Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7000953, member: 397965"] ACR also have many turbos and hyperturbos. And while they should probably call it "slow", "regular" and "turbo" rather than "normal", turbo" and "hyperturbo", they do give players a choise. So just check in the tournament lobby, how long late registration will run, before you buy in. Or late register yourself. If late registration will run for 4 hours + breaks, do you really need to be there from the beginning? Or could you not skip at least the first two hours, like most people do? Strictly speaking there is the difference, that players, who joined late, gain an ICM advantage by not having to pay the blinds and antes, while their competitors busted each other. However if someone find that unacceptable, they can late register themselfes. Or even better play bounty tournaments, where its a clear disadvantage to enter late, because some of the money has then been distributed already. When someone enter a bounty tournament with 10-15BB, they are basically putting up their bounty as a delicious dish for larger stacked players to eat, and I certainly dont mind that a bit. ACR have a format, they call "Super Bounty FT play", where the bounty is 75% of the price pool, and its not progressive. Even in those you see people enter late, and sometimes almost half the price pool is distributed, when the last players join. Meaning that if they pay $8,8, then the ICM value of their chips might only be $4-5. Absolutely. Poker sites wont shorten late registration or lower rake or anything else, just because people complain in a poker forum. So if you dont like certain games for whatever reason, then just dont play them. In that way poker sites earn nothing from you in those games, and if other poker players dont like them either, then poker sites have an incentive to introduce something more popular. Vote with your feet / rake money. Simple as that. But despite many complaints over the years about late registration, late registration is not unpopular with poker players in general, since lots of people do it. A few years ago 888 Poker tried to introduce some games with shorter late registration and no rebuy called "the classic". But these games struggled to reach their guaranty, and eventually they were taken down again and replaced with something more popular. Its a bit like people claiming, it would be great with a bar, that did not serve alcohol. But when such a place actually open, then almost nobody goes there. [/QUOTE]
