Check out tigergaming.com . Easily the softest competition I've ever seen online. It's a seven stage SnG qualifier tournament, with Stage 4 at $7, Stage 5 at $50 and upwards..... all single tables, and you earn copper coins for each stage which you use to buy in to the higher stage.

At the stage 5 (remember the winner of this is only one stage away for the direct 6-person seat qualifier), four hands in, I went all-in from UTG+1 with AA against a 10xBB raise from UTG, which resulted in FIVE CALLERS!

My aces didn't hold up, but seriously, with competition this soft, and two seats given out per week until July, it's a frigging joke. I've only put in $20 and I have enough copper coins (this is ONE day playing) to play in a stage 6, although I'm waiting until I have enough coins to let me buy into 4 of the stage 6's.....

lol just as I was typing this following hand came up in a stage 4...

I fold, 6 players see the flop:

7h 7d 5d

some betting, 5 handed for the turn

6c

more betting, 4 handed

4d

First player to act goes all in, which is re-raised by the next guy who has the most chips out of all of them, and then he's called by the other twp on a board that, just for a refresher, is 3 to the flush, 4 to the straight, and paired.

Hands are:

10cQd
9c9s
As4c
5cah

................................................................. 9's win it.

Btw, my name is TreePlant if there's a referall code, but I don't think there is.....

and the blind structures suck balls by the way, 1000 starting chips, starts at 10/20 raise every 10 minutes

even stage 6, equivalant to a 6-handed $500 tourney, is 1200 to start raised every 12 mins.

is the package just a 10K package, or is flight+hotel included?
goose

Good. luck.

been on tiger gaming for 2 years.

Its a Jopke, and qualifying isnt as easy as you think

infact, its rather difficult because they dont get nearly enough rake to afford to give out easy seats, they dont have enough members and no real high limit games.

is there serious competition in the stage 6? I've played two stage 5's now, won one, and I didn't notice anything spectacular, I mean I got outplayed on the one I lost (AhKc on an AJs10s flop), and the guy with trips suckered me into pushing all-in to protect from the straight/flush draw... flipped over JJ, but it's looked relatively soft so far.

Obviously stage 7 will be difficult, but that's expected. Is stage 6 full of sharks as well?

Its the stage 7 thats brutal, they only happen x amount of times, and the players are always a horrible combination of super aggressive, super tight, and a mixture of both.

sooo its always such a toss up, and you really cant put anyone on a win with their structure, i made a stage 7 once and busted in 4th because Uber aggressive guy was catching cards that time.

havent been back for those.
goose
They run them every week at 9p.m. on Friday and Saturday now.
