Let's do it again!

[Hauser_III]

There's usually about 600 entries, give or take. The ones that I have been in, about 1/3 drop in the first hour, and then about 3/4 of the remainder drop by the end of the second hour. Usually pays the top 64, and hand-for-hand starts with 90 (yes, 90) left, unless PartyPoker's changed the structure in the last couple of weeks. The really bizarre thing is that the hand-for-hand stops at 70. I still can't understand starting at 90, which is too far away, and stopping at 70 BEFORE the money's been reached. Hand-for-hand then doesn't start again until you get much closer to the final table. Anyway, getting down to the money usually takes the better part of the third hour. So figure 3 hours if you get into the money, another 2, maybe 2.5 hours, to make it to and through the final table.
