Clareman

1 typo before I've had a coffee, I'm well happy with that, I know we all strive for perfection, apologise

--STATTO--

Hey bantee hows the form?? long time no talk,ya we are getting between 20-27 runners every friday and sunday i.e the league nights.the league nights are really flying and as for the cash games the round of each has great action especially at the weekends..... 1/2 texas & 1/2 omaha and of course the optional $5 straddle

goonruby

I agree with this porter, the starting stacks are way too small. Casinos in neighbouring limerick and galway give stacks allowing much more play, up to 10k in galway. If this place has any chance of taking tourney players from there they will have to increase the starting stacks. Also their concept of the early bird is flawed, as it stands i can go in after 3/4 an hours play and still get an early bird...

Also i think the tables are too small, having 9 players is a major squeeze. But this is something which i am sure the management will sort out soon.

goonruby

Think i might head down from Galway for the game tonight..
Just wondering does the casino do complimentary food/ drink and do ye serve alcohal like my local casino?
If im there tonight I will be the fish in the corner with the card protector:D
Look forward to paying off all ye Banner boys..

I'm not speaking for the Kings Card club, just making a point. Other casino's or pub games might give out bigger starting stacks which in your opinion gives "more play", but the reality is that it does the opposite. The places that give out the big stacks skip blind levels and the tourney becomes a crapshoot much sooner than a properly structured one with a smaller starting stack.

Example

GAME A GAME B

Starting stack 6k 10k

Level 1--25-50 50-100
Level 2--50-100 100-200
Level 3--75-150 200-400
Level 4-100-200 300-600
Level 5-150-300 400-800
Level 6-200-400 500-1000
Level 7-300-600 800-1500
Level 8-400-800 1000-2000
Level 9-500-1000 2000-4000
Level 10-800-1500 3000-6000
Level 11-1000-2000 4000-8000
Level 12-1500-3000 5000-10000

Now, we'll presume both tourneys have 20 min blind levels (although you'll mostly find the games that give out big starting stacks give shorter blind levels)

If for instance, we say a player just has his stating stack still:

After just 4 levels, the player in game A has 30 bb's while the corrosponding player in game B has 16.5 bb's.

After 9 levels, the player in game A has 6bb's while the player in game B has 2.5bb's.

So even though game A has a lot smaller starting stack, there will be much more play in game A rather than game B.

We here in the Cue Club give a 6,000 stack for F/O's with game A structure, and a game with 20something players in it takes about 4.5hrs to 5hrs to finish.

Next time your playing a relatively small buy-in game with a very big starting stack, take note of how long the blind levels are and how many blind levels are missing.

Thanks for your thoughts Connie, this is the structure of a similar buy-in game in the Eglinton in galway (€45+5)
25 50
50 100
75 150
100 200
150 300
200 400
300 600
400 800
500 1000
800 1500
1000 2000
1500 3000
2000 4000
3000 6000
4000 8000
5000 10000
8000 15000
10000 20000
15000 30000 Frozen

This has an 8k starting stack.

So while I appreciate that a big starting stack with many blind levels missing (as game B above) is pointless, I don't really think it happens very often. Most games with this level of buy in I have played has had the above levels on a 20 min clock, meaning the only variant is the starting stack.

connie147

Then thats a class game. There isnt many cardrooms where youll find an 8k start stack, 20 min blinds and all levels in for €5 reg. If I was to give 10k chips for my F/O games, I'd have to up the reg cause I'd never skip levels. Our Friday game has 7,500 chips and a 25 min clock, but its €70 + 7 reg.

Went here last Sunday for the 35 freezeout as I was in ennis. Club is nice if a bit compact, three poker tables and 3/4 gaming tables. Flyers indicated a 7.30 start with entries accepted till 8.30. This however was abandoned when they had 2 full tables and even turned away a guy who plays 'every Sunday' this annoyed me as 2 of my friends were running late. I said nothin anyway as the regulars were complaining enough.

They game and structure was very good not that I did well but it's a cosy little place and the staff were nice but the above was the only flaw if a big one imo
