^It's a wild tuesday indeed!

Here's the current top stacks from all three. Still a bit of late reg to go in all of them, but almost closed (PP and GG are 100k starting stack, stars 250k)

Random trivia: I see Wiktor in on Stars and GG, but he's not playing the Party. I see Ike Haxton on GG and Party, but not stars. A ton of regs are blasting in all three, ofc. I also find it super strange to see Jordi Urlings (proto) in on stars but not GG (where he's open sitting the whole short deck lobby currently), but I'm sure he has reasons






(People in this one out of view, can't enlarge lobby)

The drunkest guy in poker history, Sampo, currently double-fisting Scoop 42 and 44 (2-7 TD, and 5c PLO):





edit: and literally as I hit post he is down to single-fisting it, UL

Looking at those 25k lineups, who are the fish there? Or is it all pros?

For some odd reason Wiktor has a 5% swap with HK based player Lin Ruida (I assume this is him) in tomorrows 25k (they bought 5% of eachothers's action at no MU). Odd! Good luck to both

I believev W came 2nd and Sami Kelopuro won last night's 25k

Yesterday the Stars $5k freezeout and $530 PLO rebuy overlaid by not unsignificant (though not huge) amounts.

Today GG has a $25k and a $10k NL bounty as main attractions ($2625 and 1k and 10k day 1C too I guess). A $5k PLO-NL as well.

Partypoker has a regular $10k.

Stars has a couple of stuff in the 500-1k range, and a 10k NL bounty, like GG.

Tomorrow is essentially an off day.

Current GG Spring series H-leaderboard (vapacooler is Tomatee on Stars)



Very interesting Shortdeck table currently running on GG! (Does W ever sleep or is it 24/7 powder all month? )

Joao Viera (Naza114) won the 25k SCOOP Highroller for ~460k yesterday and came in 2nd at the same event's Medium-BI version for another 140k (iirc). Was still in good shape in a 5k as well last time I checked. What an absolute beast.

Anyone who plays any amount of online poker probably recognizes the logo of the swedish gambling collective "The gambling cabin". Well - it was just sold for ~$5.5MM (plus some future options) - I fully expect some of the majority owners like the legend Bengt "pkrbt" Sonnert to throw some extra shots in the HS this weekend. Congrats to them!




Some of the stuff today is the FT of $10k PKO on stars:




Stars also has a $5k PLO, and a $1k 4-max PKO NLHE! Fun!

Nothing fun on Party

On GG saturday means PLO-NL day! A regular $5k plus a $10k PKO are the main attractions. May get wild!

aand the results are in

Lars "Kelopuro" Luzak binked the $10k PKO PLO-NL event:



HSPLO streamer Suhepx took 2nd place in the $5k event, good for him Seemed happy about it!

Over on stars the previously mentioned Pkrbt bubbled the FT of their $5k PLO. This is the lineup that plays out tomorrow (notice Kelopuro had a deep run here too!). 157k up top here:



Tomorrow is sunday which means mayhem and I'm not even going to bother listing out events. You know what's up - wanna spend a lamborghini aventador in buyins in one day? You can!

I wonder if I'm alone in this or not, regular people who want to play for big money but cannot play 2-3 days this whole series thing is off putting.

I'm someone who used to be a pro for many years (not mtts) and I've always fired in mtts, I only play turbos or hypers except for the very special mtts. I now run a biz and dont have the time or energy to play events that last for 2-3 days, I want instant gratification of a chance to win big or dust off a few bis and go to bed. I have kids and a 'normal' life and I def dont want to lose a 80/20 at 3am to bust for a min cash. You want people like me in the field, maybe not me exclusivley but certainly people who own businesses and like to gamble. All this **** of multiple rentries, hours of late reg, and multiple day events is not rec friendly and all the rich gambling fish I know who would fire cannot be bothered anymore and have resorted to not playing anymore. If any sites are reading this, you need more turbo/hypers with big gtds - I know the exact people you want in these fields and you wont get them by catering to the pros and making everything so long and boring. Some of the turbos/hypers Ive won in the past I look to reg on a sunday (even in a series) and all I see if GTDs slashed, tiny money up top and overall very unappealing schedule. Am I alone?

GG is slightly different as it looks exciting and huge money but not enough turbos and you cant deposit big money there due to kyc.

you are not alone. why would i spend a few K on a tournament that is filled with 100% super pros, takes 2 f days to finish till ridic AM in the morning and unless you come top 3 it's a waste of time and no fun.

imagine trying to justify to your wife/gf/bf what you're doing... hey Jenny guess what? I know it's 5am and I got work in 2 hours but I just played 19 hours of poker the last few days in this $2000 tournament and won... $2200!!! Jenny to me - ok don't f do that again.

how is any normal person with a job/family/any life outside of poker supposed to play?

much easier and more fun and convinient to blast off thousands at roulette, sports betting or some plo cash for a few hours to get your fix. that's what i do anyway and I would LOVE to play some decent MTT's if there were any.

if there was the option to play a 1k or 2k that was only going to last 6 - 8 hours MAXIMUM with worthwhile money up top and not a $100k garauntee with $8k for 1st then you would get a way better pool of players.

Yup. Well it doesnt have to be 1k/2ks even thr Hotter 109 used to be 15-20k ut, Supersonic 30-40k - now its halved if you're lucky even in a series. Boring af.
