Structure needs work imo, chip average never got above 20bb....and when i left with 58 left avg was 22k and blinds at 800 1600. For 170e in this climate this did not represent value for money. I think a freezout format with 15k stack and 35min blinds would be worth trying. You guys have found a great gap in the market and a more player friendly structure would be a roaring success. Im not alone in my opinions as there was a large discussion in the macau afterwards on the subject.

Hey gorfield cheers for taking the time with feed back ,will look at structure for sure , last night was different to our previous games dont know if it was because of bigger field or what , it did slow down later and did nt finish until just after 4 am ,over 10 hours on the clock but i do here ya

I have heard nothing but good reports from any1 that played the monaghan game , a lot of them were praising the new structure and being fully dealt helped speed the whole game up and made it far more enjoyable to play.
I was one of the knockers of the CPT for more than one reason but from what im hearing back i will surely be returning to their games in the near future. Goodluck to the Liam and Fionn and keep it going the way you are and it wont be long until your back up to the 100+ fields that you were used to in the past.
Damo...

mr hansen

Well I was in cork last night at the event also and don't agree with gorfield at all. For a start there was 75 players who each receive 10k plus 1k bonus chip there was 72 rebuys and topups if my memory is correct so that's an average of 26k. So with 20 players gone when gorfield left the average had to be a lot higher than 26k????anyways besides that it was another great night in my opinion and can't wait till the the Irish poker rankings come into play..... Might see ye in bunclody Liam if I can get off work

dream.

Thanks all for feed back and support I suppose at the end of the day its a one day event 10hrs or so and at some point it will feel quick but i think at the final two tables there was a lot of play , at the midpoint of the game we extended the clock to 30 mins which also i think helped .
Thanks to all again and hope to see ye in Bunclody this friday .

The average stack with 58 runners left was 32,000 20 big blinds , what ratio do ye think is good ?
