Has enyone ever played in these?

$20 tournament, T5000 with 30 minute blind levels.

94659244 is one tomorrow.

I was looking for a longer, nicely structured tourney to play in while my wife's away for a couple of days with work and can't complain about me playing online poker for extended periods of time, but I don't know if this is one step too far for my fairly good levels of patience. To go the distance must take hours. I'm going to see when today's one finishes also.

I've never seen these before (never looked I guess) and was just curious if anyone had tried them.

Here's one of my experiences with them- http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/online...ep-stacks.html

I like them a lot, but its hard finding the time/schedule to play them.

Wow. 11 hours for 580 players. The one currently running only had 135 players I think, and is now heads up at 3hr 45 so that sounds more doable/pleasant than the one you did very well in.

They tend to suit my more patient style, and there's always a large % of impatient Donks that are only adding to the prize pool. Given I have the time, I'll have a shot I think.

Gaarrrrgh. Ticking along starting to get a little short stacked and then 2 and a half hours in I'm out, in 120th out of 250 or so.

My AK flopped Axx called by villain with AJ who hit a J on the turn, crippled me.

Next hand pushed with 77 called by A10, board paired 8s and 9s, and counterfeited my 7s.

Certainly have to have a fair bit of patience for this, but overall quite an enjoyable structure.

Unlucky pal, at least you went out due the cards and not your play.

Makes a change! Though on reflection I don't know which is more frustrating.
