Title: Luton Post by: snoopy1239 on August 10, 2005, 01:30:46 PM Just got back from a tiring few days in Luton.
A few thoughts: -- Sorry if I ignored any blondites. I'm not very good with names and I don't know the faces of some members. -- Well done to the Blondeites who cashed. Jen, Tikay, Malc, Camel, Lloyd, and co. - sry if I missed anyone out. I thought the field was pretty strong for a 200 event, so reaching the final out of 140 entrants was a nice achievement. -- I loved the blind/clock structure. It's not often you find a comp like this that allows for so much play. Some were even suggesting it was too generous. Perhaps they were concerned with being too tired for the other events. :-\ -- I predicted it would go to a deal with about 5 left. No suprise really when 1st is 10k and 2nd is 5k. That's a hell of a gap. Does 1st really do THAT much better than 2nd in comps? Anyhow, I saw some keen faces when the deal was mentioned. :D Who wouldn't be eager to strike a deal when they are being offered just under 2nd prize? -- I presonally had a gr8 time. Satisfied with my performance, learnt a lot, and thought Luton put up a well organised and very affordable comp. -- Brief message to Tikay. (aka Grandad) I'll get my revenge soon for you knocking me out the comp and not letting me outdraw you. Very selfish. :P ;) I was looking forward to fluking the comp from that 1 chip. ;D L8ers all. :) Title: Re: Luton Post by: TightEnd on August 10, 2005, 08:27:18 PM the best structures anywhere,period...and now they have flattened the prize structure too

They've broken ranks by flattening the Prize Structure. Luton lead, the rest will HAVE to follow now. Sooner or later.

First was 10k 2nd 4k and 3rd 1k Title: Re: Luton Post by: tikay on August 13, 2005, 03:49:24 AM I think that's a little harsh James. It's particularly tough to get to get a correct Prize Structure for a shootout. They tried to innovate, let's not jump on them if - IF - they did not get it spot on. Title: Re: Luton Post by: Royal Flush on August 13, 2005, 04:34:37 AM sorry yes my post seems a bit harsh.
I just dont understand why they didnt use the payout structure they have been using since monday..... I was very annoyed when i found out the structure, however it didnt affect me as i came 3rd on my table in a coinflip for all the chips! |
