There are not many of us ex-Tribeca nutcases still around - minimum age requirement must be pretty high........
To think, after all that time that so many of us played there, & it was "home" to so many of us, those nice peeps from i-poker came along & snap destroyed the software, literally, just like that, overnight, now you see it, now you don't, come play on i-poker or get lost. Lovely.
Very sad, I thought. Of course, almost none of us went across to i-Poker, & no wonder, I could not half tell you some horror-stories from those people. Very nice people, mind, obv.
When peeps come on here & say they can get this & that super-duper rakeback deal at i-Poker, I just have to keep schtum, & hope they have their eyes & ears wide open. Good luck them.

yea, in my experiance on that particualar site, ive found big fields full of "lesser-abilityed" players. I think thats the nice way to put it.
As ive stated im playing at low stakes so this is maybe why.
However i think for all these tournaments are harder to win, they are easier to cash in. Im actually very disappointed to be down on that sitem, playing MTTs only, however ive looked over my exit hands and not a single one would i want to play different. Getting my stack as low sometimes yes i would play hands before hand different,

Quite possibly, possibly not, but you cannot seriously expect to cash in 80% of Tourneys on 'Stars!
8% is MUCH nearer.
'Stars is a great site, no doubt about it, but even though I'm on the other side of the fence, & pehaps biased, you can't go telling people they can achieve an 80% cash rate in Tourneys on any site, anywhere, any time! It's simply not possible. Anyone who thinks otherwise is heading for a nasty shock, I'm afraid, & I'd rather we did not mislead anyone. There's a lot of gullible peeps around, & we must (imo) be responsible in what we tell them.
"lesser abilitied" players are not as easy to beat as you may think, they are not, that's why poker is so popular - ANYONE can bink a win here & there.
If Hellmuth or Dwan or whoever played 10 Main Events on Sky Poker, they'd be lucky to cash twice from 10, & win 1 in 100. If they get lucky. Poker is a great leveller. Thank God.
I shared a table with Humpo a few months back and shared a table with Moorman two nights ago. I realise you have all probably heard of Humpo but Moorman is quite good too. Ex-Tribca's don't die off easily. Posted by elsadog

i revolke my statement because im an idiot who says silly things.
I think 11% is readily achievable if you can stay awake long enough 'cos the fields can be mega. I play the mid stakes 180 seat sit'n'goes ................ and I just won one about 2 minutes ago ) Posted by elsadog

Good job - well done!
Nice size tournie so you can get to know some of the players as tables get shifted about.

Thank you sir. Actually you hardly ever see the same player twice. They fill up 180 seats in a matter of a couple of minutes and there are literally thousands playing them. The low and micro stakes fill up even quicker.

Well done on the win, too.
