Orleans Chip Chop Survivor?
Anyone know these? Basically it seems to be a regular Survivor, except the payout is a chip chop.
Since people are incentivized to accumulate the most chips they can, is there a specific strategy for these? People were betting 5x pot in the early going. I got in a couple early pots, going 3 ways and betting to the river. It was frustrating because I only won a few thousand betting normally, but this guy to my right won 2 or 3 headsup pots. Except he won 20 or 30 thousand betting wacky.
Is that the strat? Is there any nuance to it, or do you just bet like crazy and hope your hand is good?

Never played any of these, but the concept in itself sounds fun. Seems like the ones at The Orleans start at 10pm though, which makes it a non-show for me. How many runners did the one that you play have, and how many got paid?
I would honestly just play them as a regular MTT, and then ramp up the aggression towards the end if you have a decent stack.

LOL, 11 runners. It's theoretically an MTT. They said something about making the guarantee with 10, so I think 2 got paid?

I defaulted to that, but the guy to my right had about 75% of all chips in play. He was able to throw around stack-sized bets (our stacks, not his) with impunity. He could call any sized all-ins with hardly a dent to his stack. I'm sure he bluffed me out of AK on a couple flops by donking a non-A/non-K. A late reg doubled up on his 3rd hand, and became the second biggest stack. I guess you takes your chances early to double up.
The 10 pm start is a problem - the structure is play 16 levels plus one hand. Over 4 hours.
