Title: New Tournament
Post by: nosey-p on January 12, 2011, 07:03:22 AM
New Tournament

Enter multi times at the start of a tournament (not re-buy)

If it's a $2 buy-in then you can buy in say 4 times at $2 = $8 and play 4 games in 1. If you get 2 to the final table then you merge your stacks in other words you won't sit at the same table twice.

Interesting concept, but Wayne - which site and when?

I suppose you have to admire them for attempts at "innovation". But is it really, not sure if their variations on the format of table contruction (rush etc) is a good thing. Or maybe I am a Luddite  ::)

Isn"t this akin to multi accounting - if I read it right

Essentially your getting to play more than one hand

You say you get more than 1 stack to a final table they merge so you can"t play more than one hand but what happens if you get moved to a table that you have a stack at already, I presume they get merged. Then when the table breaks your at a disadvantage as you only have 3 stacks instead of 4 and there is everychance when you get moved tables/merged stacks that you"ll be at an advantage as both those stacks could be short already

I don"t like the sound of it. It only helps those with a big enough bankroll to enter 10,15,20 times in a tourney and merge into monster stacks early on

Like the concept - a good way at lowering varience.  Prob will be a factor in me transferring $$ bk to ftp.

won"t happen.  software will not merge your stacks until it absolutely has to, as you will get $$ when this happens such as you have two stacks merged at final table, or one of five remaining entries gets merged at final 4 tables.

personally, I think this is a terribad idea, especially when colluders/multiaccounters figure out how to run 40 entries so they can dump on their strongest entrant and try ensure merge payments.
