling him to grind it out till 5/6 left gtd to get that sort of figure then, but he's not seen it sigh

Probably thinks your on with the pre nip

yeah sigh sigh sigh Play for the million man, he who dares hahaha

Oh dear. Like chip leaders ever gonna flatten the payout

He will probs win tho. Whoever wants the deal the most find dem aces

Thing is, the only guy who has sat silent is n0rflip loooool

Sexygee nailed on for top 3 now

is sexygee  david gent ?

madness, 3 out in 3 hands

dropping like rain drops now

Yes, I looked on pocket fives, don't know him personally tho.

Or not

lol...deal be done soon i think
 as it is it is playing like they have done a deal and chopped it

yup Genty

What I meant was, if you have an Iphone, and your laptop/Computer loses broadband connection, you can go to settings in Iphone and turn on hot spot, which means you will get internet connection from your phone through to your laptop/computer, will run the bill up a bit, but who cares if your on the final of this haha

oh yeah. i do this if i aint got wifi when out. just hook upto wife phone

toooooooooo sick, he's played incred whole final

Go on sexygee doing it like a boss!!

Great tekkers by sexygee. Now gonna get a decent deal

Gee, representing the UK like a, well G.

"At this time I was still only playing on the VC skin and every Sunday they held their big tourney of the week. I was yet to have a deep run but everything was about to change after I hit the register button this time. Fast forward 4 hours and I found myself in the last 30 players with $30k for the win. Unfortunately I was shortstacked as the guy on my left was disconnected so everyone kept stealing his blind before the action had got to me (this was 2005 so I didn't know about the resteal back then!) eventually i Found ak in the sb and I was begging someone to try and steal this guys big blind again. Action was folded around to Geeforce1 in the cutoff and he put in his standard 2.5x the bb raise and I 'fought' back by going allin for 20bbs with AK. He snapped called me with AQ, flopped a queen and I was out of the door in 27th place for $400, 2 buyins for my 1/2 cash game marvellous!

So how did this bad beat change my entire poker career? Well after 5 minutes of berating my luck I calmed down a bit and decided to carry on watching this Geeforce1 character. He had been playing really well and was dominating every table he was at. Even though there were still 20 players left at this stage there was no doubt in my mind that Geeforce1 was going to win. Fast forward another 3 hours and Geeforce1 was the winner and had barely gone to showdown the whole final table. This was a new form of poker that I hadn't experienced before, one that I had to learn if I was going to make it in this game...

I gave Geeforce a gg in chat and politely asked if I could have his email address. To my amazement Geeforce (David Gent) accepted and we would speak on msn whilst I would sweat his sessions at 3/6 and 5/10nl. These were stakes where thousands of $ would be on the line every minute as he would normally be 8 tabling. These sessions were invaluable for me and before long I was jumping in these games myself in the softer lineups and even though he generally got the better of me in the game I can’t put a price on those sweat sessions. These bigger games were unreal; now I was playing for life changing amounts of money every day. I bought Poker Tracker and studied all the regulars’ games in detail as I began my assault on the poker world. Before long I also started talking to Dave's best friend Paul Foltyn (Badpab2) on Tribecca. He was more of an MTT grinder at the time and he advanced my MTT game no end including teaching me the art of the resteal. I met Pab and Dave the following summer at the 2006 WSOP and they remain two of my closest friends to this very day. "

What a great piece that is Andrew, good find, thanks.

Just a quick heads up if you played the $11. 1000seat gtd. satty(the one were it froze and you not win the seat) send stars support a polite mail & they will ship you $11 back to your account questions asked within 15/20mins :)

Dear Pokerstars,

Thank you for continually running events that your servers cant handle during your peak time. If only you could invent some sort of special online series, one that repeats itself 4 times a year, that turn regularly crashes your site on peak times. That would be fantastic.

Please take my $11 refund and spend it on servers capable of handling the tournaments you insist on running.

Regards,
A loving customer

rly fking tilting.


they ran  30k a 39k and a 49k runner tourny at the same time, all that happened was that the two budget ones got paused for a few minutes, with messages outlining the problem straight away. gl finding another site that can run 1 of these comps let alone 3 at the same time all with the normal schedule running fine around it.

Yeah - bit harsh on Stars here.

Other networks fall over more often than Bambi after hitting the bar at the local ice rink.

try playing 30,000 hands on ipoker a month and you'll be sending pokerstars pieces of your own flesh if they promise never to change the servers ever.

Also Geeforce one of my fave people in poker, increible player, massive ledge, lots of time for everyone and more importantly, lives in leeds

:)up

Continually lags when the big series are on.

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61/mtt-community/please-fix-lag-stars-1172544/index68.html

Its really tilting.

I wouldn't be that bothered if I didn't expect it to happen.

srlsy though have you tried playing on other networks?

'some lag' when looking at what they put on is hardly suprising, let alone is how they deal with complaints an issue.

It just pisses me off they know of a problem yet dont do anything about it or seem to know if its fixed. Stars are fantastic and this is virtually there only flaw but it has happened a lot and every other site would receive a lot more flack for it. I play very little on other sites but this was a standout mistake from Stars, many rec players would have been playing a rare Sunday Million session and you must understand how frustrating it was to expect the lag that has occured throughout the MM series to pop up again. I didn't even ask for my $11 :P

<3 Stars forever

ya but just consider what they are running. I cant comprehend the workload on that central server!

I totally get the point of why cant they stop it from happening, it's just case of nice problem to have that your servers lag when you get over 250k unique players! fking madness.

I remember reading a Q &A session where one of the reps responded to the lag issue. They basically said that they had the best technology that was available for commercial use or something along those lines.

ya like they are basically ddosing themselves every time they run any of these major comps. I cant imagine if they could split the load across servers, that could get very complicated trying to access multiple servers from the same client for the same account.
