Wait, a 2 rebuy 1 addon is a "cube"? I had always wondered what that meant, lol. Is a 1r1a a triangle?

The tourney structures can be fast and rec friendly but a Main Event should be special, with long levels.

Eagle Cup has been cool but I can't really justify not playing live to plan my day around these things. I will be playing all the events on Sunday though.

Man this thing has been great but I'm ready for it to end! Having to be at my computer at 8:45 every weeknight and basically all day on Saturday and Sunday has given me a whole new appreciation of MTT pros. I'm especially morose after I choked away a bunch of events with all sorts of awful spews and will probably not win the leaderboard.

Super disappointed with $11 L-Main and $22 M-Main structures.

L4 I have a little less than starting stack and already playing push/fold poker?

Lost one pot in the M-Main and in L2 I feel like I already can't play a speculative hand for a raise.

Ugh.

I'm obviously a huge Global fan but I couldn't be more disappointed today.

$110 Main is probably the worst structure I've ever played for $100+ buy-in.

Only fired one bullet in the $110 because the structure was so bad.

Brutal finish in the $22. I get AA in vs AQ for 3rd in chips 30 spots off the money and lose to a flush. Then bust 6 spots off the money after getting 13 bigs in with AQ vs AJ. Blah.

I have top 5 stack 20 spots off the money in the PLO-H. Open with AAK9 single suited. three callers, one big stack with position on me.

Flop: A35 rainbow. I bet 1500 into 3300 and only big stack calls.

Turn: 9d, opens up diamond draw. I bet closer to pot size this time and he puts me all in. I happily call. He has A4dd... no 2, no 6.. just the gutshot and a BD flush draw.

River: 6d

Drive safe.

Any chance of a special prize for the ROI champion?

Congrats to Penta for winning the Eagle Cup sweeps leaderboard! If you're around, let us know what this 5k tournament package entails, I've been wondering.

I finished 3rd on the leaderboard, in style, winning the last tournament, the 50 2r1a 6m

Let me apologize for all of my horrible table chat. I'm the worst. I'm very sorry!

I also want to know if anybody won more events than I did. I got 3. I think Penta might have shipped like 5 though, he was pretty far back then went on a yuuuuuuuge run over the last like 10 days.

I'm never playing an MTT again, btw. Only ironmen and ironladies can be MTT grinders.

I had a 73% ROI across 122 events. Feels like that's pretty decent. I'm exhausted!

Congratulations.

I was just making a joke because I won the 10k freeroll and didn't play any of the other tournaments, so my ROI is infinite.

Congrats to all of the leader board winners. Its well earned, and speaks volumes to people who see poker as just luck. And now I have a list of people to play carefully around in MTTs

Damn, well done!

I've no idea what my ROI is, but it's probably not that great considering how ridiculously liberal I am with re-buys and add-ons. Certainly a bit lower than infinite!

I was at your table I believe. There are a lot of Global players who piss away nice stacks in late stages of the tournament calling off huge bets with AQ or AJ, but sometimes they get lucky.

Understanding how to play with less than 30 BBs is one of the major leaks I fixed recently, although I wasn't attentive enough & really screwed up a situation on Saturday night where I was set to make a deep run to the final table.

Strange, AJ seems to be the hand that knocks my 30bb out (QQ/KK/AK).
