You should switch on over to pokerstars! Did you watch the WPT tour on TV last night? One guy qualified for the WPT tourney last night by winning a $12 net satellit on pokerstars and he left with $43,000

From what I understand, he tried three times to get into a MUCH bigger satellite tourney on pokerstars which he finally qualified. He didnt win that actual satellite, but the top 10 players advance to the WPT tourney without having to pay an entry fee

Party needs to STEP UP..they could rule online poker if they invested a FRACTION of their weekly rake in a complete overhaul of their site.

I may be on tonight...I'll look for you SSI.

swami, im only going to play in the one tourney, the $150 buy in, that i won the free seat for.. starts at 8pm cst...

Ive found that i do better the less that i play, by that i mean when i play for hours, i have a tendency to lose concentration.. Im going to try and play 1 tourney per day and let that be it.. im just a recreational player, i love playing but i dont have the time to play 4-5 hours daily..

do you go by swami on partypoker?

When I enter via Party yes but I've been using Empire so I'll send you a buddy note when I get home and you can look me up when you log on. I usually play 10/20 Limit (3/6 when the games are not good at 10/20). 25 and 50 No Limit and the Sunday tourney 1x or 2x a month. Toss in an occasional 20 or 50 mutiltable tourney and the occasional 30 or 50 1 table tourney when I have exactly an hour to kill.

I WISH I has the time to play 4-5 hours daily. I probably log maybe 5-10 per week but lately that's been more like 2 per week.

Make sure that you have nothing better to do for about 9 hours! Those tourneys usually last AT LEAST that long.

By the way, you may be playing for a seat at a WPT event rahter than a huge cash prize. SOmetimes partypoker will give the top 10 only a free space on their poker cruises and a free entry into those tourneys

I have been on one of the partypoker cruises, I came in 149th place I think out of 700 or so. I only saw about 300 or so people, but hte board listed over 700 in the cruise tourney

yeah, i know what you mean about taking a long time, i played in some tourneys last summer on party.. best i did was 33rd place out of 600 people, so i didnt get anything.. i play aggressive early and either double up in chips or get an early exit.. terrible to sit for hours and finish out of the money.. 200 people in this one at the moment, one more hour to register.. prizes announced after registration ends..

Do you exaggerate EVERYTHING related to Party?

I've played in a few of tourneys at Party with 1300+ people made the final table a couple of times and finished in the money a few others and NEVER did it take 9 hours.

I won one with over 1300 people and it took about 7 hours so what is your source for a over 9 hour tourney at Party?

And swami, even with only 500 people, we are still looking at about 6 hours I would think

thats why im aggressive early.. double up and have a shot or get out and not sit there for hours, only to lose just out of the money..
