Update and Multi-Entry tourneys.

     Just a quick update. I've been slowly climbing my way back up. Playing mostly SNG and MTT SNG in the $5 range. Doing alright. Been sick the last few days so I've been only playing one or two tables at a time. Can't seem to focus enough on 3 or more. Medication is making me fuzzy.

     Looking forward to getting better so I can try out the new Mulit-Entry tourneys FTP is now offering. An intriguing idea. For those of you who don't know (and from what I can figure out ATM) these tourneys allow you to buy in multiple times into the same MTT. You play your different stacks at different tables, and as you get closer to the FT your stacks will merge. So say the tourney pays 18 players and you have three stacks in play. One 2K, one 3.5K and another at 3K. SInce you can't be playing two sopts at the same table your two lowest stacks will be merged and you will aoutmatically be paid 18th place money. If you get to the final table your last two stacks will be merged and ou will get 9th place money. At least I believe this is how it works. Like I said, havn't tried it yet.

     I guess there are upsides and downsides. Downsides: Lots of Reg's buying up spots and sitting on lots of tables making the games potentially harder (not a problem for me though). But I guess the upside would be more fish bloating the prizepool and negating the effect of mulitstack regs.

     Lke I said, could be interesting. Now my only hope is that FTP doesn't make all tourneys into this format like they tried with Rush and On Demand. Call me old school on this, but I still like the idea of having a cap on player entries in SNG's and I'm a believer in "One tournament, one entry". I feel the idea of multi entries kinda negates the whole idea of sites being against multi accounters in MTT. I dunno. Too much Sudafed I think, can't think clearly....
