Winning Millions 14th December 2014 - Page 6 - Winning Poker Network -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

General public is not going to spend $ 150-300 and the hassle to get windows up and running on a mac just to play their tables cmon ...

Did the CEO share this info with you while on a bathroom break at company hq ?

It literally costs like $100 to get Windows on a Mac and anyone that would play a $540 tournament should have no problem spending that if they are interested. I completely agree they should have had the Mac client before this tournament, but they don't.

Before insinuating I'm a shill maybe you should read my posts in the forum. I'm more critical of this network than most..... but since you asked, the CEO shared it on a live stream that he did on Sunday when he was taking questions from players.

So yeah, in a perfect world they'd have Mac up and running now, but they don't, and I think online poker players with Macs understand that parallels are basically necessary for them. Not that this is the only hobby/profession that requires that for Mac users.

And seriously, you couldn't be more disrespectful. GTFO of here with that.

The CEO said the Mac client will be ready in Feb in the live stream he had on twitch the other night. Also, if you're gonna spend $1,500 on a Mac, you're telling me you can't spend a hundred bucks to buy a windows disk? Or borrow one from your friend? Macs come with bootcamp so you can run Windows within your Mac for free. Also, Windows dominates 90% of the PC world.

This will be a one off free bank wire to the amount which you desire to withdraw.

Sorry I missed this reply earlier.

I wasn't saying in order to exceed the 1M pool, but rather to reduce their overlay...

IOW: I am not familiar with how prize pools are affected by satellites.

So whose gonna win the big bux? Whose gonna put down 540 and get rich after 15 hours of play? Is it Cellar Door? How about Leatherass? What about Tilt-A-Whirl? How about OnlineLivePro?

These are the best players in the universe people, they're filthy rich and won big. Which one of them is going to win the big bux?? I slit my wrists every day preying to God that I can be as smart and good as them. For example, the amount of fat leatherass has on his body, I want that so bad. I want to be leatherass so bad the guy with thousands in his account.

I'm confused on what you're talking about. What do you mean not sure how prize pools are affected by satellites?

Million dollar guarantee on a U.S. site. We may never see this again. Need to find my way in somehow.

Fwiw, if it goes well they plan to do it again in 90 days.

Sorry, I know I'm not phrasing this well.

I mean say you have a main event that has a $5,000 guarantee on a $100 buy in, and a satellite event that costs $10 with 1 seat to the main.

Nobody has registered yet for the main, so the prize pool so far is $0.

You get 20 players in the satellite, so the total take on the satellite is $200.

As a result of the satellite, does the house:
1) Add $100 to the main pool (1 seat)
2) Add $200 to the main pool (20 players)
3) Add nothing to the main pool - cause they wanna pay even more out of pocket for that $5k guarantee (ha ha)

The 1 Million has been having satellites for a few months now and has like $180K(can't open lobby atm to see real #) or more in the prize pool already.

He'd also need to be allowed to grim you.

That matches my current recollection from looking last night.

In the satellite. Using your example; $100 entry to the main tournament, $10 satty with 1 seat GTD. Assuming no rake, if 11 people were in the satty the prizes would be 1 seat and 2nd place would get $10.

So far that hasn't been my experience. Although to be honest I haven't paid attention to whether any of the sat's I've been in so far have exceeded their next-level ticket costs.

That's how 100% of satellites work on every poker network in the world.

Again, I was unclear. I was referring specifically to THESE satellites. And again - probably it hasn't happened because the amount needed for the BI hasn't been hit.

Actually I'm really confused as to how you can have nearly 1.6k posts and not know that.

Thank you for your constructive comment. I'm sure you have never, ever been unclear about the specific mechanics of some aspect of the game and certainly never took steps to try to understand the confusion.

You're probably right. I had never really spent much time thinking about it before, just made some passing observations that were quite possibly not even accurate, and just wanted to improve my knowledge.

Well, you probably shouldn't try to correlate post counts with "deep understanding of how satellite structures work" for starters.
