Ok lets get it straight.. this thread is AGAIN about Full Tilt poker.. and it again has a negative aspect, even though its not that bad this time.. its just VERY annoying.. So Ive been playing the last place pays satellite and there are 2193 participants in it.. there are 731 tables with 3 players each.. you have to eliminiate the other two players from your table to get to the next round.. I was doing pretty good, getting hands and getting paid.. it didnt take me long to beat the other two playes at the table.. then the game has paused for me saying the game will resume when all tables have just one player left.. the blinds started pretty small.. so now there is only one table left with two players left and them being afk.. so they auto-fold everytime and their chip counts stay the same the whole time.. as the blinds are not big enough this has already been going on for about forever -_- and it will go on for quiet some time.. dont know how you can generate such a way of a tournament without thinking that far to see that such problems could occur.. ok its a freeroll and im grateful for it but thats just a bit of bull.. take it easy, anyway... haha

The title of your thread is quite ironic. How is it FTPs fault that people joined the game and then sat-out? Also - blinding out opponents - even on level 1 blinds, should generally be quicker than beating any semi-decent opponent. Personally - I've never been disappointed to have my opponent(s) sitting-out.

You didn't get the point. Both players on that table were on sitout. So that table will not finish untill one of them returns. All the other players of that tourney have to wait. I will not say it is Full Tilts fault, but they didn't make a fool proof tourney, and two fools destroyed it.

I'm not sure I'm getting this right, what you're saying is that in this free roll even if you're sitting out you can not be put out? That doesn't make much sense. When they got down to 1BB it just stalls the tournament for all player on all tables until these sitouts return? How is that possible. Every tourny would never finish.

AAhh ! right right, i get ya. My apologies then, that is a bit crap. Of course, the format probably wasn't designed for freerolls, not saying it couldn't happen in a non-freeroll, but it would be a LOT less likely.
still, that sucks.

The table with two sit-outs would play until the the blinds put them allin, then there would be a winner.. So you would have to wait from level 1 blinds all the way until the blinds were the size of your starting stack...

Ah, I see, that is some what annoying. Wouldn't most of the other live people be playing until pretty late in the blinds anyway? How much extra time did these guys really add over and above the longest running game between to real players. I suppose it could use repairing though.

Considering it is a freeroll - and 3 seater tables, I am guessing most of the donks went out during level 1/2 blinds
