yep. And can we quite this "turbo deepstack" nonsense. It's just completely ridiculous.

I actually find them quite entertaining, especially Shorthanded 10k stack one.

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty disappointed with this series. Deep Stacked Super turbos are, as t_roy said, nonsense, the satellites are all super-turbo crap shoots, there's very little variety in the events (no Stud Hi or HORSE?), and the guarantees, while not bad, just aren't enough to be impressive.

EDIT: Brownie points if you add a HU PLO Championship.

EDIT 2: Why not just do half as many events with bigger guarantees? This seems fairly obvious.

Better than normal turbos? What's the point? Either have a deep structure or a shallow structure imo. Both are fine, but combining them is absurd.

Reminds me of something petegotaplan said once

I mean, I'm mostly a cash game player, so maybe it doesn't make sense you're mostly grinding turbos or whathaveyou, but you get some play in the beginning and then a crapshoot towards the end - I like it. Just me, I guess.

The schedule needs HORSE badly!

[Mark275]

lol yah, we gotta scroll wayyyyy down now to see daily tourneys, couldnt they put it under just the"special area"

[RPMSeth]

Due to the popularity of the HORSE option in Poll 1, Merge has decided to add another event to the schedule.

Event 52a will be NLH and Event 52b will be HORSE. The buy-in for this tournament is entirely up to the players, you can vote on the facebook page!

PLO8 MTTS are way more popular than PLO mtts on MERGE!!! Yet there is no $10K PLO8, but there is a $10K PLO.

Please have Merge add a $10K PLO8 event! Thanks!

[Mark275]

no skill in plo8 imo, should make it a super hyperhyper if any
