Just clicked in to have a look. That is insane. They might end up fixing this up for the final table itself but it still means for the all of the people in the later stages of that tournament is was a terrible structure. Wsop.com seem to have had excuses that the software is old and doesn't allow them to do certain things but GG don't have those excuses.

I mean it is really simple for a good TD to do things during the tournament to prevent this towards the end.

Otherwise everyone would just wait for Aces if there is no blind pressure on their stacks.

The site is almost unusable for me at times. I don't know what other people's experiences are like but muti tabling 4 tournaments I would say I need to shut down the client at least 7-8 times and in some sessions far more to reset it after having some kind of technical problems. The GG thread on here is full of people having similar issues.

I was really looking forward to playing some of these tournaments and the site has taken all the fun out of it. I really wish the WSOP had gone with Stars or Party.

Good work.

That means a lot coming from someone whose posts are insufferable, and generally a laughing stock of 2+2.

And in typical fashion you rely on ad homimen attacks because you lack the mental capacity to advance or otherwise contribute to a thread idea.

Good work.

Here is a comparison to previous years Million Makers.

Quote:

In 2018, the WSOP Millionaire Maker reached its final table of nine players in Level 33 with the blinds at 80,000-160,000 with a 20,000 ante. That made for an average stack of 38.34 big blinds and an M of 19.17. If the final table of nine was reached in Level 33 of the 2019 structure, the blinds would be 120,000-240,000 with a 240,000 big blind ante. That’s a higher big blind, but each player would have many more chips given the increased starting stack.

Using the same field size of 2018 (7,361 entries), the final nine players would have an average stack of 20.447 million which means they’d have 85.2 big blinds and an M of 34.08. Of course, this science isn’t perfect year over year, but it’s a solid guess that the 2019 WSOP Millionaire Maker final table will have much more play at it than the 2018 final table did.

I pictured each of the players furiously typing info into the SnapShove app on their phones and just obediently abiding by its outputs. But I guess it's not that big a deal since the pay jumps weren't for a lot of mon-oh...um, never mind.

snapshove outputs will be disastrously off for FT ICM shoving ranges, no doubt a lot of them have Holdem Resources Calculator or Icmizer running on a second device instead

Has anyone gone to Mexico and signed up for GGPoker? What docs do u need besides ID? And how do you fund your account? CC? I was planning on going to TJ for a weekend to play the main event. Do I need to go a couple days earlier to sign up? I can’t get to the travel or faq page. It just tells me I’m in a forbidden country.

Yes, yes: you're right...I guess my point was that it was so shallow that automation of what would be proper strategy would be "easy" for those who are familiar with these types of programs.

Taken from the GG thread but will get more visibility here. For anyone playing on GG using windows 10 and experiencing problems. Try this.

So you can try this just like I did:
right clic on the ggnet icon on the instalation folder and clic on properties ,then you go to the compatibility tab and ejecute the troubleshooter.

In my case the troubleshooter suggested to run the game in compatibility mode with windows 8, and it solved my problem.

Hope it works for you too.

The 10k HU starting in 1hr from now may just have the most interesting lineup in online poker history. It's all a mix of the absolute world elite (got Wiktor, Stefan, Addamo, Chidwick, etc), old school pros (Hellmuth, Negreanu) and famous fun players (Leon, Bilzerian..)

I have just registered for the $150 WSOP 57 on GG and the table hasn't appeared.

Anyone else having problems?

All good it finally opened.

Have they explained what the "people's choice" and "spin the wheel" tournaments are yet?
