I've played over a 1,000 SnGs and the one time that I ever signed up for a game other than NL holdem i immediatly noticed and left long before the game started. I've heard a lot of other people have this problem though and I don't really understand how you accidently sign up for a SnG that doesn't say "NL holdem"

I signed up for a limit 22 once... uggghhh the most boring 4 hours of my life. It ended when I got my aces cracked. I would have had 4K chips but nooo, we're playing limit here and you can't force someone out.

It was one of those frantic PARTY JUST STARTED THREE NEW NL SNGS SIGN UP SIGN UP SIGN UP rushes and I accidently snagged a PL one.

I changed my mind about PL SNGs because I managed to win the one I played so they're good now and I'm a postflop expert so feel free to just ask me anything about postflop play or being a stud in general.

When I first started 4-tabling I accidentally signed up for a PL SNG and didn't notice until Level 4. When I tried to ramp up my aggression like usual, I couldn't figure out why the slider wouldn't let me go all-in. Whoops. I still took 3rd in that tourney if I recall though.

Yeah I completely forgot until I "pushed" A2o for 350 instead of 500 from the button and got a call from the BB. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

I managed to catch a deuce though and that was good enough to put my last 150 in and the BB folded.

Someone needs to invent an autosigner. You start the signer and give it a limit on games and a max on total games played. every time you close a game it signs you up for another one, until your total is complete.

I signed up for a 5+.50 last night instead of a 15+1 turbo. I couldn't figure out why it was taking so damn long hahhaa. Then after I finished a set of 10 I went to input my results and saw a win of 27 bucks. I was like, "27 bucks what the hell is this???!!" hahaha I played the whole tourn and won and didn't even know I was in the wrong type. pfffff.
The funniest part of the whole thing was on the bubble I remember i was pushing like every other hand with blinds 100/200 and an ante, thinking, "these guys are so damn weak, they keep folding, the blinds are going to be 200 400 in like 30 seconds." like 7 minutes later, I'm still pushing and the blinds are the same. Had no clue what was going on. hahahahaa.

It once took me until level 3 to notice I was playing a 50+5 limit holdem tourney. I usually play super tight early on and it wasn't until level 3 that I actually had to make a decision. Playing 7 other tables didn't help either

that's funny hhaha. You go to make a raise and they give you one choice...no type box.

I once started a 55 Limit SNG and didn't notice until it was level4 when I tried to push and couldn't find the slidebar

I play the party Super Weekday MTTs every once in awhile, but not too often cuz they're at the upper edge of my bankroll limit...

I once signed up for the Wednesday one without paying attention and got over a half hour into it before I noticed it was a LIMIT tournament. I spent the first half hour confused as to why nobody was busting out, and I wasn't getting any good cards so I hadn't had to make a betting decision yet.

God I felt like a dumbass... and it had to be a $150+12 tourney that happened on instead of a $30+3 or something /images/graemlins/mad.gif

It's worse when you on the first hand realize you have four hidden cards, realize you aren't that familiar with the rules of Omaha Hi/Lo and quickly has to google for the rules.

I accidentally signed up for a limit hi/lo omaha once. I placed second just because I didn't know what hand to risk all my chips with, and the others got knocked out before me. Let the blinds take me....

6 months ago I accidently signed up for $5.50 limit MTT on UB not realizing it wasn't no-limit. That was the first time I had EVER played limit and I finshed 2nd /images/graemlins/grin.gif ($200 prize for $5 buy in wasn't bad at all). The play was absolutely horrible though-mostly maniacs in the beginning and ALL weak tight pansies at the end of the tourney
