Lol sounds kind of awful.

Unlimeted re-buys for first two hours! Nothing like building up a great chip lead and some donk doubling / trebling up on their 5th rebuy lol....

Secondly, such big prize pots and WINNER TAKES ALL! I'd be gutted if I came 2nd or 3rd and coulda had a few hundred or more if there was a 3 way split....

Thirdly, with it narrowed down to winner takes all, and all those re-buys I'd be suspicious that there was a syndicate of so many guys playing and rebuying and when one of them takes the prize they just split it, now I'm not saying you guys are @'holes and are doing that, but it's not unheard of....

ASIDE - I heard that the APPT Qualifier tourny's held in Gangnam, the organizers hire loads of kids to play and keep re-buying to encourage non employed plrs to re-buy or have a harder time making it to the money... I played one and made it final table and there were loads of 18 - 20 yr old Koreans (who I'd never seen in the casino or the card room they run before) sitting together and rebuying with freny like fervour.... Just a rumor though.

It's not winner takes all.


It's not fixed.
Take a look. If you don't think it's on the level, take off. (or better yet, enjoy the killer actual burgers and fries)

Nothing worse than taking the bus all the way to Daejeon and busting out on the first hand cuz you were dealt Aces and the guy next to you goes all in with Kings and wins the hand. Evil or Very Mad

Nothing like being on pokerstars yesterday, hitting a boat on the flop, getting raised and then re-rasing and getting called all in by some guy with either a draw or 2 pair who then rivers a better boat and losing a $400 pot lol....

Then in a .50 / $1 game raising 10 times the bb with KK then getting called by a guy with 22 who hits a set of deuces on the flop....

Lol

Sounds good man, I'll pm you later for the directions from station.

It will be a fresh change to play real poker as I haven't played outside of pokerstars for a while and I'm sick of it.

Just landed a 455 flop with 54 in pocket.

Called a $4 raise preflop, 5 players in pot so around $20. I bet half pot, dude re-raises, 1 folds others call so I go all in another $100 and the reraiser calls with KK. Dude lands a damn K on the river.

Man.

Update. Just flopped nut str8 and was steaming from previous beat. Pushed all in remaining $68 and got called with AA. Dude gets a damn boat as the baord pairs on turn and rivers an A.

Sick, plain F*cking sick.
