10 players is the minimum necessary to the tournament starts.

and we're having issues get 10 at Cake
I think that lack of participation is a combination of things:
1) It is very late. We had a test with Carbon with a late game and it had fewer than average numbers too.
2) Cake's poker software is just awful. Not only 2.0 but people are even having issues with the version 1 client.
3) The payout is low (but my argument to that is that the point buy-in is even lower/dollar payout than Carbon or Full Tilt)
At the end of the day, it is still a free tournament. This site is all about free-rolls yet we have a hard time hitting numbers. If we had the opportunity, I would suggest moving the cake tournament to roll in between the 2 Carbon tournaments (yes I know that would mean over-lapping tournaments but running it at like 6 would diminish that effect). Moving it to an earlier time would give it a better chance of getting populated.
Otherwise, I would live without a Cake tournament... especially if we could get another carbon tournament... :)
I'll be playing in as many Cake tournaments as I can. I hate Carbon. Cake actually answers my e-mails; intelligently too. I just feel safe on Cake.
I'm trying to play many cake freerolls as I can too, this week I've been kind busy so I only played one, will try to play more.
I don't like Cake Poker that much, rewards program I don't like.
Are the Cake freerolls getting the required 10 players now? It seems a shame to have to cancel them, when only 40 pts buys you a spot!
just signed up with cake poker. I will try the freeroll so you can count at least one to be there. :)
What is it? no played
on cake, it's toooo late, and there s a lot of ifference between this poker room an psr ftp
