I personally LOVE the deep stacks and slow blinds Plenty of time to wait out the donks. Not many donks though, but there's one guy to my immediate left (german) who is continuously opening for 5x and then overbetting the pot. The guy is really horribad, just waiting for a hand to knock him out with
First break, 31462 / 46k and climbing. I bet any money this tourney will hit 60k before late reg ends. Definitely the longest reg pediod I've ever seen, but I think PS wants to at least beat their overlay if they can, since it's a million gtd.

I'm grinding my usual SNG session while playing the ME and the storm..I love the sotrem structure,ME however is totally out of line in terms of structure
I get flush draws, open handers and pocket pairs every hand but I never hit! Incredible how many times I couldve doubled up if I just hit my draws or sets. People are playing pretty agressive on my table and I have a maniac/station image!

I'm currently running 9/7. Tables pretty laggy, but I just haven't had a hand yet. Won 1 small pot when I opened LP with AQo, and then c-bet on a dry board.

i love slow structure too- and the bigger the stack the better, imho when you have lots of chips and time the poker itself becomes more interesting, you get to see more flops, less nonsense all ins before flop etc. good luck all mobsters participating in the tourney- hope we will get the freeroll retribution

I got AK once and a whole lot of garbage so far. Had to fold to a Russian on a 2AQ2 board all-in. He was probably holding what I like to call the "Russian Special"... A2
I had A10 suited on the button, raised 3x pre flop got called by 1010 on SB... Flop 10 9 3. Ouch! Should've played tight early with that structure, dumb me

Its because of the deep structure and the overalling of him looks veryx very suspecious,on the river you're basicly beating nothing reasonable..his play looks like he has a set,or if he's a big fish who called down with a flushdraw thats completed as well.

Right before break.
He's 19/13, and folded 75% of the time to c-bets, called the other 25%. Figured he's only raising with the goods, so I had to fold.
Gunna be shove/fold after the break, sitting on roughly 11 blinds left.
Plenty of time to wait out the donks. Not many donks though, but there's one guy to my immediate left (german) who is continuously opening for 5x and then overbetting the pot. The guy is really horribad, just waiting for a hand to knock him out with
