teaulc Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Today’s update includes a new tournament type called Multi-Entry tournaments. It is what it sounds like, and you can now play in the same tournament multiple times. Unlike the inevitable comparisons to multi-accounting, though, there is no unfair advantage here. You are always "you" and everyone knows it. You can never be seated with yourself, and if you eventually have more entries than there are tables, you will be forced to "merge" stacks (see the details page linked below for more on merging). Even players who don't like to multi-table can get in on the action. You can play all of your entries at the same time or just play one until you bust and register again (as long as late reg is still available) up to the limit for that tournament. To start, most multi-entry tournaments will have a limit of 4 or so entries, but this can and will move up or down on a per tournament basis depending on feedback and analysis. Many of the missing FTOPS events are Multi-Entry (including the Main Event), and the upcoming Double Guarantees Week will be entirely Multi-Entry. Lots more details can be found here: http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/multi-entry-tournaments _________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Re: Full Tilt - Multi-Entry Tournaments Initial thought is it seems bad as a lot of bad players get into poker after binking a big score in a MTT so this is likely to happen in these MTT.

Wouldn't that be a good thing then? Getting bad players into poker is +EV for good players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Re: Full Tilt - Multi-Entry Tournaments If they're playing the tournament then they're already into poker, but with MTTs like these they'll go broke quicker because it reduces the chance they'll luckbox a big score. Just playing devil's advocate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlydaveLDN Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Re: Full Tilt - Multi-Entry Tournaments I'm not sure if this is terrible or brilliant. As Nade says it could leads to people going broke quicker. On the other hand it could lead to fish playing even worse, similar to how they play in regular rebuys.

deadlydaveLDN Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Re: Full Tilt - Multi-Entry Tournaments I think it's bad for cash players though - less chance of a fish winning a tournament = less dead money dumped into random cash games.

sir_tubbs Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Re: Full Tilt - Multi-Entry Tournaments can you win 2 prizes then? surely if you have two stacks left and they get merged you would lose money as you would only get 1 prize.
