'Sup Pokers and Pokettes! Who's been lucky enough to bag themselves a spot in tonight's Mystery Bounties Main Event final?
I didn't convert as many of those satellite ticket wins into qualifications as I'd have liked to have done, but I'm still pleased at having qualifying twice. In order to have a hope at opening a bounty chest, I wanted to have as big a stack as I could get. Unfortunately that meant risking busting out whereas I probably should have tried to be more conservative and taken through half a dozen shorter stacks instead. Hindsight and all that... all finalists are ITM, but with a field of over 10,000 finalists, even reaching a 3-figure prize place is going to be a tough ask, but anyone can have a chance of those $50k+ bounty chests so long as they can knock put another player!
I'm placed in the midfield so I'm hoping for a table full of shorter stacks for a chance of a bounty whilst the blinds are low!
I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I've heard people speculate as to how GG place players in these MTTs, in order to make a more favourable gaming experience for the recreational players - big stacks get put with big stacks, and short stacks with short stacks, sort of like seeding a tennis tournament, but reversed seeding π€£. If this is true, then there's a couple of thousand shorter stacks to place me with, and then all bets are on! Otherwise I'll be praying for that early double up.
Any other forum posters qualified for tonight, and/or like to share their experience of this festival so far? Just don't knock me out! π
