Party Cruise November 5 Semifinals (limit)
 

So, what are the chances this tournament will actually go off successfully?

Anyway, 452 entrants, 1st through 8th get PPM V cruise packages, 9th, 10th, and 11th get cash.

Best of luck to the other entrants, assuming I win a spot. Otherwise go screw yourselves.

I registered for the tourney but only get 1K in starting chips. The 3K is not available to me because of the $75 refund, or so customer service says. I'm now in the process of unregistering and on the phone with customer service. Players beware...

Now they are telling me I can't get a refund and I can't get the extra chips. this is looking pretty laaaame....and to think I though Party Poker was being generous with the $75 after the fiasco on Thursday...they are now hitting me over the head with it!

Re: Party Cruise November 5 Semifinals (limit)
 

that makes no sense whatsoever.
if you had 3k in chips for the Thursday one then you should have 3k in chips for this one.


I was registered for all 4 of these in advance so my situation is different.
Obviously the one that was cancelled now carries all the way up to January for me I guess.


I played the NL one last night and finished about 90th out of 680 (top 12 won the cruise).
Played decently I felt (haven't felt that way about many of my tourneys lately).


So far in this one...had AA busted by 88 so that hurt my stack a little.
Next hand (or maybe 2 hands later) KK holds up against some guy bluff-raising with AK on an undercard board.

So I'm at 3100 now.


Average stack today is 2575.
Yesterday it was something like only 2350 I think.
Yesterday I was on a table with 3 or 4 guys with 1300-1500 chips to start with (and one guy asking why some players had more chips than others).
That's something I think can be a big advantage in these.
Some of the newcomers have no idea that you can accumulate extra chips and start with very small stacks.
but obviously they count as a full-entry towards the prize-pool.
I think the extra starting-chips thing is pretty retarded.
But it works out better for me since I know about it...so I guess I'm not complaining.

I'm in like Flynn. I agree, the extra chips suck. People who don't know get screwed out of $250. Not fair at all. On the other hand, it is nice to play a Deep stack tourney. The fish are paying off nicely. Up to 5K.

Who's still in? I'm severely shortstacked with ~90 players left.

Re: Party Cruise November 5 Semifinals (limit)
 

Out 78th. Good luck to those still left.
