The 2,500,000 on I-Poker

[thetank]

Well had my 1st blast at a sat with my own money since my op to the princely sum of a $3 buy in stage 2 no rebuy needed and managed to get a seat through to stage 1 so will make a deposit so i have enough for the add on if i get that far lol.GL ME, ONE TIME AND ALL THAT

You might find someone that wants to stake you for the add-on in exchange for 50%?

[KarmaDope]

I have only played two very well structured tourneys imo one being the apat event a while back where i was chip leader overnight, chipleader final table and then took a pretty sick beat 5 handed to busto.The other as some will know is the equal chance main event which i ran deep in and finished 10th.I feel really confident that i can do well in any tournament that has a similar type of structure as the two aforementioned as i feel my game really suits this style of poker.

I attempted to qualify for 5 events I believe for the last ECOOP series (i would say i had maybe 2,3  attempts at most at a single event) and qualified for three of them

What happened in the three ECOOP main events??

If you can't afford to play this event but feel you have a big edge in slow deep stacked tournaments then I would suggest spending the weekend grinding in the Pokerstars deepstack tournaments.  Hopefully your advantage will pay off and you will win enough to pay in directly to the iPoker tourno.

Remember there is no hurry to play this specific big event - they happen pretty often nowadays across the major networks, so another will be happening once you have built up your balance.  It'll be much more satisfying playing for 100%!

Good luck!

I disagree. I play those weekend tournaments a LOT (as the boyband and others will know lol) and even if you grind your way to something like 20th/1100+ you're lucky to get $50.

And before someone asks why I still play 'em, it's a good way to get used to playing live deepstack tourneys like the GUKPT.

got a seat last night in a $25rb one time weeeeeeeeeeeee.

I'm hinting a touch of sarcasm hear It  wasn't ment as a brag quite obv but just that i've giving myself oppurtunity to get in the tourney as I believe some people on here would be happy to see me qualify since my staking thread for this never really took off which was fair enough so thought i'd say that i had giving myself chance to still get into it.Sorry if you see that as a joke but a don't have hundreds of pounds to throw around to play sats so this is my one opportunity to get in the tourney.GL to you at the tables m8

As the add on is only £12.50 i will be able to afford that myself it was the more expensive sats with more seats in that i was looking for a stake in.Cheers

Yeah i was thinking that myself i think it takes about 6 hours or so to get down to 20th as well so not really that profitable to play these imo as nobody has that big an edge to guarentee you'd ft all time(unless your mooorman but i hear he plays at a higher level).There's obv a balancing act needed with this my local grosvenor has a deepstack tourney running on a wed night but it's a £15 buy in and with the numbers they get it'd probably be lucky for the winner to see over £200 so the tourneys just not worth playing imo.I would gladly pay £50-100 and regularly play tourneys with similar structure to what i posted in OP but not to play a sat with 1500 chips and 10 min blinds.

Edit Just checked and the last one that played at grosvenor in newcastle got 40 runners 1st prize got £210 top 6 got paid 3rd was £90 and they probably played til 5am so no that great with work next morning in acouple hours time.There just isn't that many really well structured tourneys with a decent affordable buy in

I sort of agree, but if you satellite in on the cheap, then I look at is that even the $50 or so profit on the ME entry is still a nice profit on the amount you've actually paid so I'm pleased (even though it may look like  I have a low EV) to make the money and see it as a good thing.    Paying full wack I'd be the same obv.

Good luck mondatoo, this the sort of thing I try and do too.  Keep us updated
