this is likely a literal pajeet thread by scammers to get more money from people after everyone else quit though.

watch the tables. they mock play in bot style till a real player enters then they rape them. if you see a table with one player its fair, so join that and then they will have their friend join to cheat as well.

I've been playing 888 cause it is the fishiest but tournament selection ia shit. I have to get up at 7:30 tomorrow cause I accidentally won a satellite.

Wasn't super clear about this. After 24hrs you can check the hole cards of every person on the table for every hand you play. If you can detect collusion in your hands, you can report and probably get your money back (haven't really heard of anyone catching collusion tho fwiw)

lol this. Some guy on 2p2 did a statistical analysis of those large player-pool tournies. You can be a world class player and literally still wipe out in hundreds of them before you cash in the top 5. They're notoriously soul crushing because of the long stretches of breakeven/losing money you experience. The idea that you can make a consistent daily income from mtt's is absurd - maybe from sng's, probably from cash games if you're constantly sitting to the left of weak opponents and avoiding solid players.

>> No.8351281

>>8351189
You can run some variance sims on this site http://pokerdope.com/tournament-variance-calculator/

While "consistent daily income" isn't possible, its possible to make a somewhat consistent income from MTTs. The key is massive edge (only sitting in tournaments you crush) and small field size. With a very high ROI, a moderate to low average field size and strong volume you can avoid losing months.

If you start sitting the sunday majors on big networks you are going to have some real swings. GOAT top tier players can have like -500 buy in swings if they are running bad enough when their average field size is like 1000+
