Got itxD

btw. Im looking at the lobby now. 70 000 players but no 18 - player sng running. Is it possible getting the volume in?

[CW Buckeye]

Count me in for a crisp five spot. Finally, a competition that doesn't require me to break the official bankroll management rules.

Smaller format sit and gos really punish my seemingly deep, genetic tendency toward spewiness.

How are we going to do 100 18-man sng 55$ when they never fill up at fulltilt poker? If its only me and u Chipless I suggest you name a another type of tournament to host this challenge..

I went ahead and reduced the minimum number of games to 50, so that should help.
