So if you're lucky enough to advance to day 2, it's not a turbo anymore!
Never been that lucky (or skilled, I guess) to make it to day two.
Don't get me wrong, there are things I liked about the Colossus. Playing in a really big tournament or just at the WSOP is a dream for some. Making the money in Day 1 is nice, multiple starting days/multiple flights, now with re-entry, etc add to the value. Also, a bracelet for $565 (x however many tries) would make a great story, plus a cool Million!
Seriously, I played it twice, I wouldn't give up that experience. But, I could buy 6 entries and 6 re-entries and still probably not make the money, due to the turbo nature of that first day. That's on me, of course.
