has anyone played a tournament set up like this.
Most tournaments ive played in are of a standard nature. Is this worth the buy-in? If so any advice?

Re: has anyone played a tournament set up like this.
I'm sure there's plenty of bad players to make it worthwhile. Round 1 is just like a super-sat, so survival becomes more important than accumulating chips, so don't take marginal situations without significant overlay. Round 2 is just like a regular 50 person tourney, so go ahead and take those marginal situations with plenty of overlay. good luck.

Re: has anyone played a tournament set up like this.
i played in one very similar, and will never do so again(though the payout structure is better in this one). the reason is that at the finals, everyone starts with the same chip count. that means you can run over the competition, have say 15% of the chips in play, then, in effect, give your chips away to other players before you even get dealt a card on the final day. also, there is no overlay, as all the re-buy money goes into the pocket of the event organizer, not to the prize pool.
cheers!

Re: has anyone played a tournament set up like this.
I was considering playing in this tourney, but the fact that 50% of the pool goes to charity definitely shuts me out of it. That said, there should be tons of dead money in this tourney, and if/when you qualify for the main event, making the money should be fairly easy.

My brother and I are actually playing in this tourney. What is your name maybe I will see you there. I was a little skeptical about the format as well but I also figured there should be a ton of dead money.

Re: has anyone played a tournament set up like this.
I busted out with about 50 people left when I had AA and some dude who was horrible had KQ and caught a Q on the flop and a K on the river. Had I won that pot I would had around 14-15K and definetly would have made the last 25.

update,
well i got to tell you these guys know how to run a tournament. they do use volenteers for dealers so you have to be patent but the people running the tourn. know there stuff. the tables are great the chips are nice. the comp was weak even at the final 50. i limped into 10th and was able to finish 2ed. i hit a straight on the river with seven of harts but made the winner a flush. if you live in this area (cincinnati) keep the website in your favorites [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
