started with over 30 runners

and it was a forum member :lol:



Actually, it was me, and I started playing at 8.20pm if you actually cared to take notice. Family emergency called me away at 7.20pm. Came back with 1400 chips left.

In fact I had a lovely little argument with someone about table talk with 2 tables left. Busted with AJ10x vs KKxx on a KKxxx board - all in preflop.

So before you actually claim someone didn't play a hand, actually check if thats the case.


I know someone who played two hands, had a power blackout and finished 3rd. 90 freaking minutes without poker.

sitting out and hoping you cash is probably the best thing you can do EV wise. it means your poker game doesn't get in the way :D

My only question is what tie are we putting in?
The 888 GMT or the actual time for registering on your computer?
For example the 11:30pm 888pl (c) game is 13:30 GMT, also it would have to be 11pm Adelaide time.
So which time would I be putting in?

I would suggest the time that your computer is at when it corresponds to the tournament time.

So 11pm Adelaide time, if the your calendar and clock on your computer is correct.

Yes, use local time.
10:30pm local SA time feeroll, starts rego at 7:30pm, so anytime inbetween...
I would use earlier, like 7:45 to guarantee a seat. Dont input the start time of the tournament, but whatever time (local) that you would like to register for the tournament.

Look, I didnt intend this to be used be everyone (although cant prevent it), and most dont need it. But as I said in OP, there were people saying that by the time they got home from work, the early freerolls were full, and they couldnt play the late one's as they have to get up for work the next day. This little utility solves their problem. And it only works for a single tournament.

If its going to be a problem, them mods can always remove it.
And personally I dont see how it will increase the deadstacks on tables.
But I notice only 4 people have downloaded it, so...

As for site TOS agreements, dont PokerTracker and HoldemManager have table scanners, looking for certain types of players on those tables, then the software can auto open and seat you at the table? Then there is TournamentShark, which while not openeing a table, gives access to tournament stats for the players at your table from sources like sharkescope etc, and that was built WITH pokerstars staff input. And sites like fishfinder.com?
I cant possibly see how this can violate any TOS.

But, you cant please everyone...

I'm sorry, but if you think I'm entering my login details into something you wrote then you are DREAMING :)
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!
