It was a re-buy LC up until around level 6. I had 4 entries, though I only used 3, so everytime you got knocked out you could simply re-register if you had tokens left.
The downside was that it diluted the prize money, and the slowplaying around the bubble was horrific. I just gambled with my rebuys till I doubled up then tightened up till after the bubble to make sure I cashed. The difference between 20th and 63rd was only 8 bucks so there wasnt much point taking risks. The only decent starting hand I picked up all game was 10/10, funnily enough the hand I went out with, and I went pretty deep, so clearly the standard wasnt great.It was mostly just a case of looking for good spots to steal, which wasnt that hard given how much limp/folding was going on. Steve 10k was on my table for about 2 hours and was doing something similar. |

Yes last night was a trial run for me in readiness for tonight,there was nothing I could see which stated when the re-entry period ended, but it appeared to be at the same time as late reg ended, which was around the time of the first break.
You also have to manually re-enter yourself which meant the sit-outs left the game the first time they were blinded out, which was a relief, as waiting for them to blind out 4 times would have taken forever. Basically you get 4 chances to double or triple up in the first hour. As long as you manage that, and the odds are heavily stacked in your favour, then its just a case of managing your stack so you guarantee a cash with a playable stack. The bubble went on for around 30 minutes last night, it was complete paralysis and Timebank City, but it was a great opportunity to chip up at the expense of those on your table who were clearly only going to call with AA or KK. With double the prizepool tonight you should be able to pick up $40-$50 by scraping into the money without actually playing more than a couple of hands once you double up early. |

I built up a $5,000 chips by level 10 with my first re-entry, played 66 really badly but shoved because I had 2 other bullets.
Didn't realise the other 2 bullets were dead by level 6 It's the first re-entry I've played, I'll know better tonight ffs. And I did play the rock early as I thought my re-entries would come in useful later. |

Not the greatest customer service from Betfair.
No reply to e-mail within 24 hours. |
By:
how do u know about bullets? i got a ticket now for the freeroll 2night.
|
By:
To be honest Ted you dont. I assumed I had 4 entries as thats how many was on the screen shot I sent them.
Theres nothing to tell you how many lives you got or when they expire. From what I could gather the re entry period ended after 9 o clock because thats when the field started reducing rapidly and people getting knocked out weren't coming back. However dont take this as Gospel its just what appeared to happen last night, and clearly there were people even in the early stages getting knocked out and not coming back who presumably only had one entry. |
By:
I won 4 tickets for tonights freeroll, but the nice guys at betfair have credited me with 16!!
I'm gonna be gambling like crazy for the first hour! I aint complaining but it sums up how incompetent they are. What a fiasco this promo has been. |
By:
i only got 1 ticket, so guessing i aint got 4 bullets.
|
By:
cheers for your help guys, and hope we met at the final table.
|
By:
Look in my poker you probably got 3 left.
|
By:
and good luck too and you chipfire.
|
By:
Well I doubled up first hand a 10 vs j 10 so started well.
|
By:
Another 1500 second hand a 9 vs 5 2
|
By:
none in my poker, just 1 token i used. barely played a hand , moved table 3 times, once back to first table.
|
By:
Go chip keep building those chips.
|
By:
Got 5k in chips will just sit on them till bubble bursts.
|
By:
WARNING - if you had more than 4 tokens, only 4 count. I had 7 or 8 but the rest are worthless as I'm out after only using 4.
I shouldn't have played like I did tbh, but still why give extra tokens if you can't use them |
By:
^^^ I have to admit I'd be seething if that happened to me. I cant see anything that states who many lives you can use in the tournament lobby or when the re-entry period ends.
|
By:
The buy ins were tied to the scratchcards, I had 3 in the $5k last night and 4 in tonight's game. You can see what tokens you have under "My Poker/ Tokens"
Had to join tonight's game late and went through 2 buy ins already |
By:
Like gnasher says the Freerolls were what it was about, it equates to £50 worth of buyins to low standard MTT.
|
By:
7K chips 85 left
|
By:
Thats all you need really. Sit it out till bubble breaks. As long as you got 5k left at that point you got fold equity.
|
By:
true no point playing anyway all folding lol
|
By:
Short stacks are already slowplaying. Just pick a spot to steal every now and again.
|
By:
Damn just got caught down to 4K
|
By:

|
By:
One double up and you laughing.
|
By:
I gained 7k on the bubble as everyone was so tight but the shortest stack doubled and then doubled up again against me and made the cash. I took a hit but I'm about average stack.
|
By:
Just doubled up 4 of a kind!
|
By:
