If you ever played this tourney before youd agree with sirtoyou,its ridiculous,total crapshoot at the end.Made the money last month,average at ft was 150k,chip leader had 200k,fkn joke.Absolutely NO POKER PLAYED at ft,all in all in all in!!Crap

bops

every poker tourney in the world ends up in a crapshoot (look at the wpt ft's) - the game is a one day event, it has to end sometime

LARDO

i heard a rumor the rebel card club are planning a big freeroll that night ? anyone any info? Revenge is sweet for the poker player at least ,lol

DAMO72

Just a bit of advice lad's, not that it's any of my business anyway, But look whats happening in waterford with all the bitchin goin on . I would think that cork is big enough for two places and that if the 2 clubs were to have their bigger events on different nights it would only be good for the players.

LARDO

lol,i agree but apparently on the opening night of the rebel card club they ran a 5k tourney and the macau scheduled in a 6k tourney, its war, yipee, great for the players..lol

The problem with the structure as I see it is there is not enough players getting knocked out in the early stages.The longest levels are the early ones.Last month had a situation where after 4 hours+ of play 7 players had been eliminated.At the final table where the big money is on offer 6k first prize and a summer festival ticket we were 7 handed I was chip leader with 240k and the short stack had 90k.There was 1million chips in play and the blinds were 10/20k.So I had 12 big blinds or an M of 8.The chip average is 7 BB or an M of 4.5.So basically when the most is on the line its bingo.I finished 7th for 800 euro but had I finished first I would be making the same point.Also in last months thread for the same tourney a promise was given by the club to alter the structure at the business end to give more play which was not honoured even though it was requested by the players involved.

Think they could learn a thing or 2 from the bank as regards structures.15k is too much starting stack,10 or 12 is plenty,blinds short when blinds are small and longer as tourney goes on.Maybe even freezing blinds if necessary,SIMPLE!!

DAMO72

Fair point , I would have to agree with that. I just think it would be a shame to see 2 clubs down there and everybody falling out with each other over something that could be fixed with the stroke of a pen . Goodluck and i hope you all can work it out.

Too late!!!

well to be fair in some cases 'falling out' could be replaced with 'shoved away'.

:rolleyes:

Me fail english?? That umpossible.

I agree with the blinds tho. I think it would be a good idea if they kept the same levels but just turned the blind column upside down. Action gets going between the 100/200 and 400/800 in most tournaments usually so keep the clock short and after the 400/800 level switch it up to 30 mins.... or 25mins or whatever.

Wouldnt mind playing in one of these either.

Strange response to a suggestion that at the business end of a tourney stretching out or even freezing the clock to stop it becoming a 6BB avg stack crapshoot.

The art of being a good TD is to be flexible and keep the players happy ( as well as doing what they want with the blind structure )

Macau Cork wrote: »

Even stranger response to a legitimate concern raised by one of his regulars who was reminding him that he had agreed with him to look at the blind structure before the next tournament. His regular SirtoYou (a man no doubt surprised that I am defending him (hope it doesn't cause any problems with the thought(less) police:rolleyes:))who had gone to the trouble of composing quite a detailed response with possible solutions to the task at hand to be fobbed off with such a response shows an inherent lack of respect for one of his customers who no doubt understands the undertone of the "off topic crap" response...



I'd imagine this post will have a limited shelf life.. It probably is crap but the topics addressed are relevant ( unless of course players are not allowed to have any input or opinions )

Deep Throat or shall i call you by your real name your not involved in the poker scene at this club as you know this topic is towards people that play in the club so this is of no interest to you.

Now to anwser the question the blind structure will be changed at tomorrows event.

Also 120 runners tonight for the Satellite 18 tickets given out sorry Deep Throat that must hurt.

So after ignoring suggestions from two of your regulars you have decided to implement changes on the back of my post.:eek:

Bit ironic don't you think.:cool:

I fail to see why you need to apologise to me for giving out 18 tickets for your tournament. It certainly hasn't caused me any pain. Guaranteeing tonights tourney for €20k would hurt me though;);)

bops

good turnout (70 runners)
great craic (lol'd for approx 7/8 hrs)
good structure (progresive clock seemed to do the trick)
excellent dealers and staff (some cracking birds)
top-notch food (as per usual)

wd and keep up the good work,

now if i could only learn to fold 97s this would have a happy ending

bootress

great tourny again last night ,poker was great and the food was fine

well done ken on a great tourney. After much criticism over structure (me included) the progressive structure was ideal, even though there was a four way split there was loads of play left for the extra money for the winner. Well done again on the changes.

Excuse me? And how's that Ken? I was simply looking for a translation for the above post. If you look at the start of this thread you might see that I actually offered helpful advice in a supportive manner and not in a bitchy, whiney way.

If you wish to isolate me over this then I must applaud you. You really are that ignorant.
