Who is playing?

I had big plans last time but then again, you all read my blog on why I was unable to make it (hint: Evans birth)

Well this year I will be in school full time and working full time so I am planning on no messing around. I will be playing the $340's and after I get a seat I will try for another to sell so I can free roll (with some profit). What are everyones plans?

Last time I was at the Gates, I overheard some of the dealers saying you won't be able to sell seats this next time. Something to look into before you go to play - I'm sure Scrup can check it out next time he goes to play.

Well, same as before, it's going to depend entirely on work. I plan on buying into one $340, assuming I'm going to be able to do it.

We should all pick a weekend and go up. It was pretty cool to run into a bunch of the people up there the last time.

From the structure page of the $80 and $115 satellites.

I thought they changed this rule last time they were here in April. From memory, I think that you now receive cash for your win of a single table SNG and it's your responsibility to buy yourself into a $340 event. This eliminated the problem of people having certificates to qualifiers and selling out of qualifiers before they were able to sign in.

In April, they gave out cash instead of the seats. I hope that they do that again.

Also, they changed the sat format so that they pay 3 places in the $115 SNG, which should reduce variance. Bubble play should be interesting. I don't know if they had any of the $40 sats running in April as the $80 SNGs that paid 2 places were so popular.

Does anyone want to play some SNGs with the HPT structure here without the high fees? I would play or run them.

If I had more time I might consider this. I am currently planning on just buying into a $340, probobly on the 21st.

I can't play the 21st, as I've got tix to final Rox home game, but may try the 28th. That is, if I can find my doomswitch and turn it off, first. My run-bad chromosome has taken over the gene pool the last several weeks. I may try a standard issue BH tourney first, as a satellite of sorts. I don't dig on the structure of the HPT SNGs.

If I remember correctly the $340 structures were great. The sng structures are awful luckfests.

Wow! I hope to finally make the ME. I have come in two and five away from qualifying in the last two events. Not sure when I will make it up, but I plan to play in at least one qualifier. If they are running $115 SNG's that pay top 3, I may try a few of these. During the first HPT event, I placed third 3 times.

I don't know, I ran in to some real weirdos last time.....

[idh78]
