I Will Miss Crypto Tournies

MonteroyMonteroy
in Brags, Beats & Variance
This is more of a standard satellite hand then you might expect there. Burning off my leftover points before Interpoker goes to BOSS.

Main villian was still on tilt from losing an all in to 34o a few hands earlier, he had spent the time calling the 34 guy a donk, fish, tosser and wanker in a fit of rage.

The guy who played the 34 that hand was sitting out the whole time and was forced all in in his BB that hand (on crypto the hand gets played in this scenario).


Anyway, that loss to the "fish" helped create this masterful variation of a squeeze play by him

    Crypto tourney payouts were retarded. They had bottom payouts which were less than the buyin which is useless. Any big mpp tournies to use up my points on?
  • GTA PokerGTA Poker
    It's a freeroll, he probably didn't have time to play it -- I used to do that all the time:)

    There are not too many big ones to use your MPPs on that lack a play requirement. Inter has a few each week that have no requirements, I won $150 in th 100 mpp one a couple weeks ago.

    Sun had some fantastic 1000 mpp ones before they shut down, about $80 value.

    I never really played too many normal tournaments on crypto aside from the larger ones via these very easy satellites, but I don't recall the prizes being lower then the entry fee aside from their headhunter tourneys where half the prize pool was from eliminating people.

    Will Hill had some ok 100-400 mpp tourneys lately as a promo but I had used up all my leftover points there.

    Crypto MPP and cash satellites were the hidden treasure chest of tourney value for the past couple of years, though I have seen some promising signs from the tourneys on the ipoker network thusfar :)

    Dude seriously? Interpoker is leaving Crypto? Amazing!

    I used own the stock pre-UIxGA and they were a pretty solid company (Crypto)..
  • MonteroyMonteroy
    Yes and no. The poker room is moving to Boss, but the casino will still use the Crypto software. I think Inter and Crypto are basically tied at the hip, but the poker client is shutting down (shame because they did use the copy Stars method in terms of software unlike ipokers copy Party Poker circa 2004 approach).

    Is there anything left at all that you can use your mpp's for on Sun? My wife has about 9k points. Did anybody migrate to the new software yet? My wife pulled her cash and moved to Stars.
  • actyperactyper
    Yeah I migrated. That way I was able to signup for the freerolls they gave you and try to sit out ftw

    Interpoker has a 100 mpp thing on Sunday at around 4 pm, usually worth $5 per person or so. Will Hill has their own freerolls.

    May also be the shovefest 30 MPP things on Sunday though I only do the 100 mpp one. 30 MPP ones are 5 slots for a 15+1 satellite which goes to the 110 pound tourney. This week I did a 6th 6th and a qualify in it (though lost in the 15+1 hand 2 when AA lost to K2 suited after he did the standard raise from 20 to 1500 play preflop, guess it worked)
