Wouldn't you know it, but this week Fulltilt is doubling the guarantee on all it's guarantee dollar tournaments, and of course, I had to go out of town on business. Got back today however, and certainly am jumping in, starting with this one:
Nice little cash, but man did I get screwed down the stretch by the "Asian jew"! First, this donk shoves his SB into my BB, an having AJ, I knew I was way ahead:
Then the final blow now holding the mighty AJ:
That's freaking poker I suppose.
So far from what I've observed, FT seems to be hitting these double guarantee's. Partly, there are a hec of alot more players playing the site, and I'm sure this is attracting some new blood into these tourney's. As of this post, over 104K players are on right now! When did they go over 100K? Man I have missed that boat!
They are also seemingly holding the registration open until they hit that guarantee too! I saw one tournament where the registration was still open 40 min past the starting time! Thats one way to make sure you hit it!
So with many more players than usual, YMMV as the donks are out to play in these...and I use the term 'play' very loosely of course.
If you've venture into these waters, good luck, and hopefully the carnage won't be too bad!

The poker gods are a fickle group. Great run!
Btw I've seen them hold late reg open for nearly an hour this week. Frankly I don't mind that, it increases the prize pools, and while being 5 minutes late doesn't really matter generally speaking, if someone is willing to contribute a full buyin to start 50 minutes late with below average chips and an M of 20 instead of an M of 60 like people started with, that's all good for me.
2x guarantees this week has left me feeling very empty that I haven't been able to close out on any of the big stacks I have built up in these events. Here's hoping we both smack something big in the next couple of days.
