Now that the Daily Dollar on FTP is Multiple-Entry, it's a total donkfest. It seems as tho people figure that they have 4 chances to win, so they play crazy and hope to get lucky with at least one of their entries. Plus, they get mad when one of their entries get knocked out, and just start going all in w/ their other entries. It doesn't calm down until there is like only 3000 ppl left. I used to always play the DD when it was single entry, and I'd always finish in the money about every other time. Now, it's like lottery poker. I managed to finish in the money (barely) w/ 2 out of 4 entries tonite. Basically made like 45 cents, plus my $4 back, but I had lost the last 3x I played, w/ 4 entries twice and 2 entries (my last $2) once. Thanks to sum freerolls, I got $5 at FTP and I'm now starting over again. Does anybody know sum good micro stakes tourneys on FTP to rebuild my bankroll with? Cuz it doesn't look like the DD is gonna do it for me.

Gtripp I really enjoy The Fergesun tourneies, they are only a dollar, but are pretty late. I find that the players aren't as skillfull late at night making the tournament pretty soft. Hope this helps, I still haven't tried one of FT's multiple entry tourmies, though it doesn't look like something I'd be interested in. GL at the table's mobsters

With the multiple entry the Daily Dollar is more or less a rebuy tourney, and players play it that way. So they are taking chances. Adapt to this or play other tourneys.

I already adapted. It's not that hard. Didn't u notice how I said it doesn't calm down til about 3000 players? Until then, tho, it's mostly lottery poker, which ppl play more like a freeroll than a rebuy. And I WANT to play other tourneys. That's why I ASKED if anybody knows any good micro tourneys to play in.

I'll have to check out those tourneys since I'm usually up late playing. Thanks a lot.

i decided 2 try sum sng's instead. i entered three $1+.10, 90 man sng's on FTP. lost one cuz i hit wrong button and raised all-in instead of folding. lol! lost 2nd one right before bubble cuz sumone re-raised my k-k w/ a-q and hit a ace. (so stupid. he re-raised all-in w/ a-q for his whole stack. i could've been raising w/ a-k. we were even stacked too.) and the 3rd one I WON 1ST PLACE!!! $22.50 off of $3.30!!! Much better than DD!!!

i agree that they have ruined daily dollar with these multiple entry system, i never played previous ones too cos i dont like big tiurnaments. maybe u can try playing tournaments with fewer players at some smaller site or if u doing gud in sng then build ur bankroll and then hav a bite at the daily dollar like bigger games.

I used to play the daily dollar a lot. And since they changed it I haven't bothered to play. Only time I did was when I won 3 seats from the 50 point satellites. It used to be an easy way to score some cash, but like you have all said, nothing but a donk fest now.

gtripp, I don't play it no more with the multiple entries. Just not as enjoyable, but your complaining about the multipl;e entries and playing 4 yourself.?????????????? Not giving you a negative / smart azz reply, just your complaint is backwards to what your doing. No matter, Good Luck and don't take reply wrong.

I played the Daily Dollar rebuy once, just to try the Multi-entry when they started with it 2-3 months back. Found some screenshots. The second was after 1 hour at the break. The first was after 3 hours.
I played both tables TAG, no rebuys. Funny that my stacks were bulding exactly the same way. Don´t remember where I ended up, but definitely no final tables. I would have remembered that!
I DO remember that I thought the best strategy was to play both tables well, even though I first hesitated to play one very agressively and the other tight. It gets crazy enough near the end. Better to have several tables still going IMO. So let the Donks play their game, I´ll play mine.
Don´t remember either when exactly they are supposed to combine your stacks. Is it only near the end, when you have more buy-ins than there are tables?
Anyway, will try it again this week now that I see this post. Probably has gotten crazier, though it was already pretty crazy back then. But I did kinda liked having the 2 tables in the same Tourney...

Hmmm don't like the daily dollar that much, u can play for hours, get in the money and have just a couple of bucks profit. But yeh, multiple-entry turns low buy-tourney's into donkfests. And yes, your stack will combine when u reach the final table. If u have more entry's left than there are tables, the 2 lowest combine

Thanks for going out of your way to make sure I didn't take your comment wrong. That was really cool of u. I get sum seriously smart-assed comments on this site sumtimes and it makes me not want to even come here. The ME itself isn't what's messing it up. I play all 4 entries w/ the intentions of cashing w/ each one. Some ppl just play crazy w/ all 4 hoping to cash in at least one, or get knocked out of one entry and go on tilt w/ the other entries. I play all 4 entries like each one is the only one, and if everybody did that, it wouldn't be so crazy.

u mean the FTP forum tourneys? If so, I do play them sumtimes. Sum really cool ppl on there. I play that just cuz the ppl are cool, tho, cuz u can't really win much. Sum girl hit a royal on me in that tourney one time! I was so mad cuz she raised, I re-raised w/ a-k, she RE-RAISED ALL-IN w/ A-10!!! Not an ideal hand to push with OVER a re-raise from a tight player, but she sure hit that royal on me. LOL!

ouch! yeah, i said it calms down around the 3000 ppl mark, but of course there are still gonna be some donks left that have gotten lucky. 3-4! at 3x the BB which, by then, had to be a pretty big raise. Why were they still around to see the turn, tho? Did they catch part of the flop or did u not raise cuz an ace or a king hit the board?
not been on the site since they started this new thing
