With only 1000 chips the tournament very quickly became a shove or fold competition. I wish the structure would have been this way during the whole leaderboard!
Lost my first stack with AQs vs QQ and then lost my 2 rebuys with 74 suited and 56 suited shoving 10 BB and getting called by 2 high cards No luck as I was live, connected and suited in each hand. Losing 3 in a row like that is pretty unlucky but hey you gotta build a stack somehow to win a tourney.

Well it seems that the structure of this tournament was a bit too quick and starting stack was very shallow, not sure if this was a good solution or not sincentherenarenpeople who like a deep structure but also some enjoy this quick structure since it doesnt take too much time to complete the tournament

I congratulate on a good achievement ... of course, after registering has its pluses and minuses .... for you it turned out to be very successful and you were able to climb very high ..... I also had something similar in some kind of tournament so I I see that this works ... Once again I congratulate and good luck in the game
So I got downvoted for saying I shove hands like 56s and 74s when I'm under 10 BBs on a 6 handed table?
Obviously the person who downvoted my post didn't understand that these were all correct plays. Not only does it take atleast A high to call the shove (should get about 80% of hands to fold), but when you do call the shove you're not gonna be a huge favorite unless you get an overpair. And also it is 6 handed tables so shoving wide with shallow stack is definetly less risky than it is on a full table. Even the most disciplined pros are aware that sometimes you have to gamble. Folding untill you have less than 5 BB is definetly not the way to go.

This is definitely one of the most valuable tournaments 888poker has ever offered to the members of BankrollMob.com. My utmost congratulations go out to all those who finished in the money, especially to ‘tropical’ who scooped a third-place prize of $375.

Someone would expect all 200 to be in this tournament. Probably it was the buy in, that made it having so few players. Only 52 of you with seven paid positions. And th best of it 875 US$ for the first place. Congratulations to all the ones that got paid
Also interested in this issue. The results was summed up two weeks ago! There are no payments so far and there are no explanations either on the website or on the forum! Someone can answer when to wait for payments or payments should not wait at all ???

Probably they dont have any update yet. If they did they would have placed a banner, in the leader board section Thursday today, i find it hard for any updates before, next week, unless you get lucky, with a response tomorrow.

It seems to me a total lack of respect that does not respond to the concerns on the subject. All I want is to collect what corresponds to me and no one gives me an answer. That's why last time I ask the forum moderator: When are they going to pay the prizes in the league? I'm already angry and a lot on the subject. Just right is just !!!

52 players and top 7 get paid a share of $2500.... not a bad outcome for everyone's hard efforts over the previous months. Well done tropical on your achievement and well done to everyone who won something on th leaderboard..... have patience, your booty will arrive...... this is BankrollMob, not have a promo and we won't pay you.com
No luck as I was live, connected and suited in each hand. Losing 3 in a row like that is pretty unlucky but hey you gotta build a stack somehow to win a tourney.
