True, when can we expect a final decision/options? n/m

[superleeds]

A couple of things

1 - Have you been in touch with true

2 - if its 34 players, are they gonna have the stacks they had when it went tits up

[Mike Haven]

1. Yes and No. Yes, I've written a number of e-mails today. No, I haven't received a response, yet.

2. I would assume that there is no reason to make it a serious money game and have only 34 in the replay unless they were brought back to their respective chip positions. Otherwise, it would seem reasonable to me to go again with the whole fun Team thing, from scratch.

I also abstained from voting, as I have no desire to play at True again because their client drives me crazy. However if I were voting, I would say that top 34 should play, not everyone, and this is coming from someone who got knocked out early. Bad client and horrible structure didn't change the fact that I played like crap.

Mike, I agree and disagree with that. I realize that this tourney is/was for fun and it always should be. So, if it were decided to totally replay it, I really wouldn't complain.

However, on the other hand, I was one of the Final 34 and I feel that it should be played out with only those left after the break. In fact, if it could be played out with the exactly same stack size and blind amount when the tourney went to break, then that would be fairest.

The 50 or so that busted out have gotten their refund back, hell that's better than where they were when things went haywire.

The other 34 of us played hard and deserve a basically 1 in 3.5 shot at getting in the money as compared to the 1 in 8.5 shot that we started the tourney with.

Additionally, I'm tired of those SS bozos running their yaps about this and that and how they would have won and blah blah blah, we (the Zoo) had our best tourney players remaining (Lori, Havana, Stunner).

BigEndian can can flap his yap about not being scared or whatever, but his but would be toast if he went to a Final Table with these three individuals. (OK, that was trash talk, not meant to be taken seriously).

As I said, whatever's decided is fine, it is all for fun. Hell just give me the Bellagio comp and I'll be done with it (I'm easy).

Mike,

To be frank, I was one of the 34 that were still in it and I voted for the Top 34. My reasoning is that there was no problem with the tournament up till that point and those that were eliminated earlier were eliminated within the correct structure. The players that were outed early got their refunds and that's better than they would have received if the tournament had continued correctly. If they choose not to continue playing there for the bonus that is their decision.

I do have one question however. What will the Top 34 be playing for? The refunds (prize pool) have been given back to all players. True CEO said a Freeroll. With what value added? Do we really expect True to fund the entire tournament which should be about $1700? To me, that's a pretty cheap price to pay for advertising but it's not my decision to make.

Thanks for listening.

I would think that True would have that information.

[JDErickson]

I don't have a total list but I had 3875 at the break. I know N1 was in the lead then. I had True email my tournament report. I doesn't list hand detail but gives you chip sizes and won/lost on every hand you play.

[sawil]

Just a thought ...

Have a tourney for the 34 or so that were left at first break, with the same chip stacks as at break if possible. These 34 would play for the prize pool.

Schedule another tourney (freeroll) with all players again that would count towards Zoo SS Toons bragging rights, etc.

The people remaining at the break would be able to play a small field tourney for a higher % payout, everyone including those that busted out before break would have the $22 refund, and everyone gets to play again from scratch for free ...

[n1stunnor]

Mike,don't know about the rest,but at break i had around 7500.
