Is this on poker stars?
Do you play for free chips and then ship payment via paypal?
Can the structure be less top heavy?

If anybody actually cared about winning/payouts why would they be eager to play mtt against 2p2ers? go to casino or site that allows people from your country.

This is a question about your willingness/ability to donate in a 1-off. My threshold is $20 at an acceptable evening time with enough people who might be fun to play with.

The lower the buy in, the more participants you'll get.

#1 critically acclaimed film is probably citizen kane. If you asked me what the best movie is, probably the godfather.

Kristy,

Lots of people care about the prize being large enough to bother playing.

To me, Citizen Kane holds up worse than most classics. I do have an appreciation for it, but it's much more of a situation where I'm looking for what's good about it and not actually just sitting back and enjoying it.

The Godfather I and II are completely unimpeachable, of course.

Probably a flawed argument. Impossible to be certain, but a $5 Will have more entrants than a $20, which will have more than a $50.

Can't be sure, but I doubt you'll argue that there is a realistic possibility that they are decreasing prize pool at $50. People who like money should also probably shut their pussies and get on my lower-cost happy train, afaik

Mly,

My personal list of favorites is going to wind up very modern and idiosyncratic, since I watch any of these any time they're on. All highly debatable:

- usual suspects
- Shawshank redemption
- et
- punch drunk love
- gross point blank
- empire strikes back
- toy story 2 (
- catch me if you can
- the dark Knight
- hp half blood prince
- the prestige

Few of those are on the list of stuff I've seen that I'd say are the best or most impressive or important movies though, it's just I wouldn't choose to watch most of the great movies repeatedly.

- all about eve
- on the waterfront
- seven samurai
- godfather
- Casablanca
- citizen kane
- m
- vertigo
- wizard of oz

Idk

Vertigo might be atop my "I don't understand the big ****ing deal" power rankings.

And I love both Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart on most other occasions, including their other collaborations.

Kristy,

demand for this is super inelastic (not price sensitive). max entrants for this case study is a sweet spot of $50, though one could make another flawed(!) argument that demand grows exponentially with a price increase due to this site being littered with sharks, but that would not happen thanks to mly's ironclad ways.

Ben Bernanke signing off.

The Prestige is good; should be on my top ten.

100% this.

Should probably reduce entry fee to $0.01 to get some REAL money up in this thing. Think of how massive the prize pool would be at that point!

Guys... If anyone is feeling FOR enough to do pics MLY's way, and is also not allowed to access 2p2 at work:
1) screenshot on pc, upload to "imigr"
2) turn on phone, Settings => recent tabs => YOUR-PC => open the tab with pic = copy/paste

Both slow and inefficient! But at least you get rod of that patented MLY swirly pattern

In before OOT oots all over itself.

That's definitely what I'm saying, Chopstick. Not a painfully dumb overreach at all.

I'm mildly confident I'm right about this. she's at like 4 confirmed at 50 with 3 spots getting paid.

10+ at $20 would be a better choice and might be plausible with all the feigned interest at $50...that might become real participants at lower buy in.

But it already isn't meeting my "fun use of time" qualifier.

Good day, Sirs.

Amadeus is my favorite all time movie. I'd be embarrassed to admit how many times I've actually watched it. I'm surprised I don't see it on too many other people's favorites list. Maybe I suck at movies.

I remember that being a good movie, but it's been a decade since I've seen it and haven't really felt any pull toward rewatching it.

One of my favorites that I always regard as underwatched is The Remains of the Day.

It's not the price point that's keeping people out.

I saw a live production of Amadeus. It was pretty good. http://buffalonews.com/1995/08/09/in...perial-stiffs/

Mostly I want to know jmakin's opinion of my top-10! Actually mostly I want to hear his opinion on Punch Drunk Love, which I think is a sleeper great movie.

I think those are all really high up there for me, the only confusing pick is toy story 2 over original toy story/toy story 3.

I think any amount under 50 and half the players decide within 10 mins it's a huge waste of time and open shove every hand.
