Is this a level? I think the structure is excellent. Key level? How? What do you mean? Exactly?

fair play, kudos to any TD willing to listen to player regarding tweaking structures, some can be stubborn lol

and lol @ asking is this a level, was ur question a level? the jump from 1/2k to 1.5/3k in terms of bbs a player has is very very steep, and turns a comfortable stack into a critical stack with very little room for maneuvre!

ps will spread the word bout this in the omagh area, will def have to check this out sayin as how close ye's are to us.

there any reason why the antes are introduced so late?

surely u could play 100/200 then 100/200/25 and so on?? normally standard for such tournies.

early antes much better.

big_iain

well played Keith, you are now top of the Irish rankings at mo. Smallwood is looking likely to cash in the Ranking event in Dublin. I suggest you take down the scalps tomorrow to regain first.

If you are up around Letterkenny. The scalps tournament is on tomorrow. It will attract full Irish poker ranking points
