Don't know. I played that one on stars and it was a complete mess. Ridiculous late reg period and a completely anti-skill blind structure. Lost before playing 100 hands when already had 2 options: push or fold. For me it shouldn't count.

Whatever they do they will always remain in the shade of Pokerstars. but the tournament will be really big as they have added so much money to the prize pool, but too many people will mean after some time allin/fold and crazy blinds

they buyin $5 or 1000ftpoints isnt that much, but this is gonna take too long to participate. the last one on PS took 10hours? have fun... the prizepool is awesome tho. maybe i will if i have nothing better to do, allthough i dont think its possible to play serious with so many players.

This is a great idea by full tilt poker! The thing is only two online poker rooms can achieve the biggest online poker tourney: full tilt poker and poker stars. Personally i would prefer fulltilt. Maybe i will play this tourney.

I just cant understand one thing in the middle of all this attempts to break Guinness World Records: if they really want to achieve it, they should be charging money for the entrance. What will a participant win? "The oportunity to put your name in the history of poker". Ok, great, in addition to fifty thousand more names. And what will Fulltilt win? 50.000 times $5 equals $250.000 plus the $1.250 every month till someone breaks the record. Would be easier if they give their registered clients tickets to participate in that tournament? Everyone would be happier and Fulltilt would win money in the same.

I am not sure if freerolls would count. And i doubt that the Full Tilt server park could handle much more than 50.000 players. They expect 15 minutes for seating alone!

thats why I regd for it.... lol the chance to sit down with a pro, and all it cost me was 1k FullTilt Points lol its a freeroll to me. Bet im out by hand 6
well I registered, but dont expect to be there at the finish. I wish all BRM members the best of luck who have entered. Be interesting to see who finishes the highest of us
the all idea wasnt so bad but the winning this of this tournament is almost impossible, i would say more all persons on final table needs more luck than brain, so huge tournament is determined by luck not skills, lets give example i didnt have any idea how to play tournaments 5 years ago, i won freeroll with 3 000 entrants when we got buble phase i were abolutley last stack with over 150~ persons left how did i won? by sic luck and the one who will win this tournament will need ultra sic luck not skills or brain
BankrollMob Forum » News » Full Tilt poker aims to create the biggest online tournament ever
, eg due to better bonuses / gift shop and maybe freerolls
a lot of pros in it also.
