jomell Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Re: PartyPoker Monster Series Thanks all...just to add out of the last six remaining players at least three of us never had a rebuy! Play your normal game and let the muppets build up the prize money. It was like a freeroll early on...with all the Hungarians :rollin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Re: PartyPoker Monster Series I got so so close yesterday - got heads up in my first attempt at a $10 + $1 STT - only winner gets in the weekly freeroll. Had 4 bad beats while heads up and lost (posted the details in the bad beats thread). Really really frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Re: PartyPoker Monster Series Well done Jomell :clap :clap I've always struggled on Party - my "usual" game doesn't seem to work on there - I lost my original $50 deposit. I redeposited - $100 and decided that I objected to 20% rake ($5 + $1) so have started playing the $10 + $1 games instead - doing better - up to $190 but waiting to clear $200 before attempting Monster STT's.... So far as "value" goes - I think the STT's and MTT's are all the same - basically each place in the weekly final requires a $50 deduction from the prize pool to be "donated" to the main event pool - so whilst the perception of Value may be different, I think it is just perceived and there is no difference...... Might have to give one of these rebuys a go though ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomell Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Re: PartyPoker Monster Series Thanks Gaf. I usually only play on Crypto..like the software and have most of my funds in Betfair. I try not to play too much...hard to shift working...but still find sometimes i just go through the motions.Not really concentrating and end up making silly mistakes,so switch sites like Party Poker to renew my focus back. Not sure which weekly freeroll i will play in yet,probably see how this week's one go's.Over 2,300 enties in so far... Lets hope we can all get in many more :nana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgej Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: PartyPoker Monster Series Decided to have a bash at the monster STT Screwed up and went into a holdem limit game. Went down to 540 with 10 still in and blinds at 200/100 Congratulations on winning $0 in the Monster Single Table Tournament Qualifier (ID number: 27116507) that took place on 08/08/2006 at 19:48 ET. Your rank in the tournament was 1. :ok I'd rather be happy than right any day. Edit: Jomell - Partypoker site says top 1000 from weekly progress and top 1000 from monthly progress. No mention of 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedonist Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: PartyPoker Monster Series Sorry but I have to disagree here. There is a $30 + $3 MTT (not a rebuy) running at the moment with 20 entrants. Entry fees amounted to $600 + $60 The prize pool is $570 + 3 entries to the weekly final, this is good value. There was a $5 + $1 rebuy MTT with 130 entrants, there were 235 rebuys Entry fees amounted to $1825 + $650 The prize pool was $1277.50 + 3 entries to the weekly, I think that was very bad value. They have based the MTT's to break even with 100 entrants, any less is good value, more is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgej Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: PartyPoker Monster Series Quite right Jomell - i was going by payout Weekly - top 2000 qualify, top 1000 get cash Monthly - top 1000 get cash and qualify Thanks mate - that'll teach me to try to understand anything at that time of the morning :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensibleboy Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: PartyPoker Monster Series Im sick. Down to the last 30 in a qualifier there and got put out with AK against a measly 8 10. I sometimes wonder if poker really is pure luck. :sad :sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomell Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: PartyPoker Monster Series No problem George :ok We are all on here to help each other! It would be nice to get in the top 1,000,but most important the top 2,000,have you seen the prize money for the monthly game :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: PartyPoker Monster Series And well done George :ok :clap :clap Unlucky sensibleboy - Keep trying and I'm sure you'll make it :ok Frustrating losing when you are a favourite I know, but assuming you got the money in preflop and assuming holdings something like AcKd v Th8h, you were only a 60% to 40% favourite - you would win 3 out of 5 and lose 2 out of 5 - not that far from a coin flip and depending on stack sizes/blinds he could well have been right to go all in (even call all in) :sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomell Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: PartyPoker Monster Series Just won my 2nd entry to a $100K weekly freeroll.

Cloud Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: PartyPoker Monster Series 3 near misses for me now. Finished 5th in a 70 player MTT yesterday (top 3 got in), and have now finished second in two STT qualifiers - made cash in all 3 but don't have a golden ticket yet. You couldn't lend me one Jomell, could you??? :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
