ive used the tickets as a single buy in in three different tourneys and of course i was behind before even the tourney starts from all the players with multi entries played 2 and managed to cash 2$ as well. not very happy with the result. this week though prizes are double
the multi-entry has ruind this tounry it was bad enough that it only cost a dollar for the donk aspect they would run put a luck now people look at it like a rebuy. i wonder if the ceos at fulltilt ever hear of the saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it"

I used to play it a lot I found the best strategy was to register late just before it went on the add on break, instantly buy a rebuy then the add on during the break. Stack of 5,000 (50 big blinds) without playing a hand, also the early donkeys have either built up a stack and are now playing properly or the donkeys have busted
I had a week where I cashed every day in it but as said above since it went ME I have not bothered to play it

I'm in agreement with timborep! I don't care for the muti-entry. Used to play it every chance I could until the modification. Just don't think it's the type of tournament for multi-entries. This has increased the amount of players by 3 times and there were enough prior to this.
Sorry to hear about the storm knocking you out p0ck. Good Luck to All!

Not to bad, but if you had a 50K stack you'd would have done considerably better unless you really did something outragious. I know I bit the dust on an Omaha High one day due to my computer acting up while half my stack was in a hand with a flush. Come back on and was down from 132,00 chips to 56,000. Yes, I remember well and it was very upsetting. I've never done that well in the daily though! I'd probably be a little frustrated to settle for $5.40 after 3hrs. We'll see you tomorrow in Mobster Mania, until then Good Luck to you and All!

I don't like the daily$. I've played a couple in the past but not anymore, not because it's ME, but because u can run good and play for hours, finish high in a big playerfield but unless u make it to the finaltable you still have very small winnings. That's because of the pay-out chart Ft uses, small buy-inn tourneys pay-out alot of places very small prizes

Exactly what I was going to say. Play from late evening until early morning (6AM or something), just to end up 50th with $8, after playing well so many hours and outplaying more than 10.000 entrants. Kinda sucks. I used to think it was fun at the beginning a few times, but now...pffff...no way. If they ran some in "my" daytime, I might still play it once i a while, but the whole night. Nope!

the biggest problem with the DD for me is the time if the had it around 5pm GMT it would be great just the long nights playing it when i have to be up early kinda sucks
