    Do you only play tournaments with LP in the name?

    Tonight I sat as the only person registered in a $5 buy-in $250 guaranteed tournament that was set to start at midnight, finally at about 10 minutes before it was set to start one other person joined me .. but too bad it needed 15 to start.

    The LP Graveyard game started an hour later and had 10 people play.

    So the LP players would rather play a $2 buy-in with a prize pool of $20 than play a $250 guaranteed tournament simply because it says LP in the name?

    This makes no sense to me what so ever.

    Do most of you guys only play tournaments that have LP in the name?

    Wouldn't it make much more sense to load up that $250 gtd game with LP and WHL players.

    The people in the forums are pretty social. I checked that game out of curiosity and we had a handful of non forum LP players in there. Most of our players that come from outside affiliates aren't even aware of the forums. I have found in the past if I want a guarantee to fill, I spam the cash games and yell in our forum shoutbox and we usually get the minimum. I think most of our players looking for a guarantee still go to FT or Stars which is a shame. LP has such an over and you are right with only 15 players required to get it going, there are great odds. The other skins can not see our shoutbox in the card room so the game chats are best.

    I am always looking for games to fill. I am not a fan of the constant micro-games.... if I wanna play in a tourney... I like a big payout. I love the guarantees on LP but people never seem interested in anything other than micro limits. It even stands true in the cash games as well.

    I agree Jen, it is a shame that more people don't look at these guaranteed games on LP .. LP has some good ones and the overlay is huge in most of them. If we just get the 15 players to get them going .. and if we stack these games with LP / WHL players then that is more money that stays on LP which is good for us all.

    Nicci, lets work on changing that .. if a few of us start joining these games more will follow

    I don't really go around looking for tournaments to play in. I'm not really a tournament player, but I play in most of LP's because I like the people...and it's a good break from my cut-throat cash games, someplace where I can relax and just play casual poker.

    I don't even notice the titles, if the structure is something appealing to me I play if not then I dont.

    I've actually been a little sad about the LP tables lately just because I like playing tourneys, (I know exactly how much I'll end up losing), but all I see in the main tournament room is 0 players.
    Advice is what we ask for when we already have the answer, but wish we didn't.

    GARY, I love the .50 micro rebuy. I have made some nice cash on those. I also like the guarantees...The issue for me is the rebuys, for the games. I like the .50, and that's it, as for rebuys go. I have lack of control..then tilt when I get donked on...and double rebuy...

    The other micros are a waste of time.

    Most of the guarantees seem like they are R/A...I hate that...
