So last night, I tossed $25 into my pstars account to check out how their guaranteeds are. I played 3 tournies, lost all 3.. lol. They were small stakes, $1.80, $4, $3?..
Anyways, my thoughts and observations on these tournies.
- Insane amount of people register for these things, late reg stays open for quite a while and people just pile in. Makes the final pots very lucrative and pays out a lot of positions - even just to get your money back and a bit.
- Early stages is RIDICULOUS play, some of the hands I saw people pushing all in with just blew my mind, calls that even a retard wouldnt make, like calling with 9 high on an all overcard board.. lol.
- 2 of the tournies I was able to get up to MASSIVE stacks, putting me in the top 50. Once I reached the top 50, they immediately put me on a table where most of the stacks were close to my stack size, or bigger (wouldnt want to spread the big stacks out across the tables now!) This is when things got rough... I believe I played well, lost my AK vs AQ, in typical pstars fashion, flop came AxxQQ, Lost my flopped full house AK vs 88, board came AKK.. turn and river.. you guessed it.. 88!!!!!!!!!!
My concern is that I see a lot of absolutely obsurd situations on pstars, a lot of runner runner FTW, backdoor completed FD's with nothing else to be calling with.
Your thoughts? Should I continue to play these tournies for the sheer payout should you place in any worthy position?
