is it worth playing the main? i mean if i did some lower buyin stuff like the colossus etc would that somewhat replicate the experience?

despite believing i'm +ev, 10k on a single mtt when not actively studying/prepping does seem like a big investment

tourneys suk

gambool in the cash games. When people get nuked from a wsop event it is as if they are morally obligated to immidiately belly up to a cash game and piss away a coulpe o buyins as fast as possible.

You'll have to look at the structures and decide. Colossus is a turbo so definitely wouldn't replicate a main event experience even if you won it. Feely and I both went deep in the Milly Maker and my opinion (having never played the main) is that it would not replicate the main event experience but could still be a fantastic experience for you.

I remember the heads up rap battle - alcohol was the clear winner of that one.

Forgot about the turtle skirmish until you guys just mentioned it - **** that really happened didn’t it

Always lurking.

Can we turn on auto vanity search though? That is much less work

It is?

Milly structure is incredible. Almost too slow tbh and must surely be better value than the ME from a field POV as the play quality is horrific. If you were at all serious about mtts, you’d really have to play that tourney every day of the year if it was offered

I’ve always hankered after playing the Main and it would be the kind of thing I’d look forward to all year but no way I’m rolled for it. I would justify it as a life roll thing not a bank roll thing.

Damn thing wasn't quite finished smoldering when I pitched that mofo into a snowbank to cool off.

Back to Costco for another one...

Dude you have forgotten everything. They were hitting on Mrs. APD too. I stepped in once and told them to skedaddle when they were first trying to buy both of the Mrs. drinks. Then Turtle saw them trying again and **** popped off.

I've only played like a dozen tournaments but the Milly structure did seem good. 1hr levels. The Monster Stack is also 1hr levels but you start with double the stack so it's probably the closest representation of the Main Event (albeit the main has 2 hr levels). The problem I have with the monster stack is that you'll 3bet all in, and then the original raiser will tank forever before calling. You'll flip over pocket Jacks and then he'll say "Oh good" and will then proceed to flip over AJo like it's the nuts and bink an Ace on yo ass.

If I play the main that will be a sign that I'm playing too big of cash games.

I've got two bookings...one for 14-18 which seems like the poor choice, although I can adjust it, and 22-27 which sends the better option

Still getting those swell deals from the V as they try to scratch back their slots losses from you?
