I want them to reenter and bloat the prize pool even more lol. But yeah its nice to see the remaining players number not stay at the same number for an hour after everyone rebuys once being knocked out.
 
It's a tournaments without re-enters, if you lose your stack - theres no rebuys here. Prefere exactly freezout torneys, in thems less bingo-allin-players, whos don't scare to risk with all stack, cause have opportunity to make rebuy.
 
By my opinion, freezeout is the best tourney that exist. No addon, no rebuy. You just play with the number of players that is not increasing because there is no rebuy. 😀

I'm pretty sure it means Good to go.
 
I was at a poker table the other day and someone called me a cooler. Now I know that in casino talk a cooler if someone that comes by the table and everyone starts to lose. I think there was a movie about that. So I asked why? Am I making everyone lose? He said a cooler was something different in poker but I'm still not sure what it means. Anyone know?
 
As far as I know, a cooler is somehow the situation when both players have such good hand, that they can't fold and have to go all in.
 
Cooler. Yes for instance no possible flush on the board. No possible straight on the board. You have three of a kind kings, 2 kings in hand and one king on the table, so you go all in. Another person sees an ace on the board and calls your all in. A cooler would be the only possible combination that would beat your otherwise unbeatable hand. This happens frequently in online poker. And in live poker when the poker gods are just against you that day when you could have made so much money if the other person would just have a normal hand for once.
 
A cooler is the best hand that you can't beat. If per say you have a boat/fullhouse and your opponent holds a straight flush. He/she is the cooler having the best hand and nothing you can do about it.
