Joined the easter marathon omaha high low qualifier last night.
Literally every hand three or four people all in pre-flop. And this at the starting level blinds 20/40 with 5,000 stacks.
Waste of time. Bingo on steroids.

Trying to put some context to the situation. Realize that yesterday was the final day to win a Final Ticket. Normally it’s not a Bingo fest.
yeah those big promo tournaments are a drag. I have entered a few, most recently Bust The Staff, this time I tapped out quite early.
you can definitely still win—you just fold a ton in the early/mid stages—but it’s pretty boring.
Sounds like as you’ve increased your BR you aren’t (or no longer) into just having fun playing on a Free Chip Poker site. Everyone I guess has a different motivation. I’ve always enjoyed the RP Promotions since the beginning. They’re actually pretty creative in encouraging participation which I’ve always felt was the primary intentions. I think Fizzy has always done a good job in that effort.
Btw, I’m not criticizing your motivations to play.
oh they’re great tournaments! just not for me given my current motivations, 100%
it’s not so much that the chips aren’t worth my time, though. I still play 20k league tournaments semi-frequently. it’s more that those super-big fields involve so much unskilled play that I find the early stages tiresome.

Bingo Boy is a good opportunity to win big early. You just need to be patient and wait for the cards to come into your range.
