Well Marcipan, long story short … I did it twice, the chit-chat got more… prolly lost 1-2 hands in the next 4-5 cause I didn’t put pressure on or shove… ended up going out 4th , prolly 10 min later.
Alot of what I was going to say shouldn’t be in “sugestions & feedback”… but I will say this…
No Limit… is No Limit, and some luck is involved…
Those who complain about “bingo” players should be boiled in oil. I mean, really, if you can’t figure out how to deal with such players, maybe you’re playing the wrong game.
But no, instead of trying to work out a strategy, it’s so much easier to run to mom or dad and try to get such play banned. “MOM!!! He keeps betting more than I can call out of position with my K3 suited! I would really like to see a flop, please make him stop it!”
If you find yourself down to around 10BB or less in a tourney, you’re SUPPOSED to be in “shove or fold” mode. Calling someone a bingo player because they are employing correct strategy just shows how little some people understand the game.
How about you play how you play and let other people play the way they want?
Hey SunPGuru,
While I am in your camp ( I agree ), others weren’t really meaning that deep in a tourny per say… more like on a FL table, or in the 1st few levels of a MTT/SnG… which is different circumstance.
In Spanish casinos are lots of them.
Bingo is a big problem in the satellite fever tourneys.
This is because of the low buy-in. People use their daily free chips to enter, go all-in on almost anything and sometimes get lucky. If/when they bust they don’t care…they just get a free top-off of chips and enter the next satellite fever a few ours later to do the same thing.
Maybe next time have a 5,000 chip buy-in on special satellite fever tourneys. This would keep many of the bingo players away. You could award 5,000 chips back to the top 50% in addition to the 11 tickets to make it more attractive to the average player.
No Limit is No Limit, if you aren’t smart enough and/or brave enough to deal with “bingo’d” hands, then you need to go play ring games. Whittaker, you say in the new Fever MTTs, well I so far have 5 tickets (tied 1st), none of them were 2 (1st/2nd)… yes I have gotten beat out of a few early where the hand got bingo’d… but thats how it works, sometimes ya win sometimes ya lose…That is the risk ANY time you go all in… pre or post flop… … am I piss’d or want it changed, hell no ( except for even distribution of times )… buck up Wittaker, learn to use and abuse bingo players, and bingo’d hands…
Ohh and Whittaker… no difference between bingo players in a cheap tourney, and a bully in a more expensive ohh say a Red MTT ( leagues )… where the calibre of players is higher… Avoiding the landmines that will kill ya is a skill… learn it…
Being rude to players asking a question , answering a question or making a comment is uncalled for.
I also have 5 tickets with none of them doubles.
That’s not the point.
Its no fun playing bingo for the first 20 minutes.
The point of coming to this site is to enjoy oneself.
Bingo =No Fun For Good Players=They Leave
I’m suggesting ways Replay can avoid that…at least in the promotional tourneys.
You disagree. Fine.
No need to tell me I need to play ring games because I’m dumb and a coward.
Its a Suggestion & Feedback thread.
Why do you treat suggestions and feedback as a personal insult?
1st off Whittaker, no matter what Sharon says, I did not mean to insult you or be mean to you in my reply, if you took it that way, I’m sorry… depending, its easier to be very blunt than to be too "wordy"in a reply…
After playing multiple sites, I can tell you… you can not eliminate either bingo players, or ppl who bingo selective hands… Also, while I defined “bingo” in another post/thread, in truth more than 1/2 the time a “all in” is anything but a bingo…No-Limit is No-Limit … 1st hand in the MTT, 1st hand on the final table… while pre-flop All-Ins are very risky, pushing your opponent off a hand is integral to Poker… Whittaker, in another thread, I defined Bingo and listed 8 reasons to do so… but in reality there are far more than 8…
Now, you said replay can take steps to avoid this, but this is more-less false. I have heard stories that the more the entry fee, the bingo’s almost increase… so we have 2 Fever type MTTs, one is a freeroll, the other 2k… My guess is Replay did this as a way to advertize the upcomming RPOS and give the “poor” players a easier way to get into those events. If you didn’t read thru the RPOS promotion… those 24 MTTs are 15k/15k ticket to enter… so those ppl with bankrolls don’t need to bother with the promotional Fever MTTs… so making it 5k to enter will have no effect on Bingos, yet will effect negatively (potentially) the select players who will target a 5k fever MTT, because less players will pay 5k or play for 90 minutes for a 3x return on investment, thus a greater % chance to hit top 9, thus that can be abused to get tickets.
Lets say that the promotion was that only ticket holders could enter the RPOS events… Then more Fever MTTs would be necessary, and it would almost increase the amount of bingo’s hands early on as players try to hedge thier stacks to get deeper into the MTT. It would also increase the # of players entering making all MTTs last longer and would mask the bingo players because they would be spread out across the tables.
So … NO… if all the Fever MTTs are no-limit, there is no option to stop anyone pushing All-In. If on the other hand you are saying to add ML or FL MTTs as Fever MTTs then sure that is 1 option, I can think of a couple more but again that means changing the paramaters of the promotion.
Those are insults and they were directed at me.
Could this be the same Sarah who tried to sweet talk a guy into folding so she won’t finish 10th or 11th in a satellite fever? Offered to “take him for a walk”?
Then whined like a Pomeranian when he called her all-in bluff and sank her?
Nah. Couldn’t be.
Go sparkle someone else’s eyes.
LMAO… way to go Whittaker…Sarah will tell you not to listen to me , again , but she was insulting you and tried to worm her way out of it.
Well Whittaker,
You are correct as to some of my tableplay… it is also true that I sometimes have commented on losing hands as well as winning hands ( can’t remember what those are like lately (lol)). None of that changes what I said, in either post. If I don’t mean to insult someone and they take it that way and I try and fix that and they still take it the wrong way… then thats on them…
I certainly here and there, cut players slack for a variety of reasons… but in those cases its random acts of kindness… What you don’t know is I hate “bingo players” but thats different than bingo’d or bullied hands. You also referenced just the fever tournies, well I must say after winning week and getting a ticket on the 1st try week 2… I have now gone 0/23 in getting tickets. I too am being collected by suckouts… it happens. Then tonight I make top 6 in the American 5k, yet go out 70th-ish in the 15k… That just proves its not my decision making, just that lady kharma is working overtime in the fever MTTs for me…
I’m trying to talk to you, rather than over you Whittaker, if you can’t see that I’m sry…
I think we’ve reached an impasse.
Let’s drop it.
Simple answer, allow players in multi table tournaments to change tables when they wish (perhaps with a limit) so if a bingo player (or any player for that matter) is spoiling their game, they can elect to change tables.
If a player is annoying enough, everyone will leave, and he/she will have no one to play against.
Wouldn’t the bingo player have a “change table” button too?
Chg table button in a MTT, ohh yeah noone would abuse that for various other reasons. 
Go to pot limit games and enjoy life, what’s your problem ? All this kind of staff like change a table and limited amount of games played per month for leaderboard are for weak people that dreaming be strong one, I hate all this staff.
AGREED
Yeah, I would abuse it to death, but that’s because I’m a weak person who dreams of being a strong one!
I will abuse to pay tax and organize your live, pay you salery and pension, why should I do it if you cannot simple care of your life? Why do need think about people like you? Pay them salary , pay tax, pay insurance? Why do I need organize your life? You planing your life from salery to salery , but why
I need think about your whole life? And late I can’t eve play on poker by rules I won’t? Maybe better to back time when you all work for free and have no rules? That is more Fiar for me. Thanks.
