I already saw tourneys for this starting at $0.50, with prizes reaching $80, what a bargain! It sure compensates to give it a try or two. And I thought fields would be bigger than they seem, at least in these first events they weren’t as huge as I was expecting.

Once I get paid I may look into this.
that's some sick prizes to be taking down. Really don't understand the chopping, guess people don't want to take risks, but it's a game of risk and if i finish 1st I want my 1st place paycheck. Also psychologically, if your opponent offers up a chop the you are going to play less well safe in the knowledge it's going 50/50.
Still some tidy take downs, the big events look juicy for the buyin/return ratio

I like the MTTs series. Pokerfest, the upcoming SCOOP, the missed FTPOS (and the MiniFTOPS). Specially fun if you stake some player (i can play longs MTTs so i did some stakes). Good luck to all the mobster that are gonna play in it!
