21. How are disputes handled - who has final say. the TD.



ok... any questions. I spoke to Sarah in the Jackpot and she seemed to want to play, and to let it be an open tourney, so... COME ON DOWN!

Sounds like fun, and I would be as dead a money as anyone in most of the games, however it clashes with the Fitz 500 I am sorry to say. This will be a pain in the arse to deal though, so good luck!!!

Trippie

im still in, and the offer to deal is dependant on how many pints im in the mood for

fiddlesticks

Im in.
Razz is still upsetting...

Flushdraw

u cant just hi-jack a thread like that!

you playing on sat!?

Legend_DIT

Not hijacking if I mention HORSE at the end - we could call it a Hold'em satellite for it!

Nope, busy Saturday night, and I believe being a luckbox while HORSE is probably more difficult anyway!

ditpoker

while i doubt it matters much, reg for this is now only 3 euro.

AKQJ10

check pm ditpoker

shoutman

Is there enough numbers for this?

ditpoker

i'd say we'll have a STT and some left overs! fiddlesticks playing? he;s very quiet, expected to see him talking up his razz game.

good news too on this front, from january its likely that we can have a bi-weekly €xx+€3 game of anything we want. efffectively its a student game and we choose what we do with it. have to iron out details with sarah but i think we're gonna be looking at a 27+3 round of each tourney.

also, if it turns out that there;s only 6 or 7 of us we change the buy in or levels etc etc.

ooh I like the sound of that
There is slight chance I may be able to play tonight, see how things develop.

fiddlesticks

oh yeah, im still hear..bin busy wit stuff!! Is my favourite cardplayer in the world (aodea) playing??
Razz is now the most upsetting thing in the world...:(

also, plo is emotional!

ditpoker

the legend that is aodea will be attending... its grand though, he's rubbish at holdem and omaha, and stud... his razz game will baffle and excite!

rob, if your playing are you bringing your "guest" for support?

talk of joe oneill playing, i'd doubt it though.

Flushdraw

Jeff, gonna have to miss this game tonight. Against my better judgement, i'm gonna play the fitz 500 game. I'd be into playin the next one you have but try not to clash it with a big festival game! Good luck tonight lads...make sure you post details of the fights over what the nut low was in a particular hand!

Trippie

so anyone up for pints before this then?

burn...:D

Mellor

best of luck with this lads,

ditpoker

12 players, 600 prizepool, played from 8pm through to 4am with one 15 minute break. 10k stack made for LOTS of play! if we are to do this again we're gonna have to work out the format a bit better me thinks. at 4am there was a 3 way chop.

cooker3

3 players who split were Oscar, Jeff and Alan from DCU
Alan and Oscar played well but Jeff on the other hand could be described as a big giant luckbox
In (O)maha he decides to push on flop of T77 (2 diamonds) with 98xx, Trippie has trip 7's with flush draw. Needless to say the turn is a Jack, river is blank and Trippie is gone with Jeff asking was it a good play.
Honestly, donkey stuff!

if you're gonna slag me at least get the details right. I had T,T,8,6. Flop was 977, two diamonds. blinds were 300-600, and there'd been a sneaky min raise to 1200. 4 players see the flop (4800). checked to me and i bet out 2000 (6800), trippie pushes for what turned out to be about 10k. (pot now 16800) and its costing me 8k to call. If i call and lose i still have 15k plus. according to my omaha poker calculator that i have in my brain trippie is a 70.12% to my 29.88% to win the hand. costs me 8k, to win 16+my own 8k and eliminate a player. odds justify the call. great hand by me. i am an expert omaha player afterall!

shoutman

I left at the break and I was chip leader, where did I finish up?

boba_fett3099

Did u guys make all the games pot limit instead??

Trippie

no the final 8 was dragging on a bit and everyone was getting fed up playing limit stud games except for me (they were the only games i could luckbox my way into contention in) so we decided to do something different and go for PLO.


Ps. Jeff was so bad at it he hit runner runner flush and still declared two pair just after he busted me the jammy git.

boba_fett3099

So did people enjoy the fact that it was H.O.R.S.E or would you have prefered a deep stacked NLHE game?? Im gutted i missed this..

But most importantly Jeff proved he's not just a jammy hold'em player, hes a jammy poker player!

i thought the horse was great. You get fed up playing foldem holdem all the time and it was a nice break from it. Plus i wasnt half bad at the stud games.

I didnt really play much of the H.O as during these games were the only times i was able to go for pints as the antes every hand killed you during stud if you werent there. I think that he structure needs to be ammended for it as there were slight problems with it and also some drinks breaks should be incorporated into it if it is on a saturday night in future

bohsman

The structure was far too slow for a 50euro tournament on a Saturday night but a bit of tweaking and you should hold it more ofen maybe every second time with the round of each.

ditpoker

i have 2 requests for those people who know what they're talking about:

1. design a horse structure that would work for an 8pm-2am tourney, thats 6 or even you could do 7 hour tourney. 6k stack? how would blinds work?
2. can someone design a structure for a PLHE/PLO Round of Each Tourney, again 8pm-2or3.

i thought the idea behind the round of each saturday tourney was so that it would be finished by half 12/1ish so we could head out for a while after.

i would prefer if it was horse as i think playing all the games is a bit of craic.

bohsman

You could try it with 10k stacks again but the blinds need to go up every blind level not at the end of every HORSE, also the antes were out of proportion, they should be around 10% of the blinds - this will matter more if the structure is faster, also there was no point starting with 30minute blinds, just gave us time to go for a pint.

I would suggest making the ROE doublechance as PLO is a game where you will need to get it in on a draw, you should have enough experience running a 6hour tournament to find a decent structure.

aodea

Anybody want to try this again. I remeber last time not caring very much but hey it would be different for a change!!!

Ps. My holdem and Omaha have got worse if thats possible!!

I've been getting it in with the worst possible hand since before you could play poker.
