I played in the last one (on a comp) and it was ran awfully! They stopped drawing for position (against their rules) which with the rules they have it is critical for the last hand of any round and I had the worst of it in the first round and the rebuy round. The dealer did not know that insurance was not supposed to be offered. In the first round, I was in position 4 at a 4 handed table (three advanced). Betting first on hand 20 is the worst! In the first 17 hands I was dealt 13 stiffs, 3 pat hands and 1 count of 8 which became a stiff on the first draw. I won all ins on hands 18, 19 and 20 and on hand 20 one of the other players made a bad bet. If she had lost and I won I would have advanced. She stood on a stiff against dealer's 3. I had 20. If dealer had made 17, 18 or 19 I would have advanced by $50. Dealer broke. During the rebuy round one of the pit people commented on the girl to the left of me making a good tournament play by standing on hard eight with a minimum bet out. Unfortunately for me, I was out of position on hand 20. She made the wrong bet behind me letting me tie for third (three of five moved on). No redraw for position in the five hand playoff and she made 20 or 21 on three of the four hands we played. She won three and I won none and was forced all in on hand four so I was tapped out. She eventually made the final table.
