Dave Scharf 2 to my left.
And he CHOOSES to sit there. Maybe he thinks I'll be nice to him. $100 SNG, all_aces vs. DAS_DAS at Paradise.
It's all over but the crying. (For Dave, not me).

You can choose your seats in a SNG? Interesting...
Isn't it generally better to be to the left of a maniac?
Me: 770
We haven't played a pot together yet, really. Dave won a big pot with quads when 2 players called his all-in (both had boats). I just folded Ah5s to an all-in river raise on a board of 7h 4h 2s 3h 4c.
This is clearly spam, since you're basically implying that the games at Paradise are so soft that you're guaranteed to have at least 2 chumps at the table in each $100 SNG.

yep I'm out... heading to 50/100 with 600 or so, I see AJ and reraise all-in, AJ vs QQ flop AQx arg arg arg. Time for round two. Hopefully Dave busts out soon so we can have a rematch.
nope.
Easy when the deck runs you over.

what are it's strengths it's weaknesses etc... we've obviously identified one big weakness, having to play against you two at $100 SNGs
easy to clear? requirements?

The big games at Paradise 20-40 and 40-80 are pretty tough. But, that's nothing new. I also find the $10-20 short handed game tough.
I have not played a lot of SNG at Paradise. I used to play a lot of SNG, but I rarely do now. My tastes are in constant flux. Right now, SNG aren't really a big part of what i do.
I play almost no "big bet" poker online. I find that NL and PL take a lot more focus and, frankly, I don't focus well online so I avoid them.
Paradise compares very favoruably with the other big sites. Hard to spot any real glaring differences between them. Paradise has started the "Paradise Million" as their verson of the Party Cruise, Stars Cruise, or UB Aruba. In this case, however, it's every three months and the final table only is flown to a "paradise" location to finish the tournament live. Personally, I find that very sexy. My guess is that the final ten (plus spouses) will be treated to a remarkably good time. That has more appeal to me than a cruise ship filled with poker players, but that is a matter of taste.
Bonuses... I am embarassed to admit I rarely notice bonuses. But (here comes the shill) Paradise is doubling the prize pool in the first Team Canuck Poker tournament on April 30. And, they will be bountying DAS_DAS (me) FastWilly (Ralph) and turniptruck (Bob) at $50 a head. all_aces has been forced to withdraw because, get this, of a "wedding." I told him, "Hey, there is always another wedding, but when will there be another poker game?" But, he seems committed to this so called wedding (not even his own!). Anyway, I am thrilled to have TCP associatted with Paradise and I am really happy with the support they are giving this tournament. So, not strictly a bonus, but is sort of is. Cost will be $10+1.
Wedding, indeed!
About 2 years ago now, the first casino tourney I played in was a local NLHE event. After mentioning the fact I was going, to a few people at work, they all mentioned hearing that Dave Scharf plays a bunch of poker, is pretty good at it, and just might be there. lol
My seat assignment puts me left of Dave, and to the right of another fellow he introduced to me as, "This is (forgot name) and he's a pretty good player."
My immediate thought was, wtf am I doing here. lol
---forgot to add the "2 years ago" part---- my bad
