´Summer Million" day. 100.000 depositors day BankrollMob Freeroll day
Busy busy...
Party has SO many qualifiers running for the Summmer Million, never seen that many before. Playing a bunch right now, but as expected for a $640 entry, it´s no walk in the park.
Also deposited $25 just now so I could play the $100.000 + you get a reload bonus anyway.
And, of course, will be playing the Mobsters Tourney as well.

Update:
Busted out of 2 turbo sub-qualifiers. Played the direct qualifier for $1 as well, and my "statistically abnormal" streak of the last month still won´t let up.
Holding QQ on a 69J2 board, I put vilain all-in. He calls with AK I already know what´s going to happen... K on the river...game over.
AQs on a 37Q flop Chipleader puts me all-in after I raise on the flop, shows QJ. I already know what´s going to happen.... Turn is a J...game over.
When will this end? Haven´t cashed ALL month. Never happened before. My bankrolls are heading South...

that is some pretty rough luck
Is Party Poker your main site ? Have to play some MTTs with you when I get my $90 mob safe money on there.. is taking a while to transfer, other times I've had it within 24-48hrs, normally lost it in about the same too lol.
Whats the competition like on Party ?
Softest MTTs I've ever played were on Players Only, mostly yanks. I imagine Party probably has some stiffer competition than P.K.R does.

Like you said before, PKR is REALLY soft. Unfortunately, I deposited $50 there in the hope that my varience downswing would let up by changing sites, but I saw my roll go down to $20 in 2 days due to the same crap. Very sad, because they really can´t play for s**t on PKR and I should be cashing big.
Party is tougher, but still pretty soft I guess. A lot more traffic since FT went down. Big gambling donk/shark fields with little in between, so just play carefull until 2/3 the field is out and then the real poker begins. Some decent Sharks on there, but that makes play to the final table "logical" at least, so i like that.
The Deepstacks are great for Small Ball and trapping the Donks early. But of course they can last 8-10 hours for the FT. Lots and lots of qualifiers, much softer than on Pokerstars.
Fields are not overly big, except in the lowest buy-ins, of course. Less than FT and PS, more than on PKR.
I recommend the rebuys also, as you don´t even need to rebuy often and just double-up off the early Donk play. I almost never need to rebuy, just the add-on.
If you can run the $20+ buy-ins, fields are limited, and the play is not THAT great. Haven´t played many of those because I took my winnings out in May (and spent it ) (the FT scare) after hitting a lot of final tables, about 1 in 3 tourneys in that month.
Then when I came back from Belgium varience hit me and I haven´t cashed since. But the money is definitely there for the taking.

If you have 50 points, the 50 point qualifier just started. 1.000+ runners though for only 5 seats.
Not going to happen, but will try anyway.
------------ That was fast! First hand QQ. All-in. Villain shows KK. Game over. lol Wouldn´t normally do it that fast with QQ, but this is a huge field Turbo freeroll, so no choice.
Business as usual for me. Varience seems to be non-existent for me since some time, as varience implies your luck working BOTH ways. So let´s just call it a "curse". Must have pissed off some "Black Magic" practitioner last month. Breaking my head trying to figure out who, so I can appologize...
Sooooo.... no Summer Million for me today, which is too bad because I cashed well in that one last time and I wanted a Final Table there today so I could move to Fiji. No varience in Fiji, and even if there is...who cares?..

Party has the best tournies for today But the depositors one gonna be a hard one to land. Almost 22k players and only pays 1100 and the Summer millions... first time i see only 700 players. Its not only the summer but the fact that they have reduced seats from qualifiers. This one will be a good one to play. gl to all the members participating

It´s still 4 hours away. There are always a lot of late signups for the Million, so it should definitely hit 1.000+ runners. But still smaller field than usual because of the summer like you say probably. Would have been great to get in, but I should have started a couple of weeks back. Just forgot.

Good luck with the tourneys Jack! I have been trying to get back into the swing of playing the bigger tourneys but at the micro level to get back the feel of it, but no luck so far. Go for the mean green

Sounds interesting but i don't really like the platform so i quit playing on party poker couple of days ago lol
I also was interested in the 100.000 dollars depositors freerolls but i think the majority of players will make a min deposit in order to participate to this promotion.
Just out of couriosity what was the minimum buy in for a satelite at the Million??

Yep! I made a min deposit today as well just to play it. Minimum buy in for the qualifiers is $1, usually rebuy. Or the freerolls to the Million Special but they are tough. 1.000 runners 5 seats.
Have made it in there 2 x already, so it´s doable, but far from easy. The buy-in is $640, so everyione wants it.
------------ TOURNAMENT UPDATE: (on break)
100.000 depositors freeroll 16.400 runners left - I´m in 2.700th 5 people are away, but they are all in front of me with 4 players to my left. Sucks, because they all have position on me and are taking the blinds.
Playing a $6 Deepstack in the meantime 310 left out of 480 I´m in 21st place.

Damn you´re doing well! Too bad you can´t play it out, lots of cash at the end. I wish they would change my table, these guys have position on me every round. Back down to 4.400th now.
Oops! Looks like it crashed. Tournament paused all of a sudden... Guess 22.000 was a bit too much for Party?
