OT: My first final table in 2 years.
 

Well, I finally made it to the ft of a $33 rebuy tourney on empire. I got breated and called many names at the start of it because I "bought" 6000 chips. It was kinda funny having a 10k stack after the first 10 minutes when the next biggest was 3k. My first table was full of nits. There was one rebuy besides mine. It was the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Well, 10th place makes me $1 profit, so i'm a big winner no matter what. I only have 13 big blinds right now, so I am probably going to lose.

Oh yeah, it is the $10k guarenteed under special tournies.

I'm going to guess Empire

Re: My first final table in 2 years.
 

yep...Empire...I thought i put it in my post...i guess not.

Re: My first final table in 2 years.
 

Too bad the big stack is too your left, but good luck I have to start another set.

Good work with the rebuy strategy.

Re: My first final table in 2 years.
 

Yeah, it sucks because the big stack to me left calls EVERYTHING.

Re: My first final table in 2 years.
 

The empire guranteed daily are soft IMO, I have had some good success with them.

Even though only the top 5 or 6 would pay, for some reason people would get incredibly tight with 11 or so left just wanting to make the FT even though there is no money.

FJ, IIRC Empire used to charge you rake for each rebuy/addon. I am assuming they changed this, but can you confirm this?

Re: My first final table in 2 years.
 

They charge the normal rake for every rebuy...$3 each time in this one. Not a very good deal. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

What were you thinking of calling in the SB with a ~minraise, call, push in front of you?
